Wanted to share a wonderful website for train travel. Go to www.seat61.com. It will explain all train travel worldwide. I learned about a site called Capitaine, just purchased my tickets for France from them. Will not use Rail Europe again. Rail Europe is more expensive, they charge a service fee. Saved $50.00 for the same seats using Capitaine (www.capitainetrain.com).
Hey, that's exactly what we have all been saying on this site for ages.
The Man in Seat 61 is the best site on the web for train info.
I love that website and have it in my "favorites" list. Learned so much. He actually answered a questions I had on TA a month or so ago, when asking about trains.
