No flights and stranded? Here are some travel tips.
As someone who was supposed to be in Rome this week, you have my utmost sympathy if you are where you don’t want to be. Sympathy doesn’t help your travel plans so here are some tips that have worked for us and our clients so if you are in in the UK trying to get onto mainland Europe or wanting to come back to the UK we hope the following helps.
If Eurostar has no availability try other authorised resellers such as
Rail Europe www.raileurope.co.uk
TGV Europe (France) www.tgv-europe.com
French Railways www.voyages-sncf.com
Germail Railway www.bahn.com
Italian Railways www.trenitalia.com
Spanish Railways www.renfe.es
The best thing about these sites is that you don’t have to be travelling from, for example, Germany to use Deutsche Bahn. We helped get a client Eurostar tickets back from Brussels on Tuesday using Deutsche Bahn, so do try. All sites have information in English.
Seat61 is a great site for train information and gives alternatives for travelling to and from mainland Europe especially for those not based in London

Other options include chartering boats to or from the UK. We are also able to arrange chauffeur driven cars to and from Europe too as we have a great supplier with cars all over Europe.
Good luck and do let us know if we can help.
