In the past we have thought about going on holiday to Europe by train instead of plane (we live in northern Scotland) but the cost is huge compared to the far less eco (but much quicker) flights. Add to that the fact that there is never anything like enough storage for luggage on trains. Even within the UK, long distance train journeys can be very costly. I hate driving, but the train companies don't exactly encourage you to travel with them.<br /><br />I'll look out for the Jam Queens book.
