Good morning! Milan to London by train, in a day: First up, the 06:25 Frecciarossa from Milan to Paris, due to arrive 13:22. In business (1st) class, which cost me €49. Details at #london-to-italy-by-eurostar-and-frecciarossa" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seat61.com/Italy.htm#lond…

Breakfast time!

That's the Seat61 Iran page updated, for the reinstated twice-weekly Turkey-Tehran train starting next month, seat61.com/Iran.htm Although (sigh) the FCDO now advises against travel to Iran. The way things are going, I wonder when they'll give up & say where we *can* go..?

Great coffee shop.

Just when you think the 2025 timetable is going to be entirely positve, you hear that the Stuttgart-Venice Nightjet is cancelled from 17 November 2024 to 13 July 2025 (reason not known, I'd guess, something to do with the Italians stopping non-push-pull trains at Venice SL)

Berlin-Krakow: Only 1 train a day a few years ago, now has 2 a day, increasing to 3 a day in the 2025 timetable so I'm creating a separate page for this route. The EuroCity trains 'Wawel', 'Oder' and... anyone know the name of the new 3rd train?

The perfect place for a quiet little hour. Our menu will sort you and you'll just love our staff 1 minute from #CainsBrewery L8 5RE

Cheap fare to Paris, Brussels or Amsterdam? Eurostar SNAP tickets are back at snap.eurostar.com/uk-en. Up to 50% off, but you pick a day, they tell you which train you’re on 48h beforehand. Bookable max 14 days in advance.

Almost lunch time...

Open now for your Saturday morning kickstart

You’ll find us today in the 2 places that our good friend Joe Farrag calls home! That’s right, we will be at both @GranbyMarket & Glorious Goodison Park for a big Saturday in both L4 & L8 We will have our delicious award winning pies available to purchase at both🥧

Checked in for the 08:01 to Paris and now in Eurostar’s business lounge. Oooh it feels early…

1. You'll soon have to apply for a visa & have your fingerprints taken, for a day trip to Calais; 2. If you'd told me that 10 years ago, I'd have said you were taking the P; 3. If anyone invents a time machine, I'm going straight back to 1995 (The world made more sense then...)

Belfast's new Grand Central Station is open! Initially for buses, trains from late September. Enterprise trains from Dublin will arrive in the heart of Belfast with easy interchange to buses & local trains. No more remote Lanyon Place & having to change to reach Gt Victoria St.

Good news for Interrail & Eurail passholders: Seat reservations Berlin <> Warsaw/ Wroclaw/ Krakow/ Gdansk can now be made online with German Railways & printed out or shown on your phone. I've updated the Seat 61 Interrail reservations guide, seat61.com/interrail-and-… #interrail

We try our best to be as sustainable as possible, recycling and reusing. Our packaging is all compostable, including our straws! Even the paint we used to decorate the shop was saved from landfill 🎨🖌️

A bit windy out there! Pop in and treat yourself

We now have a universal workaround for LNER fares. For travel London <> all stations Newcastle-Edinburgh inclusive, DO NOT book to/from London: 1. Book to/from Finsbury Park 2. In the search results, click 'Filters' then 'Route options'. Under 'Go via ' enter Kings Cross.

I've added a section about CartaFRECCIA membership to the Seat61 Train travel in Italy page, #cartafreccia" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seat61.com/train-travel-i… - but am I being too cynical?
