The British Foreign Office has surprisingly updated its advice for anyone wanting to travel to Spain due to political unrest in the country (not in the Balearics).

David Holland"When not on strike" ! That IS one of the problems, they have far too of them but many other problems even without strikes. Too many leaves on the track, wrong snow or rain, the list is unfortunately a bit too long of problems with the railways in UK apart from being terribly expensive. I lived in the Westcountry for many years, so unfortunately I have had experience, and not too many airports around either.
David Holland'Anyway the trains in the U.K. are very nice and new and punctual' Is this a joke? I've travelled on a lot of trains on recent visits to the UK and I'd estimate that 75% were either delayed or cancelled. The ones that did run looked like they hadn't been cleaned for months. As for the cost - they are the most expensive in Europe. Now compare that to Spanish trains. The AVE is light years ahead of anything in the UK.
Zoltan TeglasI really don’t get this obsession with trains . It’s 19th century technology for god sake. Anyway the trains in the U.K. are very nice and new and punctual when not on strike. Some years ago I did a lot of work in Hagen . Regular on the Düsseldorf to Newcastle Eurowings flights. They had a logo on the seat backs With a mile of railway you can go nowhere. With a mile of runway you can go anywhere. Enough said.
There should be a warning for anyone travelling to the UK, expecting to get around using the **** 3rd world train service there. By far the worst in Europe!
