    Thank you for all those suggestions. We are looking to travel somewhere new, hence the list of places. We have visited Portugal, Poland etc before. We did a trip around Denmark Norway and Sweden, but not yet Finland.

    Last year I spent a long weekend in Czechia visiting some fantastic scenic rail lines. I got lots of great recommendations from this forum. I'm planning a similar trip this year (June) and would love recommendations for where to go next. Can anyone make a recommendation based on scenic...

    Czechia scenic rail lines

    Thanks for all the advice, I'm on the trip and it's going very well. We did the return KZC trip to Tynec na Sazavou this morning, which was excellent. I'm now at Rakovnik, headed for Beroun. We've been to Cheb and Most this afternoon. Yesterday we went up and down each bank of the Elbe, as well...

    Czechia scenic rail lines

    My trip is coming up in a week. Thanks for all the help above. I'm thinking of doing two KZC trips on Saturday: Prague to Tynec na Sazavou at 07:39 then the trip from Kralovice u Rakovnika - Prague at 15:19. Is the trip to Dobris also worth doing in between? Cheers

    Services North from London on 3 June

    Hi, I'm arriving at St Pancras from Paris with my family on the morning of 3 June. Are there likely to be any services at all running to the West Mids that day? I can see that on last Saturday, there were still some services running from Euston.

    Czechia scenic rail lines

    Thank you very much for all this. I've got my map out and I'm marking all these possible routes. I'm struggling a bit with the KZC website. I think I've found the weekend service to Rakonik which leaves Prague at 09:17. But I can't find a service to Cercany (via Skochovice?) Would it be...

    Marston Vale line suspension over - FULL services start running 19/02/24

    They are pretty agricultural units (I have one in my Ranger) and have been dropped from the lineup now, in favour of more modern 4 cylinder 2.0 engines.

    Czechia scenic rail lines

    Thank you all, I will research these suggestions. I don't care about motive power, but always happy to travel in relative comfort (dining cars a plus)! I'm arriving in Prague on a Thursday evening, then due to travel to Vienna on the Sunday afternoon.

    Good morning, I will be spending a few days in Czechia in June. Can anyone recommend some scenic rail lines to visit? Anywhere in the country, I don't mind. Thanks.

    Saturdays on the railway in general

    My personal experience of travelling from Coventry to London on Saturday with Avanti (1st class). Obviously the reduced timetable was published late. 09:30 and 09:50 cancelled. 10:30 turns up already full and standing (not surprising). 1st class declassified. Staff stuck in the crew...

    Coventry - Norwich this weekend

    Is it possible to buy a return ticket which allows me to go outbound via Peterborough and return via London? I would like to take the 16:17 outbound on Saturday and then return Sunday morning. 1 Adult 1 Child with F&F railcard. The best I can find online is 2 single tickets for £150.

    What travel restrictions change from the 29th March?

    I presume staying overnight in second homes must be permitted.

    Maybe I should have, but I didn't want to cause a scene.
