Back in October 2017, I took advantage of a mid-week day off and decided to visit the French city of Toulouse. Prior to this trip I had previously visited the region on a family holiday and had toured the Airbus facilities at Toulouse airport, however I had never had the opportunity to visit the city itself.
After an tiring but thoroughly enjoyable day in Dublin I jumped on an airport express bus outside Heuston station and started to make my way back to the airport. Heuston is the far end of the 747 route and for most of the day buses depart here for the airport every 10 minutes. Between the 747 and 757 routes most of the City Centre is directly accessible by bus from the airport, allowing minimum time on a day trip to be wasted on travel.
Dublin is definitely worth a visit and, with connections to most of the UK courtesy of Ryanair, a day trip can easily be made worthwhile. I’ll definitely be heading back in the near future and can’t wait to learn more about the fabulous city.
t 0530 on a clear but cool morning in late August I arrived at Hampton-in-Arden station to the southeast of Birmingham to start my day trip to Dublin.
Whilst this post is going to contain the usual review of my journey and the on-board service, it also covers the worst delay I have experienced in my years travelling on the railway.
Back in August we decided to take a trip to York to celebrate my birthday and agreed we’d spend some time looking around the city itself before heading to the National Railway Museum (NRM) for the afternoon. This post is going to look at the NRM itself, however you'll soon be able to read about York itself on Beth’s blog and my review of our journey to York here. The review of our eventful journey home will be coming soon on the blog!
