Hi,

I'm planning to visit England and France in mid April.

I can't for the life of me, figure out the info on the transit websites! If anyone is familiar with the railways in Europe, I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me how to book a ticket from London to Birmingham to Paris (stopover in Birmingham of 2 days or so). Thanks!

Emma, have you tried the Rail Europe site?

It seems you will have to pick a round trip from London Paddington to Birmingham, travel from Paddington to Waterloo on the return, for the trip to Paris on the Eurostar. Punch in your dates, but make the reservations separate. Don't even try to combine Birmingham and Paris on the same ticket. This web site also gives phone numbers for help.

Have a nice day flying United!
