Folks cheap train tickets to Manchester for 20/21 June are now available. The 22nd isnt available yet. I would usually advise buying two singles rather than waiting for a return.
Unfortunately there are no cheap Manchester/London train tickets if you want/need to travel during peak time (between 2.40pm - 6pm and 5am - 10am). I cannot afford take two half days of work to get the cheap train tickets so I am flying late Weds arvo and early Fri morning for £65 return so there is another option other than a £240 train ticket for those who have to travel during peak times.
As a matter of personal opinion I think it is absolutely disgraceful that it could cost £240 return to get two hours away to Manchester - I can go to Paris return for £69 and could almost get to New York return on the plane for £240!!!

pssst...im gonna see u this year?,im doing DAM to end,exept 2 festivals....which shows u doing?
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
Speaking of trains...can someone with Euro travel experience please let me know which is my best option. I'm flying into Amsterdam, then traveling to Bruges, Belgium, then on to Arras, then to Paris, and then Frankfurt. Am I better off getting a Eurail pass or booking each train individually? What's the most economical and what's the most convenient and hassle-free? Thanks

Ditto here. Would love help with nearly the exact same route, just ending in Berlin!
Man-London train booked. Now Am'dam-Paris train to book(I'm having a few days in Paris between Am'dam & Berlin coz I've never been there!). Anyone got tips for that for me? I'm hoping to go on June 28, travelling during the day to see the countryside & getting into Paris early enough to have some food etc. I think Thalys high speed train might be my best bet? Anyone know? TIA.

i am confused too, is there any train from brussels to prague? i cant seem to find one, and not on that euro travel rail site but some other site i saw amsterdam to prague trains but it too long a ride either way by train to prague, from either brussels or amsterdam?? at first i thought it was only maybe a 5 hour or so train ride either way? but is it more like 12-15 hours, if there even is a train from brussels to prague?
what sucks is there is no cheap flights i can find from brussels to prague they all like 300 1 way if you want non stop . i saw one for like 150 i think but it had 2 stops from brussels to paris to berlin to prague, likewtf is that i dont want to be on the plane that long to other fuckin countries i dont need to go to. not sure why it was like that when i look it up on a few sites
i just try to book tix for next week

why cant i find cheaper flights from brussels to prague the cheapest i could find is $179 euro 1 way
however i have found $65 flight 1 way from amsterdam to prague
and crazy i found this $40 1 way from london to prague
and london is way farther to prague than brussels. wtf is with these prices why is everything from brussels to prague so expensive? is it cause it not a common travel route??????? anyone find cheaper than 179$ euro 1 way for flight? damn with these prices i might have to skip belgium just cause the prices seem ridiculous to fly out of there, and we are 2 people that almost $200 difference :(

Your best bet for getting from Manchester straight to Amsterdam is flying - flights go direct from Manchester airport with Easyjet and take 1 hour 25 mins and at present cost as little as £30 (if you want to take the 8am flight on Sunday 24 June 2012).
To take the ferry or train to Amsterdam from Manchester you will need to get back to London first and then plan an onward journey - this will (a) cost a lot more than £30-£50 and (b) will take a lot longer.
With regards to trains etc., your best bet is to start searching NOW for cheap tickets between cities. Cheap tickets go on sale 12 weeks before travel date. I've never used the europass rail ticket thingy, I've only ever booked through that countries rail site - e.g. Berlin to Prague, I would book using Germanys rail provider, www.bahn.de although it would be worth looking at the Czech one too. When you book, you usually get an e-ticket, just print it out and keep it handy for the inspector.
I haven't looked at what airport you're using for Brussels, but I think there's Brussels international, and Brussels Charleroi (which Ryanair operate out of!) so make sure you check flights from both airports, or from surrounding airports such as Maastricht or Antwerp. The train will take 15 hours, see if you can get an overnight sleeper train? You'd have to book Brussels to Berlin, then Berlin to Prague.
Train tickets are definitely coming available now. This is definitely the time to be looking for them. I've got my Manchester-London, Amsterdam-Paris & Paris-Berlin trains booked now. Just the Stockholm-Copenhagen one to do. After that & buying my travel insurance I'm all done I think. Then the waiting game will really begin!!
