We used a hire car from Heathrow to Brighton, about the same expense as the Heathrow Express, a cross-town taxi, the train to Brighton (sometimes clogged with outbound Gatwick people) and taxi to the hotel. It saved the luggage-handling and was somewhat scenic. After our stay we took the train...

Was there any mention of using UP (Ex-C&NW) trackage north of Milwaukee to give service to other cities? Sorry I'm behind the curve on this one.

We much prefer Rail Sail back and forth between Dublin & London. BA seems to enjoy canceling short-haul flights, and they're not that great anyway.

Received my Select today, six months after the EB trip that boosted me.

I remember an early evening at the depot in Manassas VA. Crescent came in with four beautiful E-8s and a long string of cars. It made a double-stop at the station. Then those E-8s wound up and away she went.

There are at least two locations overseas where US Customs & Immigration has full clearing offices. Thus, passengers going to the US are cleared there, and the flight lands as a domestic US flight. They are Dublin, Ireland and the island of Aruba.

Last time into San Diego I had to call the Hertz airport office (10 min away). They told me to take a cab, they'd pay. They did.

That EWR terminal used by People's Express was the closest thing to a dungeon I've ever seen. Unheated concrete block corridors. All but dragons.

Our last pass on Sail + Rail was a quick connection between a late-arriving ferry and an on-time departure of the train. Something like seven minutes. We really had to "hoof-it" to get to the first-class car at the head of the train. Rest of trip to Euston was great.

Perfectly adequate Gin & Tonic EB Eastbound 8/24/21.

King Street station, Seattle. Great architecture and history, restored nicely.

0831 Bedroom "C", SEA 8/23 to CHI 8/25, price $1807 (seniors). Not a good experience. Older car, A/C stuck on max, no control of it, freezing in Bedroom. Waste removal system failed last day, had to go to next car. Food was good, decent selection, prepared & served well, friendly staff...

Too many people around with my name.

Holland, Michigan's old Pere Marquette station has been restored and is now the city's transportation center, thanks to donations from residents.
