Good news and I just hope this means the return of through ticketing to Germany, talk in this thread of through services are absolute dreamland. Isn't it odd how firms take useful functions away from paying passengers and then, when it's put back in place (possibly in a worse form than it was...

I was expecting a seated sleeper the first time, but I felt like I was in a parallel universe with a whole population of nocturnal people carrying on as normal as if it were 3pm and not 3am. People were laying down in the bicycle storage area on the Cologne-Frankfurt train. Ah of course...

Vienna - Brussels is a great (re-)start to night trains in Europe. Seems like governments, in this case Austria and in the Malmö-Cologne plans Sweden, are finally waking up to the need. IMO Vienna - Brussels needs to leave Vienna earlier to optimise the running, 10:55 is too late arriving in...

For a long while I've had my eye on EN 414. It's the daily connection/sleeper from Belgrade to Zürich. Leaves Belgrade at 10am, passing through Serbia Croatia Slovenia Austria Liechtenstein Switzerland before arriving at Zürich HB at 9:30am. That's six countries in just short of 24 hours! I...

It's temporary while they complete all the construction work for the new ICE line to Erfurt/do other track work. That ICE from Dresden to Düsseldorf is the only long-distance service that runs through the City Tunnel, twice a day. All other long-distance to/from Dresden from western Germany...

According to öbb.at there are several direct buses / day.

Look at the map here: http://www.kvb-koeln.de/german/neue_tarife/tarifgebiete.html It does seem unnecessarily complex to me, but here goes: 1a is for journeys within a district or city, with the exception of Cologne and Bonn. 1b for journeys within Cologne or Bonn 2a is for...

As 30907 said above, bookings will return to the normal 90-day window on 15th October

On Saturday there was an open day here at the Masserberg Tunnel on the new line currently being built between Erfurt and Ebensfeld. I live locally so popped along with my camera to get a few shots. More info on the line here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg–Erfurt_high-speed_railway...

Vogtlandbahn runs several services into Czech Republic, including Marktredwitz/Plauen-Cheb & Zwickau-Karlovy Vary. There's also the ČD service between Decin and Bad Schandau. Another interesting one is the restoration of the border line running between Sebnitz in Saxony and Dolní Poustevna...

As far as I can see, you didn't arrive late at your final destination, is that correct? You're only officially entitled to a refund from DB if you're more than an hour late in reaching your destination. All that Thalys nonsense was unfortunate and, by the look of things, very badly organised...

Another tip: To filter out the Thalys trains (where the London-Spezial isn't valid), put "Bruxelles-Nord" and "Köln" in the via section and then select direct services in the transport type selection thing lower down. Last year London-Spezials were €49 (€45 with a Bahncard). Did...

Last year I managed to pick up one of the two 19 quid London-Fort William bargain berths available each week. They were always available for travel on Tuesday night, and available to purchase on the Friday morning twelve weeks before date of travel. I did a few dry runs over previous weeks to...

Hi all, I want to travel from Brussels Midi to Aéroport Charles de Gaulle this spring on the direct TGV that serves the airport before skirting around Paris and heading down to Marseille. SNCF won't offer me a saver fare (Prems, or such like) for the journey between Brussels Midi and Aéroport...

If you want "interesting", I'd suggest the Eurostar to Brussels, then the IC 97 from Brussels to Strasbourg (through Luxembourg), crossing the Rhine in the Ortenau S-Bahn to Offenburg and then heading back up north to Mannheim on any Switzerland -> Germany ICE. Or, if you want quick and...

Thanks for the comments. Yep that's the line that splits off up the valley in the first picture. Starts/ends at Neuhaus am Rennweg before heading down the valley through Ernstthal, Lauscha and Steinach, through Sonneberg and back up towards Meiningen and eventually Eisenach. It's a wonderful...

I'm not really sure where to put this, but I posted it in a German rail forum and thought it may be of interest to readers here. Feel free to move if this is in the wrong section. I live in a town called Sonneberg which is in southern Thuringia, right on the border with Bavaria. During the GDR...

Try http://jizdenka.idos.cz/IT.aspx?Lang=69 and click on "INTERNATIONAL TICKET" top-right.

The info about it being automatically renewed is all over the German language terms and conditions, I guess they haven't translated that bit.
