Holiday Heroes

Sadly, it's not a perfect world. If something went wrong on your holiday who stood up at the plate and helped to resolve the problem. Acknowledge the unsung heroes - the individuals and companies who were there for you - and those who weren't.

Environmentally Responsible Tourism

It's a big and beautiful world out there and we all want to enjoy it. But, how do we sustain it's wonders for generations to come?

      Charter Trains
      by conlonch Sat Aug 01, 2009 3:39pm

Instead of chartering aircraft for holidays to Spain, France, Portugal, Italy etc, Why not charter trains? With high speed train links from London, and the government funding for high speed links going north, it has to be worth investigating. This could be sold to travellers, with the reduction in need for airport car parking, etc and the long time waiting in airports, when you add up the time getting to the airport, the wait, the queues, baggage handling etc it has advantages. Not to mention it is a cleaner way to travel. Trains have more room, and if you use Eurostar as an example, people take their own bags on and off, and it is very fast track to go through security. With a little bit of though and planning I am sure this could be a winner.
