Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

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

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.
