  • London’s Heathrow Express to be axed?

    May 13, 2026, 06:32 PM

    I don't want to repeat points already made but I will add the following. The HEX hasn't been as good since the 'old' trains were scrapped. The current rolling stock is far inferior. HEX on-board staff are always top notch. Never seen a member of staff on an Elizabeth Line service. More thought ne...

  • Eurostar to join SkyTeam this year

    Jan 10, 2026, 03:34 AM

    I am curious - isn't there a conflict given Virgin Atlantic is a SkyTeam member and Virgin Trains has recently announced plans to compete with Eurostar? RC

  • Opinion: Why airlines must ban inflight video calls

    Nov 29, 2025, 04:08 AM

    Trains are just hell now and, even in the quiet zone (if there is one), there are people just like JTG who think a 'quick call' is okay. Please, please, please ban speakers (not just calls) full stop. RC

  • Zurich Hotels

    Jun 16, 2019, 09:24 PM

    The Krone Unterstrass (as recommended above) is my favourite hotel in Zurich. It's easy to get too (as is everywhere in Zurich) by public transport. From the main station catch tram 11 or 14 (Bahnhofquai platforms, far platform for both) to Kronenstrasse (the stop is outside the hotel) - very fr...

  • 36 hours in Munich - suggestions?

    Feb 22, 2019, 03:30 PM

    Buy a day ticket (easy to do from the machines - there's an English menu), then you can wander at your leisure on the tram, buses, underground, etc. And it's dead cheap.https://www.mvv-muenchen.de/en/tickets-and-fares/tickets-daytickets/single-day-ticket/index.html
