Cerbere used to have large hotel above one of the platforms but looking on Google Earth, it seems to have gone into disrepair - which is a shame.

Slightly tangential but what's happened to the Bilbao - Barca service?

To put some flesh on the bones. I just made the Barca train thanks to a gate guy letting me on - delay of E* departure didn't help - plus said train had been moved to Hall 3 at GdL...grrr. In the main it was all good and no bad, despite being pricey but one thing I'd like to share was my...

Cheers again. Will only be using RER D - GdN/GdL.

Good skills. So what I might do is download the 'App' anyway, then see if I can purchase tickets on board Eurostar and if not, just purchase a couple via the above. What could possibly go wrong? :s PS going in ten days so should still be okay, no?

What is the easiest train ticket to use crossing Paris these days... GdN - GdL and vv? Paper tickets have gone so I believe but did check out a 'Navigo Easy' thing, which can be downloaded to one's phone and then journeys added to it. Is this the easiest way and from where does one obtain said...

Thanks for the input but don't do the flying thing... 1687429743 The price is not a massive problem - no more €29 one way first class any more! - and once one has been built for speed, it's hard to turn back the clock, no matter how pleasant the coastal route to Barça may be. 1687436247 Thanks...

Hi chaps. It's been a long time since my last trip, almost four years and much has changed since then. Especially with the French bringing forward the timing of the first train out on said route making it now impossible to connect with the early Eurostar.... #grrr I digress. Not going until...

Not ignoring you guys but really busy at the moment, plus somebody from Trainline has just responded to my Twitter query. Will be back later during the w/e or Monday at the latest. Thanks again. 1661096403 Now all sorted by no. 1 daughter. Card was on phone all the time but a conflict of...

Have tried that but...says the a/c no. sent via email doesn't exist and now there is a new email address for me, which I have no knowledge of. Seems like I've been screwed over/under? Tried logging in with my regular email a/c but haven't got a scooby as to what the password is. Basically, I...

Perhaps I didn't explain my quandry properly... My sister in law sent me a link re the deal being offered, if one purchases a three-year senior rail card the price has been reduced to just £47. Thinking this to be a good deal, i went through the process, paid my money and was then asked for my...

Yesterday I purchased a three-year Senior Railcard via Trainline.com for £47. Followed all the details and they sent an email to which I responded with my number but after three attempts, still have yet to receive a response. I resisted a smart phone for years so may be missing a trick here...

I've purchased two return tickets from Trainline for the next Bank holiday weekend from East Croydon to Brighton, leaving Thursday and returning to London the following Sunday. For some reason, probably a senior moment on my part, they have sent me e-tickets but I'd like to be able to exchange...

@ Gloster That kinda makes sense now. I'm getting my Calais and Boulogne mixed up. So thinking back again, I would have caught a Turbo from GdN to Boulogne Hoverport then 33 minutes later up the ramp at Folkestone then into town for a few light ales. Just had a quick rummage through the old...
