    European Sleeper experience

    I've used them three times (including one to Sicily) and they were all reasonably on time (<15 mins late).

    Interrail Global Pass home country outbound / inbound journeys

    I've had it work at Waterloo before, although that is a bit hit and miss.

    Interrail Global Pass home country outbound / inbound journeys

    You essentially get 2 'home' days, so if you leave or arrive Chesterfield and do the Eurostar journey on the same day you will be fine. As for the second point, I think there are different minimum connection times in different places but I'd go for the earlier one to be safe. However, I never...

    Fares differences between Railcards and Groupsave

    I have noticed today using Trainsplit (and subsequently checked on BR Fares) that Groupsave-discounted fares are 5p lower than Railcard-discounted fares. I assume this is because Groupsave is still a 34% discount, whereas Railcards are now 33.34%. I don't think this is intentional, is anyone...

    HS2 Resilience to Flooding

    On the parts of the design I've seen, it's been designed to be operational in a 1 in 1000 year flood event. Obviously there's a size of storm that could render it non-operational but it will be much more resilient than the "classic" railway

    Differences between UK and mainland European railways

    Basel SBB and Berlin Südkreuz both have footbridges, as do Warsaw Zachodnia and Warsaw Centralna (although that is underground so doesn't really count)

    UK to the Continent by Sleeper Train

    You've forgotten the time zone difference. It would be more like 7pm departure from London for a 10:30-11pm sleeper. Including the check in time and transfer across London, you'd have to arrive at your chosen terminal by 5pm, at which point you couldn't leave after your office job, and it saves...

    "Route ." vs "Route Any Permitted"

    It's because the "Any permitted" fares are for a wider cluster of origins and destinations. A cheaper fare has been defined between Oxford and Kings Sutton only which would normally automatically overrule the wider area's fare. However, some genius has come up with the route ".", so the more...

    Luggage size on European Trains

    I believe on TGVs you have to have a luggage tag with name and address if you want to put it in the luggage racks. I don't know how well enforced this is.

    Daily Nightjet from Brussels to Vienna?

    I would be more inclined to trust the Man in Seat 61. The wording in le Monde was slightly ambiguous anyway, possibly as a result of it's translation from French.

    Daily Nightjet from Brussels to Vienna?

    The le Monde article suggests that the other Brussels-Berlin/Vienna portions will be cancelled as well

    Transpennine Route Upgrade and Electrification updates

    I believe it's east of Stalybridge, although how far I don't know. I do know design work had started at least a couple of months ago.

    OEBB refunds efficiency

    Interesting - I got a similar email 2 days ago but was only offered a 50% refund if travelling. I'd expect OEBB to be fairly prompt with the refund, they're normally pretty good

    Off-Peak Return - e-ticket with 'mandatory reservation'

    Do you know if it be possible to implement this, or would it be an accreditation failure? Getting this sort of thing right would really help passengers understand train tickets - ticket flexibility is one of the main sources of confusion
