unfortunately that is its selling point. Brutal of me to say this, but would you really want it to cost £35 a go and be competing with Thorpe Park for the football-strip-and-12-pack-of-Wotsits demographic? -
I went on it in 1985 when I was eurorailing - Paris to Vienna, be we were slumming it in cattle class. Got a sleeping car tho, found it impossible to sleep, had same problem on Trans Siberian...Comment
