"There's more to travel than the destination. It used to be called a j o u r n e y ..." Not only is the philosophy appealing, but Mark Smith's award-winning website dedicated to international rail travel makes it all so much easier if you plan to travel to Europe from the UK. He gives routes and prices, tells you where to get your discounts, shows you your alternatives on maps, in other words, holds your hand as you go through your railway trip planning process as only a career railwayman could. Fares to Spain from London "start at £59 return for the Eurostar plus £59.50 each way for the trainhotel with a bed in a 4-bed tourist class sleeper, or better still, £132 each way per person in a 2-bed Gran Clase sleeper with private shower & toilet, dinner with wine and breakfast included in the fare." Dang, that sounds good, and no hassles with Ryanair.
