I also am planning to do Domodossola to Locarno in September on an Inter-rail. Does anyone know if the interchange from the Brig-Domodossola train to the Centovalli line at Domodossola is straightforward? I have about 15 mins for the change which I know is usually masses of time for a Swiss...

We stayed at the 5* Hilton, which is just round the corner. Very nice indeed... We only did this because we got one of their advance deals and it was a weekend - if you can find one of the deals they are incredible value for money. We paid about £70 for the room including breakfast for two...

Hi, The wife and daughter (12yo) are planning a visit to see a friend in Forres, Scotland. The draft itinerary is to travel on Sunday August 11th and back on Thursday August 15th. They have no preference about going via London or via Birmingham (or indeed via Glasgow or Edinburgh). They...

I remember being on a full 10-coach special in the 80's for Swindon fans to go to Carlisle (division above us) for a FA Cup 3rd round match... Always seemed to be a lot more short-notice specials could be arranged back then. Ah! That was a great day out! Snow over Shap. Good result 1-1...

Thanks for the input, everyone. We did arrive late at our final destination with DB on that ticket, it's just lucky that I'd allowed extra time in Brussels which absorbed the delay. Eurostar was booked and ticketed separately. But DB didn't know what my onward plans were after Brussels...

Just got back from a week in Switzerland with my wife and two kids aged 12 and 11 (full trip report hopefully to follow). Went out via Eurostar to Brussels and then ICE to Cologne for an overnight stay on Fri 5th. We were informed that due to a train defect on the Cologne-Brussels ICE coming...

Thank you both very much, that's extremely helpful. Regards, Pete

Hi, (please excuse the missing umlaut not sure how to get one!) I am trying to track down validity maps for these tickets, in particular the Bremen / Niedersachsen ticket. I have read that it covers Hamburg but would like to be exactly sure what/where the limits are. Failing definitive...

Thanks for all the info. I did look at the other options but as we will be travelling every day for 8 days doing a lot of miles (sorry, kilometres) I quite like the idea of the flexibilty to hop on (almost) any train and also having city transport being included without the need to buy any...

Quick question as I have not had a Swiss pass before. If we buy 2 adult Swiss passes with a 15% discount do both adults need to travel together always? Not trying anything funny, but have a family holiday planned and very probable mum and daughter may wish to stay and shop at least one day...

I was chatting on the platform with my brother who works for FGW when a passenger came up and said "Sorry to bother you, but I couldn't find my a*** with both hands" and quick as a flash before he got any further my brother answered "Well, I'm afraid I can't help you with that sir, but if you...

The first option sounds interesting - particularly on the return. Should certainly save a few quid anyway. Thanks very much for the prompt reply. Pete

No, I'm an idiot... oops! I meant outbound Wed 2nd Jan and return Sat 5th Jan. Sorry! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- And completely flexible on trains / routes... Thanks
