Same with ÖBB’s Railjets (in all other respects one of the most comfortable and well appointed of any European train).

I'm in South Lincs and the road outside my house is completely underwater. I hate to think what it's like further east onto the Fens.

Although I’d support this, I would suggest this is the least realistic of any of the suggestions on here :D

There’s quite a bit of Swedish and Wagons-Lits stock at the NVR.

Portsmouth - St Malo is another one for those who enjoy dramatic port departures and arrivals. Travelling with Brittany Ferries is always enjoyable too.

I enjoyed Lausanne - Evian back in the late 90s when the onward trains from Evian were a completely random assortment of ancient dark green UIC and USI stock.

Unfortunately they are still worked by 700s even when they terminate at KX.

It’s a slightly odd suggestion but what about Lower Sydenham? It’s surrounded by a surprisingly industrial area for an outer London suburb and a fair hike from anything residential.

I guess I was lucky to escape all of this… was on the 1600 from Edinburgh and arrived bang on time in Peterborough after an exemplary run!

I was just excited to actually get a seat in the Lowland club car!

I know this is an old thread but last night the whiskies ranged from £10-£12.

Nunhead - Brockley is another one that's about 15 minutes' walk but not straightforward by rail.

Another vote for Lewes here. Stamford is pretty attractive too.

Were these ELGAR tickets or am I conflating two things?

CAF are a Basque company so how about “Ekialdea”?
