    1st class travel and weekend service

    I cant find any info if the 1st class service on the TGV and Italian railways are restricted on the weekend like in the UK. Eg, there's no food on a weekend first.

    Interesting. Is there fast track at Paris CDG too?

    Eurostar Business Premier?

    Is Business Premier worth it to have fast track? there always seems a massive queue at St Pancras or Standard passengers, but the Business premier is empty!

    Best website for EU train bookings?

    Did a quick search on loco2.com and trainline.eu from Paris - Milan. Trainline is EUR173 (£148) and loco2 is £152 for exactly the same train. Are they usually different?

    Mumbai: Worlds Busiest Railways...

    Just watched the last episode. I had a few Indian collegues come over to London once. The lady did not want to travel on the tube as it was culturally unacceptable for her to be so close to men. I'm sure the metal detectors and bag scanners dont look like they are being used? It's funny how...

    Mumbai: Worlds Busiest Railways...

    The part about the rioting was interesting. It's a shame south Londoners don't riot when the train service is screwed! It seems to me that the Indian railways are much more focused on generating money for Mumbai, then here were TOCs are more focused on generating money for themselves.

    Mumbai: Worlds Busiest Railways...

    Just saw the section on train drivers. This one driver had 25-30 one-unders happen to him in 12 years! I wonder how they cope. I wonder when they hit someone the lines are closed like in the UK? They dont seem to have any uniforms or ID.

    Mumbai: Worlds Busiest Railways...

    Watching the 1st episode. I dont think it is more awful then here. They were only on for 15 mins. I've been on a train like that here for 2 hours. So a fine with £2.50 and a monthly standard ticket is £2.15. A lot better then we have here! There also seems to be more trains as they are 40 secs...

    BOXING DAY TV - SHINKANSEN - Japanese Bullet Trains.

    fascinating! I like the track engineer's quote "1000s of people's lives depend on us finishing on time". You would never get anyone from NR or a TOC saying that, it'll just be "if we make you late, tough luck".
