Thanks for these posts. Most useful. We are a bit too old & spoilt to endure the long and uncomfortable trips you are describing (been there, done that, still remember the back pain of 20 years ago).
The more luxurious one referred to by triptaka sounds more our style.
Anyone know more about that one?
We're not all that fussed about the price (within reason). Mainly just looking for a way of reducing the time and hassle of the multi-train trip.
Has anyone heard of a small shuttle service (eg mini vans) that we might hire to take us south??
Many thanks
