The new Danube...

Well it's rail fun galore over here at Futerra Towers. We've just won a contract with Eurostar to work on their environmental communications, which is incredibly exciting and one of the best clients we have ever had. Plus last weekend I got to go to a mate's wedding in Montpelier, swooshing through the French countryside in a rather snazzy double-decker TGV...sipping wine and enjoying the delights of the buffet: hot cheesy, vegetable gratin in a ceramic dish! A mere three and a half hours from grey, thundery and oh so very moist Paris and we were in the hot, sunny south of the country. This is very sexy travel at it's best...

Well, almost. I think the new 'Danube Express' service probably surpasses even the TGV in terms of opulence, luxury and all round indulgence! The brainchild and labour of love of British rail buff and entrepreneur Howard Trinder this is lavishness on wheels and with routes from Berlin to Budapest and even onto Istanbul the scenery will be pretty spectacular too! Now I just need to start saving the pennies to afford the equally impressive £1000 ticket price!
