At Premysl, EES and Schengen checks are done at a building on platform 5. Ukraine immigration tends to take place on the train when heading into Ukraine, but on the way back out (when checks are much stricter), the train stops at a border station and Ukrainian border guards take your passports...

I have crossed the Hungary/Serbia border a few times on the Szeged/Subotica route. EES was done via a portable scanner/camera whilst on the train at the Roszke border station. During the early days of EES this seemed to cause confusion with the “main” checks at airports etc with the Germans...

Back in the day Virgin West Coast did have mystery shoppers. They were relieved of duties the day Avanti took over.

I have always used the Disabled Railcard.

I never knew that he had not renewed his practising certificate. You are spot on about his tendency to block anyone who challenges Barrett. It has become somewhat a bit of a joke now. As ever with these videos, we never get context. He might very well entirely be in the right, but litigate...

I am aware of that being a legal professional myself. The problem with Steven is that he does profess expert knowledge in areas of law he has no idea about in reality (constitutional law comes to mind). The video posted by him also makes plain he is a barrister, as if that has anything to do...

Be very wary of Steven Barrett. He is a barrister with a long history of posting nonsense takes on the law with many colleagues in the profession calling him out regularly. I nicknamed him M'learned friend of the Block Button. It is strange that he does not appear to have reported this alleged...

Interrail.eu accept the Disabled Railcard.

First Class, as it is a first class ticket. As others have noted, you get the full offer including lounge access.

Stick to the Simons Town route. The train will pass through some very decent places on the way. Muizenberg is worth a visit as well as Simons Town itself. Take care not to display any valuables and exercise caution at Cape Town station itself. Stick to daytime.

I can confirm that NT94 from Stockholm Central to Narvik is running direct to Narvik and no replacement buses were involved. I took the train last night (12 September) and arrived in Narvik 6 minutes ahead of schedule at 12:34 on 13 September. The journey was spectacular and the sleeper was very...

31 August apparently.

I am booked on the overnight sleeper on 12 September departing Stockholm Central at 18:08 and arriving next day into Narvik at 12:40.

Let us stop messing about and bring back “Merseyside Passenger Transport Executive”. You cannot go wrong with the MPTE :D

LOL! I adopted that approach on the DLR last year. A guy was playing his music loudly for all to "appreciate". My response was to play the National Anthem even louder. It is getting ridiculous. Seems to me many parents now feel it is acceptable and reasonable to entertain their brood similarly.
