I see that the pilot episode of what became Porridge has Stanley Fletcher taken to HMP Slade via train with two escorts, from what looks like St Pancras (wow, that looked grim!) and going in a First Class compartment. When did this sort of thing stop happening?

I'm looking to go to Milan in Italy later this year and would like some advice: I'm planning to fly out and get the train back home; going via the Simplon route partly because of the landslide that's blocked the LGV Sud-East in France. Would it be best to overnight in Paris or Geneva? What is...
