@patterfloof@meow.social @TimWardCam@c.im @europeanspodcast@mastodon.social I agree about the lack of decent long-term advance bookability and timetables. And going via St Pancras is a bit of a headache. Last time I went to France (October), I took the counterintuitive route. From my home (Mansfield), local buses to Chesterfield, train to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, connecting bus to ferry terminal, and overnight ferry to Amsterdam, then train to Amiens (but, even then, illogically, fastest via Paris North). I like overnight travel.

@UkeleleEric@mstdn.social @TimWardCam@c.im @europeanspodcast@mastodon.social while I've not used it, I like the concept of overnight travel, you're making use of the otherwise unused sleep time, rather than spending the first day of your holiday trying to get there
