    Yes but sleep on coach, not overnight in hotel, we preferred straight through

    Oh, think I would prefer it broken up, infact, take 3 nights, with stops in hotels on the way would suit me better :) I cant sleep on coaches/trains/planes/automobiles.

    Just join with say your 2nd name and add a child ( real or imaginary ). I got my DD a 2nd card in her 2nd name and added my Granddaughters name. Took 5 mins.
    I have 4 advantage cards ( one in my first name, one in my 2nd name, my husbands and one in the name of my friend who went back to Italy to live.

    Thanks for the advice x

    Train to Poland was fantastic, they had a carriage that was empty, just bare walls and floors, with a pole in the middle, and a bar in the corner. And no, I dont know what the pole was for, apart from it had a little wooden shelf around it to rest your glass on. No chairs in it. Oh, and all compartments where there is 6 people, sitting on bench seats facing each other, like you see on old steam trains.

    Yes, see major news channels - shortage of lettuce, courgettes, tomatoes and various others due to some issue with crops in Spain.
