I plan on spending a day and an evening next week in either Brindisi or Lecce - depends on what time I get off the sleeper train... I've not been to either before so would be interested in thoughts on what each is like close to the station and if there is any special transport of interest...

I applied for compensation relating to a train from Como to Venice that was diverted and ended at Milano Centrale. I got confirmation of my application from, "trenitalia_risponde@trenitalia.it" on 4 July. It says that I can't reply to that email address. Does anyone have any thoughts on what I...

I was filling in some gaps on an interrail trip to Venice early next week and only just now notice that there is a bus replacement service between Tirano and Milan.... Extra annoying as I already booked accommodation in Tirano but never mind. We'd probably chose not to do the Bernina Express...

I'm very familiar with London to Greece - using a senior Interrail pass has worked well for me But this March, I need to get to Antalya.... I've obviously looked at the Seat61 options but thought it would be worthwhile for me to get input here too. I'm travelling on my own and happy to take 7...

Any thoughts on why DB splits this journey when just staying on the ICE 316 would get one there 5 mins earlier? Also, any estimates of the % chance of getting on the 1420hrs Eurostar to London with the later connection that arrives in at 1335hrs?

Trying to buy some reservations for a 2 bed cabin on Inter City Notte but ItaliaRail seem to want a different number from normal.... "Please add your Passholder number below. This is the "Order Number" listed at the top right of your Mobile Pass email confirmation. It begins either with EU or...

Twice a year I seem to form a new spreadsheet to plan the different options to travel across Europe by train via various different routes. I wonder if anyone here is aware of a master spreadsheet to facilitate such planning?

Does anyone have any bright ideas about how to do the above journey on the evening of October 11 or the morning of October 12? I see there is a flight from Vienna to Kefalonia on Saturday afternoon but if that was the option then any ideas on a decent route to get to Vienna airport?

On my way back from Greece and currently in a rather chilly but sunny Domodossala. I've got reservations for 1100hrs Lyon to Lille on Sunday and wondering whether to stay overnight tomorrow in Chambery or press on to Lyon. I'd probably rather stay in Chambery but I'm aware that if the Sunday...

I'd like to buy a ticket for a young person so that they can take the Eurostar for a return journey to Paris or Amsterdam. I don't however know when they'll want to go. Obviously I don't want to just buy them an expensive fully changeable ticket so does anyone have any thoughts on how to...

I'm in Greece at the moment and need to be in Lyon for Saturday 18 May to get the Sunday morning train to Lille and then Eurostar back to London. I've got interrail reservations for that bit (although the Lyon - Lille part could be cancelled without charge). I'll get the boat to Bari or...

I find myself in Milan overnight today, thinking I would be getting a ferry to Greece tomorrow. I thought I could just stroll into the ticket office to get my Interrail reservation for Bari for tomorrow so I could get there for a 1930hrs sailing. But no, for some reason all the trains are booked...

I need to go from Irun (or possibly San Sebastian) on the morning of Tuesday 26 to arrive in Pinhal Novo some time on Wednesday afternoon. The 2 routes that are just by train are: 1) Irun to Madrid, then onto Merida or Badajoz to overnight before carrying on to Entrocamento, Lisbon and then...

I'll be in Irun in Northern Spain first thing on Tuesday 26th heading towards Madrid I expect. Am I correct in my understanding that there is no way to book reservations for use with my Interrail Pass online? Instead, I can telephone Renfe 3 days before and they "reserve the reservations"...

I know that (obviously) both people need to travel together in order to use the card to obtain 1/3 off. Does anyone know if both people need a ticket though? For example one person might have a pass that covers part of the journey - in which case can the second person receive the discount on the...

2 of us need to do a day trip this Friday of London to Penkridge via Stafford arriving mid morning then on to Birmingham for 4pm ish then a few hours later back to London. Any thoughts on the cheapest way please on a "close to quickest" route? Happy to buy a Two Together Card if need be...

Hi All I need to get from Sydenham to Guildford by 10am both tomorrow and Friday prior to returning at 11am ish to Sydenham. I have a tfl Freedom card for London but that won't help me for the journey there of course. I also have an unused interrail day left over from a recent trip back from...

Due to the train into Milano Centrale being 42 minutes late earlier I find myself in Como S Giovanni rather than Tirano so I'll have to revisit the Bernina Express another time. I've got an interrail pass and need to be in Mulhouse tomorrow evening. Does anyone have any brilliant ideas about...

I note that the man at seat61 suggests that the best route to Zurich is via Paris Nord, metro to Gare du Lyon and then direct to Basel and then on to Zurich. I prefer Paris Nord, 10 minute walk to Gare d'Est, to Strasbourg then on to Basel and then on to Zurich. I've not tried the seat61...

Bizarrely, I've failed to find a source online but can one buy a ticket - eg East Croydon to Staines - online and not have to pick it up at the station. That is to say that one would just show it on one's phone? I'm used to doing this in Europe but so far failing to do so in the UK.....
