A Christmas message from German Motorail. I haven't used the service since 1999! But every year they send me the timetables etc. It was a great service from Cologne to Salzburg and Villach.

"The Christmas season invites us to pause for a moment and express our appreciation. Therefore, we would like to thank you – all our guests who have accompanied us through 2025. Your enthusiasm and trust are our driving force and motivation. Being able to experience special journeys together with you fills us with joy every year. And in 2026, we will continue to do everything we can to bring you to your favorite destinations safely, comfortably, and with respect for the environment .


On December 26, 2025, we kick off the 2025/2026 winter season : The first UEX night train departs from Hamburg-Altona to Landeck – including the option of taking your vehicle between Hamburg and Munich. A fantastic start to a long and exciting ski season! And we're adding even more: For the first time in our company's history, during the spring school holidays, we'll also be offering direct service from the Netherlands to Schladming and St. Anton am Arlberg."

At the southern entrance to Glen Coe  The only factory custom bike I have ever ridden before was an early Yamaha XS400 back in the early Eighties. It had not endeared me to custom bikes!

The Mediterranean weather is far more attractive for people to consider biking. Most of the ci...
