Just received an email from Eurostar regarding my journey from Paris tomorrow, saying I mustn't bring any meat or dairy products into the UK. This is a foot and mouth precautionary measure, and has apparently been in force since April, but this is the first time I've been aware of it. I was...

Next month I will be travelling from Wien Hbf to Salzburg Hbf on RJX68/RJX 868. The main purpose of this journey is to get a meal on the train before taking the sleeper from Salzburg to Paris. VagonWEB shows this train as being two identical units coupled together between Wien and Salzburg...

Spending a few days in Budapest next month. One of those days I’d like to use for a day trip away from the city. As I don’t know the country, I would welcome any suggestions. As I will be travelling with my wife, I’m a little constrained, so… Needs to be accessible by rail (obviously!) Not too...

I seem to recall seeing something last year about a proposal to run steam specials on some of the ex-FEVE network. But I can't now find the original reference, nor have I been able to find any more information. Did I imagine it??

I have to get to Gatwick Airport on 30 January, by around 1100. Southern are advertising a 15-minute interval shuttle on that day. Did they run something similar on previous strike days? (I can't remember.) Would it be foolish to rely on that?

A month or two back, we purchased a PAYG Oyster card for a visitor and registered it under my wife's name (she has her own PAYG card with a priv discount set; I, at the time, just had a 60+ Freedom card). The intention was, once our visitor had finished with it, to hold onto it until we could...

Came back from Paris last week on a refurbished e300. I booked car 1 seats 51/52, which, from all the seating plans I've seen (e.g., https://www.dropbox.com/s/jsotgc97azf9fmv/Eurostar-e300-seat-plan.pdf?dl=0) have a good window view. Yet, on boarding the train, these seats lined up nicely with...

I'm considering a trip to Spain this year to do as much of the (former) FEVE routes in the north of Spain as possible within a reasonable amount of time, maybe 10 days to two weeks. Has anyone any recent information or suggestions on a good way to do this, please? I'm aware of the FEVE Rail...

I am safeguarded staff but as I am now over 60 I no longer have a priv rate Oyster card but use a 60+ Oyster instead :) My wife, though, is under 60 and so at the end of June, as per usual, I took her Oyster card to the local tube station to have its priv discount updated with her new staff...
