1. Was in London in November 2010. Would love to go once more though

    In the end we went by plane, because that was cheaper, but all in all the train would have been faster.

    There are good deals to be found for train tickets, but then you'd have to plan your trip around them instead of the other way around
  2. Yeah, you can get some strange bargains on the train. For example, from Manchester to Dover it's £374 return. But Manchester > London > Dover > London > Manchester is sub £75. Madness.

    Me and my brother are planning on a rail journey to France next month via Eurostar, going to cost around £80 in total to get there and back.
  3. Sounds like heaps of fun. I was about to do a train trip last summer as well, but friends couldnt get off from work

    My topic was a place in which I asked general questions about Dublin and also a lot of questions regarding U2, their landmarks, etc etc. Now, how do London or Rome relate to U2? No, I mean, how does any aspect of the TRIP between London and Rome relate to U2?

    You know, there's a topic named the 'General Travelling Topic'.
  7. Well it's in Your Blue Room (Talk here about anything you like, non-U2 related!) now, so we can all sleep peacefully tonight. I did wake up this morning in a fluster and didn't quite understand why, now I realise it was because this topic was created.
  8. Its there because I moved it earlier (Something Sergio could have done as well ) Anyway, really offtopic. So lets help the topic starter if we can.

    On that note, I'd like to refer the topic starter to my earlier post:

    Obviously the first step is Eurostar to Paris, set you back £59 if you book before January 23rd. Then the next step is a train from Paris to Rome, using the website posted in the first reply, you can find that information out easily. Tomorrow I found a train, leaves Paris at 07:49 and arrives in Rome at 18:59. It's an 11 hour journey and has only one change (Milan), which isn't bad. Problem is the expense, £134 outbound and £98 return. Obviously that's for a booking tomorrow. Obviously I don't know when you're travelling.

    EDIT: Also available on the raileurope.co.uk website are rail passes, a global pass which allows 5 days travel within 10 days of purchase is £245.
