    Stena Line sailing in gale force winds?

    It wont be the wind so much as the sea state generated by said wind that they'll be concerned about. Phrases such as Very rough or High used to describe the Sea State (they all have specific meanings) should be watched for. Having said that, high winds alone could impact docking operations if...

    The Cologne Connection

    In wishing to draw on the collective forum wisdom, how much faith should I put in an 11 minute connection at Cologne Hbf suggested in a ticket itinerary (single ticket Brussels Midi to Villach Hbf) between "National Express #1" 22:51 Aachen Hbf - 23:44 Cologne Hbf and ICE #619 23:55 Cologne Hbf...

    Planning a trip for February 2024 and have noticed that the Latour and Lourdes sleepers - that were running as one train to Toulouse when I caught it earlier this year - are now separate departures from G. d'Austerlitz. Is this now a permanent thing as the Lourdes portion is shown as stopping at...
