@superalbs That’s what you get when you sell tickets as low as 1 PLN. People buy them ‘just in case’ 😏

Booking train travel across Europe can be a pain - different sites, operators, passes, reservations, and fees. 😣

To help, I've compiled a FREE guide with the knowledge I've gained from 11+ years of international rail travel to help make it easier: https://t.co/94IE6Bc2k6 😀

@rail_away Thanks Gareth, interesting journey. I went on the Dacia back in May as part of an epic 38 train journey from London to Romania and back.

Finishing off the trip on one last KTX-I 🚅 from Cheonan-Asan 🇰🇷to Seoul 🇰🇷. That’s all for this trip folks 😊

[Rail-Away @rail_away]

The penultimate journey is a more retro one! 👌

Iksan 🇰🇷 to Asan 🇰🇷 on South Korea’s oldest InterCity train still in operation, the Saemaeul-ho 🚂, and only on the Janghang Line now!

High comfort, spacious interiors and nice views - well worth avoiding the high speed line!

[Rail-Away @rail_away]

Next up, on the brand new KTX-CheongRyong 🚅 from Seoul 🇰🇷 to Dongdaegu 🇰🇷 and changing onto another KTX-I there to Gyeongju 🇰🇷.

Similar to the KTX-EUM 🚅 in appearance, the KTX-CheongRyong has more capacity 💺and a faster top speed. ⏱️

[Rail-Away @rail_away]

Armed with a Japan Rail Pass 🇯🇵 and South Korea Rail Pass 🇰🇷, it’s time to head to Asia. 🤩 Some travel highlights in the thread.

[Rail-Away @rail_away]

I’ve written about this trip on the KTX-I if you’re interested. 🚅🇰🇷

Some unique features on this train!
