Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ The start of a 2 week trip around Europe, and certainly did not disappoint! Loved every moment of being here but now it's time to move on... wonder where to?

Am I the only one finding these trainpal ads really annoying? They've gone to blatantly lying now saying they have access to a pool of cheaper tickets which the TOC websites don't have They're even saying you can get tickets so cheap as they've found a way to sell priv rate...

A video promoting a UK ticket retailer known for blatant lies when advertising saying to go straight to first class on a standard ticket as "no one will care".... unbelievable
