Myanmar Railways Train # 3(Up): Yangon to Mandalay Disclaimer: I can sometimes write with an air of sarcasm, so please do not be put off by this! This trip was a thoroughly fantastic experience and we are glad that we have the memories from this train ride. After taking a trip to the Myanmar...

Thanks for modifying the title, MrFSS!

Oops, the title didn't like my accented "é", it's meant to display: " SNCF Intercités Train Review Bordeaux to Nantes". If someone is able to modify the title to "SNCF Intercites Train Review from Bordeaux to Nantes" so that it does not display "?", please feel free. Thanks!

I agree that it is a good place to get out of the hustle and bustle of Union Station but my biggest point is that for those, like me, who have never been to a train's "First Class lounge" and can only compare it to an airline's first class lounge--you're in for a disappointment. The Acela First...

Since we've quickly turned this into a "where is it appropriate to use the restroom on a train" debate, if I were to tell you that in almost every case when we "snuck" into a vacant room, the room was confirmed to be permanently vacant and had yet to be remade by the attendant. Is this OK sleep...

Yep, I was exaggerating a bit! Caught me. Yes, great in theory but when you wake up in the middle of the night and need to take a quick leak both options are terrible: either take the (long) walk to the other cabins or ask your cabinmate to wake up and get out. I'm really looking forward to...

Thanks guys! I hope to be riding and posting more in the future. I'm really wishing that we had more routes down South!
