    We are getting the train back from Italy this year on our Euro tour, paid £205 each for bike and cabin which I thought was good, but they are doing a free 2 bikes deal at the moment as below:

    guessing those prices are all in, but if you were looking at a 4 man group plus 2 bikes youd save about £300 between 4!? Certainly worth a call if you are thinking of doing this.

    i.e £291 for 4 berth cabin, circa £100 each for extra 2 bikes total at around £491 / £122 each (my best guess) which is a saving of £329 what we paid for 4.

    ideal if you want to let the train take the strain, pm me and i'll forward you the email.

    After my few days getting back today to trier this service is a good send.

    Fuel is nearly €1.70 a litre now in Europe, plus hotel, food etc

    Lol - although in 9 days, the bike drinks a fair bit more than you!! :)

    Tbh, last year we didn't find the beer expensive... We shall see this year though, but couple of stops for few days allows a fridge stock up :)

    Just re-read that, with no emoticons, punctuation etc.. it looks really harsh, rather than the banter / humour / leg pulling way it was intended.. Sorry dude

    Jeez Al, good save mate. You know how punchy Jimbo has been of late, although he should have started his period by now.
