Got mine in post this morning after ringing them on Monday. Mind you i cant make head nor tail of them as its all in German and Slovak. I'll have to pester the multi lingual slovak barmaid in my local tonight.

Yeh were flying into prague on the thursday and getting the train down on the friday. As far as i know there is a train to bratislava every few hours for around 10 euro. From all the posts very few people have put this route down as their way of travel so i think you would be safe enough to wait til you get into prague and then book it from there. Thats what we plan to do anyway. Id book the train back on the monday though.

If you go to the link at the start of this thread it will bring up a page where international tickets can be booked. Unfortunately the train from bratislava to prague cant be booked online but if you ring this UK call centre on 08718 80 80 66 mon-fri between 9 and 5 they can book it for you on credit card. Were on the 12;25 EC170 train on the monday which most have booked. They are very helpful but you may have to wait a while until you get through. Hope this helps.

I originally thought it would be ok getting it over there but the thought of the guts of 6000-7000 people trying to get on the same trains persuaded me to book it ahead of time, if only for piece of mind and to beat any chaos!!

I'm just owed too much money for this trip as it is and don't want to be paying for everyone for yet another thing. :)

I used my UK debit card, but it wouldn't matter if id used the Irish one as others have booked their tickets as well.

She was really nice, took about 10mins in all and said she will post them to me today.

Maybe you should try calling back :confused:

Cheers, sorted now! I got put thru to a German call centre the first time for some reason.

Cannot wait for this trip, should be amazin!

Absolutely! It was chaotic enough in Stuttgart and in Rimini, so we decided rather than face trying to face booking a ticket with a hang over on Monday morning with the queues etc its much better to do it this way!

Cant believe its only 3 weeks today :eek: Cant wait :D

Yep, 0044 drop the first zero

Yeah I've dropped the zero already and it starts ringing before I get to the last 2 digits...then it gives the usual "the number you have dialled is not in service"!!!

Has everyone else booked using this number? Very frustrating :mad:
