Following in the footsteps of Johnathon Harker, we are heading to "the midst of the Carpathian mountains; one of the wildest and least known portions of Europe." - aided by #seat61! First off, the Eurostar to Paris for two nights.

Coincidence?

I have taken 8 trains through Europe in the past 10 days, in Switzerland, France, Belgium, travelling between Italy and UK. Every one ran on time.

In UK, half the trains I caught were late. Looking at you #ThamesLink, #Avanti & #LNER.

I'm in #Seat61 on the #Eurostar!

@BritalianVal @red_tin_dave Love that #traintravel is finally getting more traction & coverage these days (it's about *time*!) ~ & #TheManInSeat61 is here on Mastodon already! ➡ @seatsixtyone 🙌🏽🚂💨

Now, for more subsidies.. 😉👌🏽💸

Someone hasn't caught up with minimum #Eurostar check-in now being 45 minutes, not 30! On #seat61 I'm now allowing minimum 2h between trains in Paris northbound towards London, yet online systems are still allowing 1h30, as if nothing had changed.
