    Marseille Local Transport 16/17 March

    On the 16th of March the metro will run normally in the evenings (there are engineering works on weekdays, the full calendar is available at https://www.rtm.fr/bus-relais-m1m2 ), so I think the trip planner is not yet fully loaded and you will be fine.

    Cardiff to Quimperlé

    If I was in your situation I would fly easyJet Bristol to Nantes (three flights per week in the summer), then a train from Nantes to Quimperlé (three or four per day except on Sundays). Nantes is a nice place to visit for a stopover. On Thursdays it can be done in one day, on Mondays and...

    Netherlands Public Transport Help Please

    For any train/tram/bus/metro in NL, no need to buy tickets any more (not taking into account any FIP coupon specifics here), you can simply touch in and touch out with a contactless credit card. The amount charged takes connections into account.

    Paris Métro stock

    It's difficult to say as of now as it depends on the acceptance and introduction in service of the MP14 stock. At the moment there are 9 MP59 in service (not 8 as I said previously) with 4 or 5 trains running simultaneously. They have been fitted with wind-shield wipers in prevision for the...

    Paris Métro stock

    You should be good on both lines. M6 is still mostly MP73, M11 is mostly MP14 with 8 MP59 remaining which should run well into 2024.

    The Guardian ‘tests’ the French rail network

    To be fair the line is currently closed between the peaks for engineering works, outside this period there is a mid-day train running.

    Cheapest SNCF Tickets for July 2023

    Sales for the summer months have opened this week and usually tend to increase from now. I regularly book TGV tickets in bulk right after sales open and it is usually surprising that even with these early fares there can be a big difference in prices (from 30 to 85€) on the same train but on...

    How can I check the standard (walk up) fare of a certain flight?

    Welcome to the complex world of airline ticketing! Air fares are divided in classes which are identified with a letter. Each class has a specific availability, fare and fare conditions. For instance, on British Airways, for economy class, the fare classes are: Q, O, G, V, S, N, M, L, K, H, B...

    Intercités de Nuit

    It has been scheduled as running on Fridays (ICN 3737, Paris Austerlitz 2114 - Port-Bou 0926) in 2022 as per info on a French-speaking forum. The night trains are affected by engineering works and can be confirmed and released on sale quite late (up to two weeks to departure in extreme cases)...

    SNCF actual train times

    I'm not sure whether it will work with an Air + Rail ticket, but you try checking the delay compensation page: https://garantie30minutes.sncf.com/?lang=en&canal=SNCF which indicates the actual delay after entering PNR and last name.

    Modern Railways: LNER and compulsory reservations

    In France, these situations happen more and more often at busy times. Below is a message that says "all trains departing today are full, sales and exchanges are impossible" that was displayed for three days straight in the front of the ticket office in Marseille in Feb 2020 during the school...

    Other (non UK) countries approach to easing lockdown

    Some news from France... The lockdown will start to be eased down from next Monday (May, 11th). There are "green" and "red" regions depending on the number of active COVID-19 cases but with limited differences in policy, mainly on the schedule by which schools and parks will reopen. Free...

    OpenTTD

    FIRS3 is the latest version. FIRS2 is still available in cases where other GRFs are not compatible with FIRS3 (for example the CFF/SBB train set [which I recommend by the way]). I can't find SQUID any more either, it can be downloaded here...

    On TER services break-of-journey is permitted, providing the total trip length does not exceed 24 hours. The ticket should be stamped again at each intermediate station.
