Is roughly around zero degrees a "bitter winter"? It's a common misconception when people think winters in Poland are almost like those in Siberia. In fact it's not much different to the UK, maybe less rainy days but more wet snow than proper snow which nowadays only happens once or twice...

AFAIK the first one is 0531 Wimbledon - Waterloo.

Calendar, it ended yesterday so I expect more will be known after this weekend. However nothing is certain as it is a MINIMUM 10 days period.

Who knows, it is Stagecoach South Western Trains Ltd atm and the brand has word "West" not "Western" so they might come up with a small variation as well.

As an SWT employee I hope both the name LSWR and the logo are fake. The latter because it's a graphically incorrect copy of GWR and the former because it's simply too long in my opinion, although I can see why many would like it and how it might feel kind of sentimental. I would prefer something...

Long time no see :D Thanks everyone for your input and some really interesting ideas. Can anyone advise about the best ticket options for the following journeys: Friday evening - Cologne to Dusseldorf (or Cologne-Leverkusen-Dusseldorf to drop luggage in the hotel outside Leverkusen Mitte...

This might be very helpful, many thanks Polrail!

Thanks for your input, everyone. @johnnychips - what you said about Barcelona is exactly the reason why I am not planning to see top teams. @Gemz - I have seen it and indeed it gives good ideas of interesting places, especially about unknown teams with beautifully located stadiums. When I...

I am looking for someone interested in travelling by train to see some football matches abroad. I would like to go from time to time, say once every few months, to see 2-3 good games in one weekend, have some local food and drinks, bit of sightseeing etc. and make a good use of my coupons and...

Just confirmed by SNCB - coupons/FIP can be used, but don't cover Diabolo supplement, so the cheapest option is 5.14 euro + free coupons.

That's what I suspect as well but either way I will post info here once I get a response from SNCB.

Thank you, not bad for a bus so I will keep this in mind as a plan B. Has anyone here ever travelled by train from the airport using their FIP facilities? I know it's valid but I just wonder whether there is any supplement to pay (and how much) if you use your coupons.

Thanks Wolfie, will check other options then.

Does anyone know whether the 24 hour ticket (train/bus/tram) to travel around Brussels includes the train journey from the airport to city centre?

@duncanp: Why would the guard not want to sell FIP tickets? Travel myself to France soon so just trying to prepare for any difficulties.

Polrail - your efforts are much appreciated, thank you. I assume you are a well established company within Polish Railways industry so would you be able to try and prompt KM (and others where necessary) to update their info and add FIP to the 'accepted' list? That could help a lot of people in...

When travelling on KM (local services around Warsaw) keep in mind two things: 1) When I travelled in 2014 the guard was not aware that the FIP discounts/coupons apply on their services (or just ripped me off?) and said "it's only for Intercity" etc. I wasn't 100% sure and it was still cheap for...

What I would like to see in the (as near as possible) future is: 1) SWT to take over North Down line to serve Reading-Gatwick, although not sure where the trains for this could be stabled/maintained. 2) Introducing Alton-Guildford direct service 2tph to relieve A31 and A331. Especially...

Be patient, the SWT recruitment is very slow. BTW, which role have you applied for?
