This is exactly the kind of thing that needs to be discussed.

Personally, I think it should be in the European Forum as Eurostar travel always straddles at least two European countries. But posters have different ideas – hence the problem of trying to keep track of them all. But the proposed way to pull together rail questions in one part of FT, would splinter them in others.

Rail travel isn’t like taking a cruise.... not even a bit. I use a rail system almost everyday, and rely on trains when abroad. I don’t see rail travel as a optional ‘add on’ but as a vital and integral part of travelling.
