The Man in Seat 61

Mark Smith, the Man in Seat 61, the chap who runs train travel site seat61.com. Now on Bluesky: bsky.app/profile/seatsi…
- From 10 September, new generation Nightjet trains will take over the Munich/Salzburg/Vienna - Bologna/Florence/Rome sleeper route.
- IT’S ITALY’S MOST EPIC SLEEPER TRAIN: Over 950 miles from Milan to Palermo, it’s a train that goes onto a boat, and a private single-bed sleeper cost me all of €84.90. I can resist anything except temptation…
- The Dutch press see it like it is...Boris continues to push for Brexit.
- The Nightjet reveal event begins at 10, and I’m here. Must be Europe’s first 230km/h sleeper train? #excited? Nope, make that #hoppingupanddownexcited.
- BREAKING: @EuropeanSlpr to launch a Brussels-Venice train twice a week in February & March next year via the scenic Brenner Pass, with couchettes, sleepers & (yay!) dining-car. Fares tba, booking opens next month. Recommended Eurostar connection leaves London St Pancras at 11:04.
- Not over the windows. Ever. It demonstrates to everyone that you’re not putting passengers first.On a South Western train - not clever, not nice, bloody awful. Just don’t do it. #saveourwindows
- MILAN TO LONDON BY TRAIN in a day. First up, carefully avoiding August landslides, the 08:20 EuroCity from Milan Centrale to Geneva…
- So today I’m going from London to Berlin by Eurostar & the inaugural eastbound @EuropeanSlpr. Sorry, did I say Berlin? Hell no! I’m going to POLAND. For the weekend. By train. #youknowitmakessense
- What??!! Trying to book a Eurostar in October, vast majority of seats still unbooked, but all seat 61s already gone? Guess I’ve only myself to blame…
