@seatsixtyone.bsky.social@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialAlways get a kick out of seeing this, between Peterborough & Grantham!
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialFriendly and efficient crew on the 08:10 KGX-LDS here! And that breakfast frittata was just right…
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialI’m on a flexible Super Off Peak, but for the first time tried Seatfrog - and successfully upgraded to 1st class, £20 northbound, £18 coming back. Result…
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialYaaawwnnn... Sorry, 5am start this morning! On my way to the Yorkshire dales to give a talk.
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialAbu Dhabi to Dubai by train, anyone?
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialBudapest-Belgrade trains now expected to start ‘December’… dailynewshungary.com/budapest-bel...
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialProbably not as it’ll be under a single Eurostar booking reference. Staff may be able to amend, try E* customer services (identify the 6 alpha numeric E* reference in your booking first)
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialLook what European Sleeper's website can do now! 🥳👇 Mind you, they're being even more cautious with the Eurostar connection than I'd be...
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialSeat reservation free. Seat choice €2.
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialOh dear. Time to stick with €2 for any choice of seat at Trenitalia?
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialNo wonder the infamous Renfe.com needs the upgrade! “The current system is based on almost 400 interconnected applications, many of them programmed in obsolete languages and having been in service for between 20 and 30 years”
@seatsixtyone.bsky.socialThese new trains are about to enter service from Zagreb to Split. Are those first class seats as comfortable as they look? Well worth the €30 1st class fare!
