Brian, cheers for your input.
As it happens, and without going into too much detail, my girlfriend is actually working out there at the moment monitoring human rights abuses and working alongside both Palestinian and Israeli groups who want a peaceful resolution to the conflict that exists...
Cheers for that, was hoping for some first hand accounts and user pictures if anyone has any.
Although since posting I have come across this which I found quite interesting (in case anybody is interested).

I'm going to Israel in a few months and was wondering if anyone had any info on Israeli railways, or preferably pictures?
I understand there is a line from Tel Aviv to Haifa which I hope to travel on, has anybody here done this before?
The Diesels were blue IIRC, and they had the name of some rail company or something on the side although I can't remember what it was. I'm used to seeing freight trains pulled by EWS engines on the line but have never seen anything like this before...anywhere.
They weren't HST, they were...
Absolute garbage - if the person operating the computer is given a name and address how on Earth are they supposed to know that the person is a child? In offices where computer-generated letters are sent out mistakes are bound to happen, it's simply absurd to point the finger at an individual in...
I was at Harringay Green Lanes station this morning and a train passed the Eastbound platform - it was 4 bright yellow passenger carriages with the Network Rail logo on the side and it was top and tailed by diesel engines. Anyone tell me what this is?
Cheers for the replies. I’ve only ever travelled overnight in the States and on those occasions I’ve just had a seat, so I didn’t really have much idea of what to expect! I was hoping I’d be able to look out of the window for the brief part of it when it’ll be daylight but I guess the corridor...
I am taking this from Germany to Warsaw (and back) next month and never having travelled in a 'couchette' before, I wondered if you are confined to the room for the duration or is there somewhere else to go and sit when you dont want to lie down/sleep?
Any other helpful advice/tips would be...
I manage to combine railways, photography and football. Travelling around the country by rail to get to 'away' games means I get to travel by rail far more than I would if I didn't like football.
It's somewhat ironic that in a thread of this nature people are slating others who like football...
Interesting, cheers for the info.
However having had a quick search on Nationalrail, Watford Junction to Hereford via Birmingham with a 16-25 railcard comes in at £56.80 return. Whereas Hereford - Worcester via Birmingham is just £28.40 return and Worcester to Hereford comes in at just under...
Is there any reason why it would not be a permitted route? It's not really a big deal I was just interested in the reasons behind it.
I have a 16-25 Railcard so I'm able to travel on VT peak evening services. I tend to go via Birmingham as it saves me getting across London to Paddington (I...
I live in North London and regularly travel to Hereford. I used to take the FGW service from Paddington to Hereford through Worcester, however more recently I have been going from Euston to New Street on VT and down to Hereford on LM.
For some reason I am unable to purchase a ticket for the...
I also have a few up on my blog, not quite up the standard of those already posted admitedly...
