    Inter rail seat reservation within France

    Inter rail website won’t let me book seat reservation (which is required) for ICE train Paris to Strasbourg But it will let me book the same train to stations into Germany. Is this because Strasbourg is within France? Is there any problem with booking a seat to the first station in Germany but...

    GWR Rewards

    Interesting. i spend about £3,000 a year with GWR, mostly in First Class off peak returns at about £200. A free return with advances will be welcome but I’ll have to switch back to buying tickets from GWR. I’ve recently been buying through the forum to support it and make use of seat selection...

    First Class declassified. Am I entitled to compensation with ALR?

    Response from C2C to my suggestion that they educate staff about All Line Rover validity after I was initially refused entry before 9am. Oh dear. 'I can confirm that as per the Senior Rover terms and conditions, the ticket is valid Mondays to Fridays only, excluding bank holidays and travel...

    First Class declassified. Am I entitled to compensation with ALR?

    I will be submitting a complaint to C2C to suggest better education of their staff is required. 1739545615 I had to go to the booking office and wait while the lady looked up ALR conditions and confirmed it was valid, then get her to indicate this to the gate line staff member. Very nearly...

    First Class declassified. Am I entitled to compensation with ALR?

    That sounds reasonable. This is the last day of the ALR and the only day I’ve encountered problems. C2C gate line member of staff refused to let me through this morning saying rovers not valid before 9.30. Contrast to some of the train managers who have been very interested to talk about my...

    I have a First Class All Line Rover. Today I travelled from Euston to Birmingham. There was no first class catering service. The reason given was that First Class was declassified due to LNER trains being cancelled. There were only 24 passengers in First Class on leaving Euston and spare seats...
