I have made the journey many times and indeed will be in again in a couple of weeks. I prefer travelling via Munich or Zurich for the overnight train depending on availability. Both are accessible via a single change in Paris, are pleasant journeys and you will arrive at Keleti station the next...

401 and 404 were the last two at GN which were withdrawn at the weekend. 403 is also still at Hornsey but hasn't moved since November so may need some serious work.

Cheers Gordon No idea where I got Belgrade from (shame it doesn't go through mind), must have been looking at an old schedule. Those train numbers you quoted does show a consist on Wagonweb which shows the coaches from Zurich to Zagreb as Croatian sleepers which from experience are...

Evening all In November, I am looking at taking the train from London through to Ljubijana in Slovenia. Obviously, I know the timetable is subject to change over the months but it seems as if the route suggested by Seat 61 and bahn.de is to go via Munich and take the sleeper which arrives at...

1R45 is booked 8/317 and 1R49 is 8/365 For info, the last two 321's (401 & 404) are now withdrawn and are being prepared for pastures new. As it stands, there are only 4 BOOKED 317 diagrams left however all 12 units are still officially GTR's (347 and 348 are away at Ilford on works at...

Two sets of 8/321's ran in service today, 404 and 406 which went back to Hornsey this morning after covering for 387's due to a lack of crew knowledge, the afternoon diagrams were formed of 8/387 which for the first time are booked to berth at Cambridge Carriage Sidings for tomorrow morning...

313's cannot go beyond Royston without the conductor shoes being removed.

That looks like a very interesting service, however I confess to be a FIP user so a single berth on the Jan Kiepura was about £90 I think with a DB and PKP coupon. I just had a quick look at the same on the Russian service from Paris (which I believe is barred to coupons) and a single berth was...

Very sad! Used this many times as a gateway to Minsk, Vilnius and Krakow because it had a sensible arrival time in Warsaw. I take it the only option to Warsaw now is going via Berlin?

It was switched off between Downham Market and Kings Lynn for repairs for a few weeks last year. The system is now fully operational. Its very rare, the last time that I know of was over Christmas due to a number of 365's being out of traffic.

317340 paid a visit to Kings Lynn today working 1T14 (21:10 CBG-KLN) and 2T67 (22:32 KLN-KGX) as far as Cambridge.

When I came back from Budapest to Munich, I paid the €15 supplement to sit in business from the MÁV conductor without a problem.

Letchworth may very well see them as well.
