      @iowct to be fair booking trains within many countries is hard enough for simple journeys. To expect them to work on complex trips across borders is borderline insanity.

      We took the train from Brittany to Amsterdam last year and paid an eye watering amount and had fragile connections because my wife refused to fly. Ten times the price, slower and a lot more complicated... Train companies act like they hate their customers most of the time.
