The bus goes where railways can’t. Along cliff roads above the Atlantic, and through villages where the main stop is the post office. Or over alpine passes too steep for trains, into mountain towns that feel completely cut off from the rest of the world.

Your fellow passengers are a mix of tourists, schoolchildren, commuters, people carrying groceries home after market day. And the views from the window make up for the somewhat bumpy ride.

We’ve rounded up some of our favourite routes across the UK and Europe, from Cornwall’s Tin Coast to the high passes of the Swiss Alps.

top tip for adventuring by train with kids: pack as light as possible, using backpacks. Wheeled cafes and cobbled streets don’t go well together, and a comfortable backpack leaves hands free - always useful with kids in tow!

Amsterdam has banned advertisements for flights in public spaces, as part of a wider ban on fossil fuel advertising.

The move is motivated by the local government's environmental targets, looking to shift lifestyle choices to lower-carbon options.

This feels particularly poignant at a time when mindsets towards high-carbon travel are starting to shift, with fewer people defaulting to flying due to rising costs and disruption.

Do you think more spaces should ban fossil fuel adverts?
