I'ved tried again after a while and it worked this time. Another issue I've run into, however, is that whenever I try to download anything from DLS, nothing happens when I click the download button. I've also tried downloading individually via the content manager, but the button is also not...

I just bought Trainz 2019 on their store, but cannot download it as both installers show this Error 502 bad gateway. I cleared cache, but still to no avail. Does anybody know how to fix this issue, as digital downloads are apparently non-refundable?

After doing some researching, I found that there is a Zurich to Stuttgart service which uses those IC2 double-deckers (and incidentally goes via Schaffhausen), so that's definitely an option on the way back from Switzerland. The route appears to be very scenic too, probably more so than the...

Thanks for letting me know, in which case an hour in Mannheim would be excellent, as that'll give me an opportunity to see another city as a bonus. In any case, I'd probably plan for a 5pm departure from Basel beforehand before 6-7pm to increase this window. The change in Frankfurt to access...

You'll be surprised how much of a city I can cover within a few hours, but then again I suppose Berlin has far more to explore than, say, Leeds or Newcastle. Either way, I'll probably revisit Berlin to explore it properly anyway, so I might as well check it out briefly beforehand. Could you...

I was thinking of possibly getting a TGV Duplex (no reservation required as long as I don't cross the border to France) to Karlsruhe from Frankfurt so that's a nice shout. Perhaps I could go there instead of Berlin (saving the latter for another time), what do you think?

Luckily I'm flying back on the 13th before all this starts. And thanks for the tip, so general rule of thumb is nothing too ambitious on the last day.

Ouch, and I thought Britain had the short end of the stick (well, at least the ICE trains are probably far nicer than any British train will ever be)! I wouldn't mind getting off at Basel Bad to be fair, as it would mean I get to explore more of Basel as a bonus while walking to the SBB station...

It's because I booked a hotel for 3 nights in Dusseldorf (was a pretty good price for the location), as it seemed easier than checking into a different hotel each time. I would've gone for a night train to Switzerland, but I wasn't sure how much sleep I'd actually be able to get compared to a...

So I have finally decided to take the plunge into this Interrail thing, starting off with a basic 4-day pass to test the waters. I reserved a cheapo hotel in Dusseldorf near the Hauptbahnhof for 3 nights in mid-June (not too early not too late) this year as after some research, I found this was...

To circumvent this, the first class section at the back (relative to direction of travel) is always declassified on Thameslink services, so head straight there if you happen to be on one longer than an hour. Did St Pancras to Brighton and back on a 700 and this section is more suited for those...

Because the €49 Deutschland Ticket is valid for a month, whereas the €46 QDL ticket is only for a day, are there still any benefits to the latter compared to the former?

How is the 1104 departure to Amsterdam and the 1301 departure to Brussels? Those are likely to be the ones I'd aim for if I used an Interrail Global pass instead.

Just to double-check since I've recently signed up: If I booked a journey through Avanti to Birmingham (I know Preston to Birmingham is long enough for a qualifying journey), would I have to book Preston to Birmingham as a separate booking (i.e. the booking has to be between the two Avanti...

In case you didn't know, the first class section at the back (relative to direction of travel) is declassified on all Thameslink trains. Thus, a first class ticket won't be necessary for this. Personally, I found the first class section reasonably comfortable, although it's pretty much what...

Just found another thread recently started here which has some interesting ideas. The Brighton to Bedford one and back from midnight to 6am is not a bad shout, provided you go for the declassified first class at the back.

Ah fairs, so if I got to StP by 3am (whenever the night bus from Victoria arrives) I could probably chill in Starbucks (or anywhere else in StP that's open 24/7) for 2 hours before getting into Eurostar check-in?

Anyone have any experience getting the 0616 to Amsterdam? What are the queues like to board this train from StP? Considering booking this, as all cheap fares seem to be for this time and the timing would allow me to return to London on the same day (kinda fancy a daytrip to Rotterdam) on time...

Not sure if this has already been discussed before elsewhere, but what are some examples of train services (preferably long-distance) that run through a large chunk of the night (i.e. starting before midnight but reaching its destination around 4-5am or at least late enough that you don't have...

All pre-2015 Desiro units use the exact same type of seats. Thus, the 350/2, 360 and 450 are indeed all the same seats for the 2+3 layout. Likewise, the 2+2 version of those seats (which have more contour, slightly winged headrests, tables and armrests, and probably a bit more padding) are used...
