    Fly Atlantic - New Airline to launch TransAtlantic flights from Belfast

    Personal opinion but not sure it will happen. Transatlantic services from Belfast have an issue and that is that Dublin with lots of choices of destinations is just 100 miles down the road. Google maps suggest that it takes 1 hr 40 to drive that, well thats what it take me to drive from...

    Norwich to Basingstoke service

    I know that feeling. Years ago I had a collection of timetables but of course I left home and mothers do what mothers do..they all went in a skip. Spent a lot of time and some money trying to rebuild my collection. :D

    End of the line for Paris’ iconic metro ticket

    I was in Paris a few days ago and went to get a Navigo easy card with 10 journeys. The actual card is not available from the machine but I believe it can be topped up at a machine. At Gare de Lyon there were two RAPT staff standing at the start of the queue and only when they though passengers...

    Class 108 routes, Liveries and other DMU's

    Hi (Introduction...skip if you are short on time) I should start of by saying that I know next to nothing about rail infrastructure and the railway industry. I used to work in the airline industry and have been an airline geek for 40+ years. However over the past few years the airline...

    Couple of observations from my travels

    Big subject and difficult to understand unless you have lived in Northern Ireland. Britain isn't a country its the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. So its a bit like saying I don't understand why Britain didn't withdraw from Wales or Scotland or even England! I grew up...

    ICE trains to St Pancras?

    It depends on where you live. KLM operated flights from lots of UK regional airports to Amsterdam, in some cases airports that don't have connections to Heathrow. Fares change all the time, but often from places like MAN, GLA, EDI they are often cheaper than BA via LHR. For a while they charged...

    Eurostar ski trains Winter 22/23

    I "guess" TravelSki are effectively paying Eurostar to operate the service and then selling the seats themselves. Kind of like a package holiday charter. Eurostar therefore have no risk if the seats don't sell.

    Why are French trains so poor?

    I guess its down to personal experience. My nearest station is at Montbard. From time to time I use the TGV up to Paris. Journey time is one hour and there are I think four services a day each direction. There is also a service that goes to CDG and Lille. Plus a train to Mulhouse. TGV tends...
