This headline is how I felt when I saw another consultation announced for Great British Rail. The government is the dog from the burning room "This is fine" meme, releasing another consultation while performance & industry workbank burns to the ground. www.railfreight.com/railfreight/...

Yes, Swiss trains are reilable - with infrastructure maintenance that actually stops it from deteriorating. However, what stands out most to me is 98.7% of connections made. Do you know what ours is in the UK? No nor to I, and that is part of our problem. www.swissinfo.ch/eng/various/...

A quick leap across Paris takes us to Gare De Lyon.
Now it's onwards to Basel SBB
A change of scenery for this interRail.
Mainly due to the passholders fares to Brussels being sold out..
