Internet booking systems are a revolution in convenience for planning and purchasing travel... but when such systems fail to deliver their potential, they are infuriatingly a revolution wasting your life!
My goal was to get a train ticket (or tickets) from Antwerp to Gdansk.
Didn't seem so hard. Various different national and European rail websites (accessed from England, Luxembourg & Belgium), could identify a few different ways of doing the trip, though no two websites returned the same solutions.
However, none of the websites would enable you to buy the tickets, each failing at a different stage and all incapable of breaking down the journey into constituant parts ie 3 tickets for each leg rather than 1 ticket for all 3 legs.
Fortunately for me Dieter and Rut have a travel agent friend and he was able to get me a ticket most of the way: Antwerp-Brussels; Brussels-Koln; Koln-Poznan. I'd have to get a ticket in Poznan to Gdansk.
