As booked train only has been mentioned it will be the Sailrail Advance. Option 1: Keep the ticket and use it on the alternative TPE, while there is always the possibility of some aggro from a staff these tickets are booked train but not booked route and as the original train is cancelled there...

Thanks for all those suggestions, plenty of options for 2-3 days.

I have a few days left on an interrail and am going to be in Berlin for work so looking at staying a little longer there and possibly a night or two in Hamburg, as flights home from there seem cheaper, to use up the remaining travel days. It isn't a region I have been in much so any suggestions...

Ireland changed all speed signs and limits from on 20 Jan 2005 so yes it has been dared and done. You could argue that it is a good deal of work and expense for little tangible benefit though.

You can get free seat reservations on LNER site for their own trains with seat map selection. For all TOCs the GWR website will issue free seat reservations once you have created an account. No need to sent tweets or give either your ticket number.

I was on the 11.04 a few weeks ago. Entered the queue about 45 min ahead, it was long but not crazy, ended up nearly last on board as the staff kept juggling the lines inside security and I ended up behind a bunch of yanks who took a long time with the French immigration. Still got on well...

In the Leap app, under menu-card information it will tell you the card expiry date. For normal cards this expiry date is dynamic, it periodically extends the expiry date on in use cards. It is only the visitor cards with a fixed expiry date.

Yes, if delayed/disrupted you are free to take a reasonable alternative. On DB this happens alot so they are well used to it.

They aren't showing as sold out for cars though, they keep separate allocations with priority to the higher yield freight and passenger cars. I wouldn't reccomend it but I suspect that if you showed up you would probably be accommodated, it certainly was the practice in the past that extra foot...

But the panels aren't white and that is a major part of the problem. First were allowed vomit their corporate pastel shades all over the interiors at the last refurb, even down to adding blue scale tint to the windows, so the whole coach has a horrible purple/blue effect which the cold lighting...

Interrailers and single/couple tourists in general are pretty safe targets to hassle with little fear of getting your head kicked in, no doubt they would be less bullish with a gang of beer swilling young men. 1711886490 That is a very poor response from Interrail to what sounds suspiciously...

Many UK companies do geo restrict apps, it is a really stupid and irritating practice. It is Google Android/Apple that are mostly to blame, it should be simple to just swap countries or just select which country app to install but they make it near impossible.

Made the same journey last week and had no such issue, just got grunted at by the guard after a long scan of the passes. He spent the best part of an hour checking two carriages, seemingly taking money off numerous passengers and the last 20 minutes into Milan was an ongoing argument with an...

Unless there is something you aren't mentioning then sailrail tickets will likely be cheaper as they are little more than the normal ferry foot passenger fares.

Airlink no longer exits, it never restarted after covid. The only buses the visitor leap card is valid on from the airport to the city are the 41 and 16 routes, 41 is more direct. Dublin Express (National Express) and Aircoach (First) are the current express bus operators.
