Guest neesy111 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 3 1/2 hours on a train from Amsterdam to Bruges for anyone thinking of getting the ferry. Its only about 5 or so direct on the train isnt it? Yeah, but your on the boat there and back and can stop by in Amsterdam. Delightful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its only about 5 or so direct on the train isnt it? There are 3 options in getting from Amsterdam to Bruges: Change trains in Antwerp and again in Gent: 3 hours 31 minutes (The first leg of this is sometimes on the high-speed Thalys train, and you have to get a seat reserved for it, which you can usually do the day before or even as you walk up) Change trains only in Antwerp: 3 hours 44 minutes to 4 hours (This is a bit slower because the connection between is longer) Change trains only in Brussels: 4 hours (This is also slower due to a longer wait for the second train) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Thinking about doing a Madeira trip for a weekend or so. Sounds decent. Edit: Prices for the flights suggest it is not decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Venkman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 So are you lot booking travel before match tickets? I don't know if I'll be able to get tickets on my own merit, not got many points on the season ticket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Hour drive to Folkstone, Euro tunnel to Calais, Hour and a half drive to Brugge. Result. Bordeaux is a bit of a trek mind, 8 hour drive from Calais. Might take the train/plane on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ramsgate to Ostend Hull to Zeebrugge Eurostar Bruges is piss easy to get to. Bordeux is Ryanair form Edinbrugh Maritimo you can fly direct from Newcastle with Thomsons and Thomas Cooks as it's in their winter sun brochures.

The boat is shit though, plus i had a bad crossing that would have screwed up any hope of making the match as we didnt get into Amsterdam til 2pm. Would rather do a night in Bruges.
