I need to buy three sets of train tickets. London to Edinburgh, Amsterdam to Paris, and Paris to Caen. What would be the best website to use to get this tickets at the best rates? If anyone has ideas on websites or phone numbers it would be greatly appreciated. I did check out raileurope.com and it seemed very overpriced.<BR><BR>Thanks in advance,<BR><BR>Bill<BR><BR>

Buy them all when you get to London.<BR><BR>Best wishes,<BR><BR>Rex<BR>

Rex,<BR><BR>Thank you for your response. Where would you recommend I purchase these tickets in London? We are staying right next to Waterloo station, could I get them there? <BR><BR>Thanks

<BR>Yes, at the Europe desk of the Railtrack booking office on the main platform level, not at the Eurostar office downstairs. If that fails, over the river to Charing Cross main line station, where they sell these tickets at the easternmost window.<BR><BR>Your Scottish ticket may be cheaper if you book it early on, the day you arrive in London. You should ask fares for the East Coast route and for the slower West Coast route. If your time is short you can take a sleeper (and save a hotel bill) on the west coast route: board at Euston 2300, leave at Edinburgh 0755. In the same way, there is a sleeper from Amsterdam Central at 2223 to Paris Nord at 0656, starting on 26 April. If you would like a note I have on sleepers in Europe please ask me. And please write if I can help further. Welcome to Europe.<BR><BR>Ben Haines, London<BR><BR><BR>
