Judging from how the free transport are given out also to event ticketholders, it seems to be easy/cheap for hotels to offer full VRR validity in this area. But not generally the chain hotels I think, just Intercity, and small mom and pop outfits which may not have much Internet presence.

Following a thread from 2017, there are 40 IntercityHotels and this is what has been established so far. Can anyone fill in the gaps? Amsterdam Hoofddorp----- Augsburg --------------------- Berlin Hauptbahnhof ---------- zones ABC Berlin Ostbahnhof ------------ zones ABC Berlin Brandenburg...

So equally a leisure train trip from Leeds to York could result in a Fixed Penalty Notice?

How should one answer this? I would be stumped in the heat of the moment.

Journalist Dominic Lawson posted this experience from a Southeastern train: "So I got up from my seat and suggested to the two railwaymen that perhaps they should follow the instructions given to their passengers and consider setting an example. This did not go down well. The larger of them, a...

Masks are probably not 100% efficient even when worn correctly, but one of a range of useful measures

Iceland has attributed 100 infections to two bars that 2 French tourists visited. The thinking seems to be that lack of ventilation caused aerosols to linger in the air. A bus is a similar-sized environment to a small bar so I think that open windows is a good idea, as well as other measures...

That's right. As winter approaches, people will be worried about being cold, but maximum ventilation seems more important.

Having almost argued with a fellow passenger about keeping the windows open, I wonder whether bus companies should take the choice out of the passengers' hands and just lock them open?

I have just seen that a Paris metro accident happened 20 years ago at Notre Dame de Lorette. From what I have been able to find online, speed seems to have been the reason, travelling at 70km/h. Is this something that could happen today...

Thank you, not yet but I might do in future.

I guess it depends on how busy the interchange station is

Thank you. Dr Shengjie Lai of University of Southampton was studying transmission of COVID on trains and found that: "a safe social distance of more than one metre is required for one hour spent travelling together. After two hours of contact...less than 2.5 metres may be insufficient to...

Is there a journey planner that allows the user to specify a maximum leg time? eg. passenger wants to spend less than one hour at a time on a train, so a journey query for Manchester to Birmingham would return a change at Stoke, for example. The reason could be toilet breaks, anxiety, or...

The Harwich ferry has a train+ferry ticket from London to Amsterdam Are there any other train+ferry tickets available leaving the UK? I think there used to be a National Express Dover ferry deal but that might have ended. Thanks

Given that air con can circulate the virus, is there is any advantage to choosing an outside cabin on overnight ferries? I am thinking of the Harwich and Hull routes.

This feature is on 100k apps! I had had no idea it was so widespread, clearly Trainsplit is doing nothing out of the ordinary: The above is from https://medium.com/macoclock/apple-is-killing-a-billion-dollar-ad-industry-with-one-popup-2f83d182837f

I agree, it wasn't a good example!

Apparently they create shadow profiles for everyone. The average Facebook user will consent to sharing their phone contact list and email account with Facebook, and from that they can build a database of everyone. There are examples of lawyers and their clients being suggested to each other...

Amazing to see Trainline getting recommended for something! Can you also get cashback when using the app? Am I right in thinking that Trainline will also split tickets but not as well as Trainsplit?
