Bad train experience Hi Everyone, Has this happened to anyone else? We went to Strasbourg for the day from Basel and bought our tickets at the counter without any issues. On our way back, we tried using the self-help ticket machines, but we couldn’t understand them. So, we decided to purchase our tickets through Rail Europe because we were running out of time and we…

How do I find train tracks? Hello, my school’s photography competition theme is “track” as in train tracks, and I was wondering how I would be able to find train tracks facing East.

Train from Milan to Bologna? Maybe an odd question but… I’ve never traveled in Europe before. I’m debating between flying from NYC to Bologna with a 1 stop connecting flight. This is 10 hours of travel for $1,400 one way. Or, flying direct into Milan and then getting a first class train ticket from Milan to Bologna. This would be around 9 hours of travel and $1,350 one wa…

Venice-Munich(direct train) or Venice-Villach-Salzburg-Munich train -> how different are the views? I was planning to take the Venice-Munich direct day train and I heard people say the views are amazing. However, prices are significantly more expensive (double) than the Venice-Villach-Salzburg-Munich (2 transfers) route. How similar/different are the views between these routes? Does the Venice-Village-Salzburg-Munich route also have nice view…

Train strike in Italy We are traveling to Italy for the first time. There is supposedly a train strike for both private and public trains on October 20 when we need to ride from Rome (at 9:25 am) to Naples. I’m having a very hard time figuring out if our train will actually run. The website Italiarail allowed us to buy a ticket despite the strike but I’m concerned si…

FRA to Koln train – how much time to allow from flight landing to train departure? Hello, I need to get from FRA airport to Koln Hbf in December. I have the DB Navigator app and notice the price of tickets skyrocket when trying to buy them last minute.

Flying vs taking train from Spain to France (no train experience, little travel experience) End of October I am deciding whether to take a train with 3 changes from Spain to France or to pay for a flight. Train is cheaper and I’ve never done a “real” train ride (or used one by myself) so I’d love to, but I don’t know how to use the train and my anxiety is telling me I’ll miss my connecting rides. What is the railway system like in Euro…

Airline vs Train cancellations I’ve been reading a lot of stories on Reddit about flight cancellations due to weather issues. I haven’t been reading similar stories about train cancellations. It appears that trains are more resilient than planes. But that could be the stories that cross my feed. Is there any real data on whether planes or trains are more likely to be cancelle…
