I think for an international sleeper service, 3 weeks isn't really a 'long way off' from a passenger's perspective. Personally I would rather they confirmed the change as soon as it was changed on their own website, and then followed up with a reminder a few days before the journey. If they go...

Not always, but it does show this one!

My parents are travelling from Berlin to Brussels on 24th June, booked a while back. We just happened to be checking schedules online and noticed that the train is now using Berlin Gesundbrunnen rather than Hbf, with a new departure time. No communication from ES on this. I assured my dad that...

For what it's worth, if you did want to do Spain/Portugal - we did this in September using interrail and had a great time! Lots of slow trains getting to Portugal but it is quite an adventure. Outbound we went via Vigo and the line from there into northern Portugal. On the return we came back...

Worth noting that your pass will cover you on the suburban Rodiales trains within Barcelona with no reservations - two of those lines (R1 and R2) hug the coast to the north and south of the city so you might be able to use that to your advantage also!

I did a similar journey last year and worked out that interrail would be cheaper, even booking in advance. And that was coming from London. To help with your cost estimates, assuming just going to Barcelona and all your travel on a 4 day interrail pass: Adult Pass cost = £241 UK trains = free...

Thanks for the advice! For the way back I am looking at 9th May - again there is trackwork quoted on the SJ site. Snalltaget mentions track work in Denmark this time - do you have any details of what this is and whether it's likely to have the train cancelled?

Thank you, I think I will try for the following weekend in that case - as we have plans on the Sunday so a delayed arrival would not be ideal.

Yes it runs 7 days per week

Hello, we are planning to take the SJ Euronight from Hamburg to Stockholm (or possibly Norrköping) on 26th April. Currently the SJ website is suggesting a long journey with 3 changes but says 'Track Maintenance in planning' meaning it won't let me see any details of the itinerary. Does anyone...

There is now the addition of a signalling fault in the Swindon/Didcot area meaning that GWR are also heavily disrupted - staff trying their best at Reading but all the screens showing cancelled / delayed doesn't make it easy. Plus Newbury-London trains all cancelled meaning fewer trains stopping...

Hi all, Has anyone on EE had no service on the jubilee line extension recently? Was working fine for me until a couple of weeks ago - now I'm getting nothing. Others on the tube seem to be connecting fine though.

Something weird going on with Lizzie line live departures today. Every service seems to be showing twice, and the duplicates are showing as 'Delayed' after departure. Makes for quite a confusing experience.

All TGVs are reservation only, so in theory they can sell out. If sold out you won't be able to book tickets at the station. Additionally the fares work like air fares so they will increase as you get closer to departure. For price certainty and guarantee of getting on the train you wish, I...

The tube network is designed to carry a high volume of passengers over a short distance - space taken up by toilets is better used for additional standing capacity. I completely agree that more stations should have toilets and indeed more public toilets in general should be available. I don't...

There are many commutes from the edges of the underground network which may take over an hour - but most people see why it wouldn't be practical to have toilets on the tube. It's unusual for high capacity metro services to have toilets. The real fault here is how long the evacuation took.

Unfortunately not, although as stated you could just walk down stairs, tap out at the barriers but not exit. There are pink readers at platform 1 but my understanding is that these can be used to start a contactless journey but not finish one.

There is a yellow reader near the bottom of the steps to platform 17 in the subway - this can be used to start or end a journey on contactless. This is used a lot at Clapham junction as many people switch between paper and oyster there. I've done it many times.

I just did exactly the same thing - very frustrating! You have to add the gift card at the point of purchasing the train tickets, rather than beforehand. When you come to pay, you can select gift card at that point. NB you can also use Uber Money for Uber Eats orders - for me this will be more...
