The SBB ticket office at Zurich Hbf has moved from the north side of the haupthalle to a new location on the south side. Have deleted ticket office photos from seat61.com/stations/zuric…. If anyone gets any good wide angle shots of the new entrance or interior, please get in touch!

In other news, the free download link for India's famous 'Trains at a Glance' timetable booklet went 404 a few weeks ago. A new link has appeared, but it now costs 30 rupees to download it. I've updated Seat61's #tag links to point to irctctourism.com/gallery/tag.ht…

So, 8 September: - Removed warning about Paris metro fares doubled for the Olympics (so nice of 'em to do that!); - Removed warning about Simplon route blocked by trackwork; - Removed details of Brussels-Paris EC trains for Olympics (still possibly returning permanently in Dec?)

3 daily Paris-Brussels fast trains via the classic route to run from 15 December, similar to those provided July-Sept for the Olympics. A useful cheaper alternative to the high-speed Eurostar-formerly-Thalys. Provisional details: seat61.com/international-… & seat61.com/international-…

Oh FFS! The famous 'Trains at a Glance' timetable booklet can still be downloaded for FREE, but (sigh...) you need to set your VPN to India. Of course you do...

A positive step for the Green Party.

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.

Remember folks, always use *headsets* with your portable gramophones and wireless.

From 16 Sept, the afternoon Madrid>La Linea>Algeciras Intercity train becomes a morning one. Pre-pandemic Renfe ran both morning & afternoon trains, but only one resumed post-pandemic. I've re-written the outward journey on both UK-Morocco & UK-Gibraltar pages. Grrr...

Yesterday’s Split>Vienna/Bratislava sleeper made it OK in spite of the weather in Austria! 👇🏻
