    Helsinki visit

    I don't know if you like steam haulage, but when I was in Helsinki some years ago, there was a regular Steam service from the main station that lasted for a couple of hours into the countryside, it was very good. Not sure if it still runs. You can no doubt Google it to find out.

    San Francisco Trams etc

    I would suggest that you get something to eat and or drink from a shop / supermarket before boarding just in case. You may need to bring a cup or glass etc for any drinks that you may buy.

    Eurostar London - Amsterdam suspended until 2028? Is this just clickbait?

    This is good news, am I correct in assuming tat Eurostar London Services will use platform 15 / Amstelpassage, not only during the reconstruction at Amsterdam Centraal but also will remain there after reconstruction, or will it and Thalys then move over to Amsfetrdam Zuid ?
