I have just booked a return trip to Brussels with Eurostar for mid-August and note the travel times in both directions are longer than usual - just over two and a half hours each way. I presume engineering works are responsible and trains are being diverted away from the high speed line. Does...

I may have missed this development, but unusually today I bought tickets from the ticket office (Wolverhampton) rather than online, and was given two thin paper tickets roughly 3". x 5", one for each leg of my return journey, rather than the credit-card sized cardboard tickets I was expecting...

I have just taken the bus from Milan Malpensa airport and noticed what seemed to be extensive works around the station at terminal 2 and beside the approach roads, and was wondering what they might be. They looked to me as if they might be a new rail alignment. Does anyone have any insights?

I am curious. I am travelling to Paris on Friday and have been asked to provide Advance Passenger Information. This was not required when I last used E* in August. I presume this has to do with the UK's new entry requirements but am wondering when it in fact started - and whether it will improve...

Hallo all. COVID restrictions permitting, I will be travelling to Utrecht in the new year. The quickest route seems to be with a change in Rotterdam rather than going all the way to Amsterdam and changing there, and I wondered if anyone had any experience of taking Eurostar to and from Rotterdam...

Hello all. If wonder if anybody here knows the answer to this question. I have tickets from Ebbsfleet to Lille for August. Although I haven't had formal notice yet, I know the train I am booked on is not running, and even it it were would not be stopping at Ebbsfleet because stops there are...

I need to go to Liège for a few days in February, and have duly purchased an 'Any Belgian Station' return. That being said, while I am happy to be told otherwise, I'm not sure there is that much to see, and was toying with the idea of popping across the border to Aachen or maybe Cologne. Two...

I'm just curious. I'm in Vienne and have a ticket to Lyon Part Dieu. Unusually in my experience, Vienne is also served by trains to Lyon Perrache. In the UK an ordinary ticket would be good to either station, e.g. (to use a broadly comparable example), 'Birmingham Stations': New Street, Moor...

Although I found a couple of threads about the above, both are closed and some years out of date; so I'm wondering if anyone has more recent experience, specifically about E* check in for my return journey. I will be travelling from Boulogne, and there is a train from Boulogne that arrives at...

It may be too far in advance for anyone to know, but I have been using the DB site to check trains and connections for a trip in September, and see that according to them the Milan-Paris TGV is not running three out of four weekends that month - although it is running in the opposite direction...

Hallo all. I will shortly need to travel to Gatwick Airport from Elmstead Woods, leaving ESD at 0929 (bad train timing!) and changing at London Bridge. This means I have to leave ESD in the morning peak, but will be off-peak at LBG. Using my PAYG Oyster Card with Senior Railcard discount (which...

Apologies if this has already been asked, but the Oxford Parkway threads I found seem to predate the completion of the link into Oxford. Yesterday I travelled from Marylebone to Oxford on a print-at-home off-peak return MYB-OXF bought from Chiltern's website. Not being entirely certain where I...

Turin is a city I know fairly well - one of my favourite Italian cities - but I've not explored the surrounding area much. I'm off to the city for a couple of weeks to work on my Italian, and was wondering about day trips by rail (my lessons are in the morning but my afternoons will be free). I...

My wife will be travelling back from Avignon to Ashford next Saturday. There has been an issue with the newer trains not being able to stop at Ashford and stopping at Ebbsfleet instead. In the event, Ebbsfleet would actually be much more convenient ; so I was wondering which train sets are used...

I will be travelling from Lille to Ghent on Thursday 9 August. When I did some preliminary research using random dates, there was an hourly direct SNCB service from Lille Flandres via Courtrai/Kortrijk at €17 plus a few centimes. Now I am within the booking threshold that service has disappeared...

Hello all. My wife and I have booked a flat after Easter in the town of Manziana, north of Rome. We will be flying into Fiumicino and taking the train, changing at Trastevere. So far, so good: I've used Fiumicino-Trastevere before to connect with the tram. Manziana is on route FL3 to Viterbo...

This is a topic that could go in either the national or international forums; but I was standing on New Street Station yesterday trying to guess where Coach D of my train was going to be (near the back as it turned out), and wondering why we can't have in this country what they do in the...

E* operates a six month booking horizon vs three months for SNCF. I generally book each leg of a journey to France separately as soon as the respective fares go on sale, in order to get the cheapest price for each, but this means missing out on the potentially cheaper connecting fare (and CIV...

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone know if there are lockers or left luggage facilities at Bergamo station? It's too long since I've been there to remember, and my daughter is going next week and was asking. Many thanks.

A couple of weeks ago I travelled to Lyon and Geneva. Due to the French air traffic strike I ended up going via Geneva in both directions, my outbound flight to Lyon being cancelled. No problem with EasyJet about this, and I was able to complete my journey to Lyon by train, returning to Geneva a...
