Once I had it, it took 27 minutes GdN to GdL. I’d forgotten how much walking is involved at RER/metro stations. Train itself only took 8 minutes I think.

Anyone got Views on Marseille? I read a thing - possibly in a paper, possibly in a travel mag - about it being the new best city in the world.

I’ve never been, but always understood it to be a shithole.

I've been to Marseille, a city of two halves i would say, some very nice, lovely shops and restaurants, marina etc.
The other part serious shithole, avoid at all costs.

Oh both! That’s a good answer, thanks Matt.

Weirdly, you could say the same thing in a much smaller scale about Ipswich.

It’s an unfortunate URL. I can confirm they are Planet Rail, not Plane Trail as I’d feared.

About This Thread

Maintained by Diogenes
What are the best sites for finding flights, trains and accommodation, especially overseas.

In the UK I usually try and book directly with the business, if possible as you get the best rate that way.

I feel like Simon Calder... that's a good idea, I bet he has a website.
