Evening to you all
I am a UK Railwayman and I am planning to do a 9-10 day tour of Europe by rail (mostly sleeper services) and I was wondering if anyone could help me with a few things.
Basically my itiinary is........
18th of June 0909 Waterloo to Paris, 2032 Paris to Barcelona (Elipsos)
19th of June 2040 Barcelona to Milan (Elipsos)
21st of June 11:10 Milan to Zurich, 22:40 Zurich to Vienna
22nd of June 22:33 Vienna to Prague
24th of June 21:18 Prague to Warsaw
25th of June 23:30 Warsaw to Berlin
27th of June 21:35 Berlin to Basel
28th of June 09:05 Basel to Geneva
29th of June 12:57 Geneva to Paris
30th of June Eurostar back to Waterloo
Does anyone know the standard of the sleeping accommodation on any of the trains and what tracton I can expect on the non Eurostar legs i.e ones to stay up and enjoy the thrash or ones that should be used for sleeping
Also if there are any rail staff out there! How do I stand with the FIP coupons on sleeper services and are there any which I should upgrade to 1st (the Polish legs sound a bit dodgy) or perhaps any of the others which offer a reasonable upgrade to 1st?
Any help would be appriciated, doesn't seem to be any resources to show you the stock they use and as for rail staff travel
having to fill in forms just to get quotes for the trip let alone actually getting reservations
Anyway thanks in advance
