Urrghh – we are planning a trip to the UK from Australia mid-year and I discovered the Bargain Berths during one of my web searches….I doubt I would have EVER found them with this new system! I thought...

Agree with above comments, good to have found this site. I am planing a sleeper trip and went to check the Scotrail site, squinted at it, and realised it wasn’t me, the Bargain Berths link really had...

pfft, good luck, I contacted them directly and the dude just said, monotonously, ‘you’ll have to use the mixing desk’ ‘but-’ ‘you’ll have to use the mixing desk’ ‘how?-’ ‘you’ll have to use the mixing...

Interesting question. I think a lot of it comes from the ongoing confusion/interchangeable use of the terms ‘Great Britain’ and ‘UK’, when they’re not really the same thing at all. You’re right that it...

Thanks Gaz, all very thoughtful stuff. Let me hone in on the question in your second paragraph, albeit that my answer is something of a tangent to this post’s point: “…if Scotland leaving the UK as is...

I assume you’re coming from a cake shop! I get what you mean, but you have kind of made my point for me though (possibly better than I did) – an enrichment of Scottish Culture and, I agree, probably a...

For what it’s worth, I got this this email response: **** Thank you for your email. I am sorry you have had cause to complain. We have made these changes to improve the booking process but your...

Thanks, Other Simon, for posting the response – that’s helpful to know. And yes, it’s well worth sending them a message. Customer feedback does work when lots of people call for something together.

~MMMMmmm. Very annoying. Having had a good look around the best I could get was a fairly decent fare from Gatwick to Inverness via London Kings cross and Aberdeen for £50.00 which isn’t bad but took...

We had same problem – wanted to go by train but had to resort to Easyjet instead.

Well I just discovered this bad news for me and the environment, but good news for Easyjet. Do you know if these fares can therefore now be accessed if I pop down the friendly local ticket office at...

Jules, the sleeper front page says the BBs are ‘available online…’ which suggests that’s still the only means of getting them. Again, email customer relations. Clearly there are a number of us...
