    Switzerland break of journey

    Next week I'll be staying at my friend's in Geneva, then heading to Bern to pick up my luggage, then going on to Züri, will a point to point be valid, or will I need to buy a Geneva - Bern, then Bern - Züri? AIUI they use distance based pricing but one ticket will just be easier

    Interrail Validity

    Hello, i currently work for a TOC so this isn't relevant yet, but I'm planning on handing my notice in and moving to Europe. Once my FIP has expired I'll be using Interrail, and if my country of residence is still UK before I move it to CH i just wonder how exactly this works. You get one...

    Paris - Interesting public transport?

    I've got a morning and afternoon in Paris next week, I've done most of the touristy things there, and have been looking around for interesting public transport stuff there. I've had a walk around parts of the petite ceinture before, but looking for interesting stuff I might not have heard about

    Metrolink Standard Fare

    I have received a standard fare from Metrolink using contactless. I had tapped in and out several times on the day, and missed a tap out when I checked my journey history, so my next tap in three hours later was a tap out. I have appealed, will this have a decent chance of success? I have a...

    Eurostar Wifi

    Why is Eurostars wifi so much less reliable than SNCF on the same routes or ICE within France? I especially like both DB and SNCFs live map to show exactly where you are, but Eurostar has no live portal beyond the menu for the bar. Just seems something fairly easy to fix, especially as TGVs have...

    Budapest to Belgrade (and Bar)

    I'm looking at planning a trip to Bar however struggling to work the connections out. On MAV website I can find direct trains to Szeged then a connection to Subotica, however all I can find onwards from Subotica is a Serbian press release about new trains in December. Is this train running in...

    Rhätische Bahn (CH)

    I have booked FIP Coupons for SBB, SP and BLS. I will be staying in Bern and want to try and travel on the Rhätische Bahn, however looking at the SBB planner I'm struggling to find a journey that leaves enough time for a decent days walking of over an hour or two. Is this just journey times...

    SNCF FIP/Coupons

    Does anyone have any information about when or if agents like Ffestiniog will get access to their system again? Whilst ringing them isn't the biggest pain it removes the benefit of using the agents which is a one stop shop for an entire trip, speaking to an expert and getting an entire trip...

    Köln Hbf

    I'm on the ICE to Frankfurt, and was making good time until Köln, where we lost around 15 minutes sat in the platform and crawling over the Hohenzollerbrücke. This seems to happen on any train I'm on through the area, is it just air is there a more technical reason why this seems to consistently...

    Intercités de Nuit

    Next summer I'm hoping to travel on the Intercités de Nuit to Portbou. From my brief searching online this isn't running even the Friday night it usually runs during winter. Will this be running by July, is it covid related? Or is it just guesswork like a lot of international travel atm

    Unusual moves Belgium

    Due to the impending lockdown in Saxony my travel plans have changed and I have a free day in Belgium in a couple of weeks. I will be staying in Mechelen and was wondering if there's any unusual stock moves to travel on or some aging or loco hauled stuff around. Thanks!

    Early Morning Metrolink

    Since the early morning Airport services have been withdrawn, there seems to have been silence about when, or if, these will return? Has there been any announcement I've missed, or even rumours seeing as the network seems to be getting back to its usual running

    Covid Specials: could they call at Wembley?

    Man City played Spurs yesterday in the Carabao and Avanti put two trains on for City fans travelling from Manchester. It seemed bizarre putting them in a bubble and providing negative test results when they were forced to travel from Watford or Euston to the stadium on public transport. Why...

    Flight Timetables/Schedules

    Hello I'm looking to see if there's any website that I can easily find flight schedules. I'm looking for flights from any airport in the UK to Turkey, Bulgaria or Romania for a specific weekend, and I think the easiest way would be to find a railway style timetable, which I doubt exists, but a...

    France Rail Strike

    We have a booking for Paris - Stuttgart on the 1355 on Monday, looking more and more likely this won't run, and eurostar are unable to reroute us via Brussels, is there another route or bus/car hire etc from Paris that is looking more reliable as it stands?

    Munich - Zagreb Euro Night

    Is this train still run using Croatian stock, or is it run by NightJet now, I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I assume the other portions that split are OBB stock, but on DB app it does not mention bar service or classify it as NJ, however it is stated as operated by OBB

    Metrolink speeds at Trafford Bar

    I assume the PSRs at Trafford Bar being so low is because of the pointwork, but why do they crawl? Surely the points are safe enough for a higher speed. Could shave a minute- 90 seconds off the journey time
