Mark’s Adventures by Rail

The Writing, or at least the Drawing, is on the Wall A trip to London by train for family business and to see an exhibition of Banksy street art

I didn’t realise that there could be such a thing as a Banksy exhibition: www.mwtrips.co.uk/2025/10/the-...

Le train de nuit Paris-Berlin abandonné par la SNCF va être relancé par une coopérative belgo-néerlandaise European Sleeper compte ouvrir les réservations le 16 décembre et démarrer l’exploitation de la ligne entre les capitales française et allemande le 26 mars 2026.

Take that, SNCF! 🤣

There are hurdles - doing it by then isn’t simple - but this can happen.

Got this today from Cross Country trains. 1: I am not ex-services and 2: there are no trains to or from my local station on Sunday morning anyway. But there is a war memorial and I'll walk to it for the ceremony at 11:00.

A genuine treat for £1.60? Try the shortest railway line in Britain | Adrian Chiles There is an even shorter route in Germany, but that runs less frequently - which gives the shuttle train in my home town the moral victory

Oh dear. Understandable but such a pity.

Ah ….

Different Ways to and from Lincoln Tours and adventures by train. Long and short railway journeys in Britain and Europe describing varied scenery and Uk and EU destinations.

That is one option I sometimes use: www.mwtrips.co.uk/2022/03/diff.... I do not start from London, though, and the train does stop on the way. Peterborough is my usual joining point for trains to Lincoln.

London?

Hmm. I seem to be flooded by US politics here now as well as the other place. There must be some escape somewhere… 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Oo er, can I still use those flags? 😬🤷🏼‍♂️

Stayed at the Doubletree once. Good. But usually I need to be near the Cathedral.

The Lincolnshire Show Tours and adventures by train. Long and short railway journeys in Britain and Europe describing varied scenery and Uk and EU destinations.

Lincoln is an easy day trip for me! I only stay there when I need to be there two or three days running. Why? I tend to stay uphill, but the Premier Inn downhill looks good, and handy for the station. www.mwtrips.co.uk/2025/08/the-...

Now that’s interesting. Next time I go to Lincoln I‘ll see how I get on.

I can charge mine OK … so long as I don’t also want to use it 😬

Cautious optimism it seems.

Paris to Wien and Berlin night trains to end after French government withdraws subsidy EUROPE: The Paris - Wien and Paris - Berlin sleeper train services are to end with the December 14 2025 timetable change, following the French Ministry of Transport's decision to withdraw funding for their operation.

"EU rules make it complicated to finance international rail routes, while aviation ‘enjoys tax exemptions that amount to a hidden subsidy of €30–40 per plane ticket'."
