Ribble Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Bob Loblaw said: Just a heads up that there are train strikes planned for September 15 & 17 which might potentially effect people's plans who aren't flying direct from Edinburgh. Looks like the 15th will be basically zero trains running in the Uk, 17th is RMT only so should still see about 20% of services running, mostly on the main lines, fingers crossed we get something back from leeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle - Edinburgh is being diverted up the LNER line at the mo as well. 3hrs+ You'd be cheaper and quicker getting the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid question time, is there any way we will know in advance if that train will run or is it just a case of them deciding last minute?

Any info gratefully received thanks I'm on the 13.54 on Friday 16th. As far as I know its scheduled to run as expected. However there are strikes on the 15th and 17th so it wouldn't be a stretch to think trains on the 16th could be effected in some way ehen more people will be trying to travel. Hopefully not though.

Footballfirst Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Anyone looking for flights from Liverpool to Tallin, a return flight is available Wed-Sun for just £16. Could work for anyone prepared to hire a car or live with bus travel and wants to experience the Baltics beyond the football. https://www.skyscanner.net/transport/flights/lpl/tll/220914/220918/?adults=1&adultsv2=1&cabinclass=economy&children=0&childrenv2=&destinationentityid=27547202&inboundaltsenabled=false&infants=0&originentityid=27544132&outboundaltsenabled=false&preferdirects=false&ref=home&rtn=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used them for zurich and paid for automatic online check in with an emailed boarding pass. Only appeared about two hours before I was due to fly. Wasn’t there when I arrived at zurich so had to use the check in desk and get a paper boarding pass. If you read the reviews then you wouldn’t use them. Thankfully I never and jumped on the cheapest flight I could find to zurich and it was them. I got there and back ok but had a few panicky moments. Decided to book direct to Florence and Riga with the airline themselves this time. Paid a bit more but I couldn’t take the anxiety of E-Dreams again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy2 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Doing the Liverpool/Tallinn route, Wed to Sun but kind of gutted last night as I found Vilnius to Liverpool for £8 (yes, EIGHT GBP), which is a similar distance on a bus that would have got me home a day earlier.
