cheers! :)

Cheers Beermaddavep & 30907, I'll see if I can get some of that past Mrs Mouse!! :)

I see, but a loco is a loco I suppose. Unit wise some of their stuff looks ok, even those modern 2 car yellow things. I saw a few of those 810 things in Slovakia and to be honest I thought they looked ok (but I've never travelled on one admittedly). Also I think I will try and hunt down a couple...

cheers, that looks much better than the ZSSK locals, and is that "Google box"? looks hellfire. I've found this site actually - http://www.vagonweb.cz/razeni/ which brings up the type of unit or stock but not loco type. It seems the outward journey I would like to make is loco hauled but the...

Hmm I think that's settled it, but the Czech museum is pretty unfamiliar but I think the Mrs will not be impressed with the ancient, decrepid CD local train (assuming its just as grim as its ZSSK equivilents) still would like to hear of any CD museum experiences

Myself and Mrs Mouse have got two short breaks coming up, one to Denmark and one to the Czech Republic. As part of the trips I would like to get some railway action and would like to see the respective Railway Museums, however considering the Mrs is not really a fan of railways I would like...

ach I doubt that would happen!

That would be epic, even if I was just to go as far as Tehran....

Cheers mate, thats really helpful! appreciated

Just a question really, can anybody remember a documentary on China Railway in the late 80's. It was presented by a lady who's Father had something to do with the Birmingham Railway Centre (?). I really would like to see it again but as I don't know its name, the person who presented its name or...

Thats good to know, might get a trip on Le Shuttle yet! :) Cheers!

Hmm might change my plans and do that! :D

hey, thats an idea! :lol: --- old post above --- --- new post below --- any good bike hire shops in Folkestone? :lol:

Alarmed at how much is being passed over to units (abet in a much slower way). Before I got married I did a few trips abroad, France, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Holland etc etc but married life has more or less reduced me to a couple of day trips a year. The last couple of times I went to...

They still have loco haulage in Boulogne?? Wow, I might try to have a spin on that if I've time :) My French is shocking, I can only ask for a beer haha The timings I got, searching a random weekday was arriving at Frethun at 14.59 from London and waiting till 16.38 to Calais Ville. The...

Checking the timetable (via DB's journey planner) its a lengthy wait off the 12.58 ex London and connecting onto the 21.01 ex Frethun. The connections to Boulogne look much better so I might do Boulogne instead of Calais. It also looks possible to have a reasonable time going to Boulogne first...

Is there any form of catering on the bus too? Incidently if you are a coach passenger can you buy a brew on Le Shuttle itself?

looking at their website the SNCF logo appears on the back, wonder if there is any FIP concession! I've looked at the prices on a random date and being resonable I've seen cheaper on Eurolines that would cater for Dover to Calais journey as opposed as London to say, Lille. I'll certainly save...

Hmm that sounds promising :)

so in that case I'll probably be better of sticking to my FIP Eurostar fares, pity as I fancy bashing Le Shuttle but not being able to drive is just a slight barrier :lol:
