Rail travel has been growing in popularity over the past few years, and it is increasingly being seen as not just a means of transport, but an integral part of a holiday – like going on a grand tour. Flexible tickets and the resurgence of night trains mean that travellers can plot an itinerary that takes in any number of cities and countries on one trip. We’d like to hear about your best rail journey in the UK or Europe.
The best tip of the week, chosen by Tom Hall of Lonely Planet wins a £200 voucher to stay at a Coolstays property – the company has more than 3,000 worldwide. The best tips will appear in the Guardian Travel section and website.
