Has anyone else had experiences of trying to get Uber to refund an incorrect fee or fare? I got in one this morning going to Glasgow Airport and the driver apologised and said he didn’t have his pass to operate the drop off gates (apparently private hire have these passes they pay off each...

Hi all, Has anyone ever done this stretch recently? It seems like all the direct trains I had wanted to travel on have been totally canned, I had wanted to travel Dresden-Wroclaw on the RE service last year but it's completely gone it seems? Fast forward, I had a long weekend in Wroclaw this...

An interesting development is that three of the daily 'Westgreen' train from Vienna Wbf to Salzburg will be extended into Germany to/from Munich Hbf. The Westbahn trains will be operated by Meridian on the German section after Salzburg taking over paths from existing Meridian Munich-Salzburg...

Flixbus, the innovative and rapidly expanding European coach operator, is launching a new service from Paris to London. The service starts from next Thursday 24th March and represents a step forward for the operator www.flixbus.co.uk is the new UK section of the website.

Made the top stories in that part of the world. Seems like a young guy doing some traveling ticketless unhappy at being (rightly) thrown off. Sympathies to the staff involved.

Things not looking too great in the North West today at the start of the school holidays. Witnessed two crush loaded Pacers at Wigan Wallgate leaving behind dozens of people heading to Southport. Blackpool services are also very busy , in part due to the blockade between Preston and Bolton which...

Took this route a few days ago, when I last used this service the ubiquitous DB locos and DOSTOs (double decker stock) operated on the line. The new "Meridian" Stadler FLIRTs are very nice, particularly liked the power outlets at the tables and the conductors onboard (about four of them for an...

I've just returned from Copenhagen/Malmö on a sort of business trip and have decided to book a cheap flight next month to Stockholm for a jolly. Looking at some of the stations on the metro there, they look fantastic. What are the most beautiful/unusual stations to see on the network, are they...

I'm in Germany for a jolly next month and was planning a few trips! Now long-distance coaches have been popular in many European countries for years, they were restricted in Germany to protect Deutsche Bahn (there were exceptions for airport routes and international services). However, the...

My local line has been the Birmingham Cross City Line for about a year now. Travelling home tonight I was talking to a group of people who admitted to rarely buying tickets outside of peak hours. I've even inadvertently fare evaded when I forgot my N-network pass had run out, but I couldn't...

Looking at the Anytime Day Return with YP Railcard on this fare, the quickest way (and preferred route for me) is via Banbury. There is only one set of fares, set by First Great Western. The routing planners are refusing travel via Banbury; insisting I travel via Worcester and...

As part of a group assignment on my university course, I'm doing some initial basic market research into a few business ideas. This one is about computing and specifically the market for skills development and basic hardware/software upgrades in a high street environment. There's only 10 short...

Got caught up in the mass disruption caused by overhead line problems at Marston Green today. Of course it's completely inevitable that these things will happen, but I did think there could have been slightly more information and support for those travelling between New Street, International and...

Does anyone know what the likely carriage composition for the EC175 (Hamburg - Berlin - Dresden - Prague - Brno - Bratislava - Budapest) is? It departs from Hamburg at 8.14 and arrives into Budapest at 22.35. One website reckons the composition is completely 1st and 2nd class MAV...

From the Guardian

Flights will be operated three times daily initially by a 48 seater ATR-42. London Area Airports - Dublin is one of the busiest air corridors in Europe and Aer Lingus will offer competition in Essex to Ryanair who are the sole provider from Stansted. It will also offer an attractive option for...

From this month, Flybe will be changing its strategy at Norwich. It's initially handing over two routes to franchise partner Loganair, who will be basing one/two 31-seater Dornier 328s in Norwich. These aircraft were acquired through Loganair's purchase of Suckling Airways (formerly ScotAirways)...

I was reading through an interesting feature on the BBC's website about the upcoming 30 year anniversary of the Falklands War. It presents an interesting perspective on the mood in Argentina about the issue. Some extracts from www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-16858268 My only thought is...

This airline has been mentioned in quite a few threads, so I thought the news of its demise may be of interest. From The Wall Street Journal.. So, basically, the regional Catalonia government will no longer financially back the airline and no buyers are interested in an airline in such a...
