\"CIV<\/a><\/p>\n

With the University\u2019s ambitious new Sustainable Travel Principles committing to cutting carbon emissions from European train travel by 60% by 2026, I am sharing my recent experience of taking the train to Germany to visit friends in the beautiful town of Mayen in west Germany, a little south of Cologne.<\/p>\n

Travelling with my wife on Easter Saturday, we caught the 08:35 from Reading station to London St Pancras.\u00a0 We\u2019re well-practised at European train travel, so knew that the (poorly advertised) \u00a0\u201cLondon International CIV\u201d ticket is the best-priced ticket to connect with Eurostar.\u00a0 There’s loads more helpful hints for international train travel at the excellent https:\/\/www.seat61.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

We arrived at St Pancras an hour later, taking the Circle Line from Paddington, rather than the slower option of using the Elizabeth Line and needing to change at Farringdon.\u00a0 This was a little early for our 11:04 departure to Brussels, but it was particularly busy, being a bank holiday weekend.\u00a0 The train both left and arrived on the dot; at 14:05 (just over 2 hours, with the time difference).\u00a0 With our next train leaving for Cologne at 14:25, we were a little worried about missing our connection, but needn’t have worried as it was specifically announced as we approached Brussels, so clearly a well-planned route, leaving from the next platform along.\u00a0 Another perfectly-scheduled train saw us arrive in Cologne just over 2 hours later, exactly 7 hours after leaving Reading.<\/p>\n

T\"Eurostar\"<\/a>he final leg of our journey saw a further change at Andernach before arriving in Mayen at 18:10, just in time for dinner and 8\u00bd hours after leaving Reading (our friends live 5 minutes from the station).<\/p>\n

The journey time is only a little longer than flying, which would have needed us to drive to Stansted, park and catch a bus in time for 2 hours\u2019 check-in, the flight itself to Frankfurt Hahn (around 90 minutes) and then connection to an hour’s bus journey at the other end.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking the train reduced our carbon emissions by around 90%, there\u2019s no turbulence, no baggage check-in, good legroom and you actually get to see and experience some of the countries you are travelling through!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
