If you have a smartphone, CityMapper does Paris.

From http://londonist.com/2012/01/where-can-you-get-views-cheaper-than-the-shard: The Monument is 62m high and costs £3 but you have to do all the legwork yourself (literally). The Golden Gallery at St Paul's Cathedral is a bit higher at 85m, accessible via 528 increasingly tiny steps. It...

Honest question from some self loading freight with no industry experience. I can see how DOO saves money in salaries etc (which I presume is why TOCs want to implement it?); but if you have a second member of staff on board anyway, what's the advantage of DCO or any other variant? Drew

I suspect it is this: http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/service_disruptions/currentAndFuture.aspx?TravelDate=01%2F11%2F2015&TOC=sn Route affected Between London Victoria and Brighton/East Grinstead/Uckfield Train operator affected Southern Description Engineering work is taking place between...

Gatwick actively discourages pick-ups, and has a bunch of security staff who vigorously enforce this - the only "official" option is to park in the short stay car park @ £3 per hour. If that's the choice taken, then I'd suggest your wife meets her friend in the South Terminal Arrivals area -...

My wife uses a wheelchair, and we travelled London - Frankfurt last year. Post 2 is correct as to pricing - which I know is all you asked about. However, have to say ES were great with help - boarded us onto the train first at both ends, met us at Brussels on the outwards and return, and even...

^ this. On 377s, I often sit by the disabled loo (single seat - I'm antisocial - plus I must have a limited sense of smell). The number of people, the majority of them sober, who cannot work out how to close and lock the door. When they were first introduced, I have a lot of sympathy as the...

Fascinating stuff. Nothing to add, but thanks for all the detail.

Eastbourne (and Hastings etc) have a large population of summer foreign exchange students - have done for decades, I believe. Living in the area, I'm not quite sure of the attraction, but there you go :D Back on topic, I *believe* the trains are supposed to be block-booked by the relevant...

Many thanks both for your advice; it is much appreciated. I did finally manage to get the FGW webtis to give me routes via LBG - problem between keyboard & chair, as always- but if I want to leave Polegate before 8.20am on the outwards, it insists that I must buy an off-peak @ a cost of £126...

Hi all, I am looking to book a journey from London to Totnes at the beginning of July, leaving from work on Thursday 2nd to catch the 14.06 from PAD, and returning Monday morning on the 9.23 (not wedded to these times, but that seems to give the best price). FGW's website gives me a super-off...
