  1. Well this discussion went downhill fast! Thanks for the tips though guys, will definitely check out the river tours as well.
  2. If I had properly thought it through before booking my Chicago flights I could have booked a return flight departing on Monday morning rather than evening. Probably for the best though, my legs are going to be absolutely wrecked after the marathon on the Sunday!
  3. Even though I listen to Kanye West? I arrive back at Heathrow on the morning of the Slovakia match, looked at every possible option to get across for that but nothing gets me to Trnava in time for kick-off so I had to drop that idea.
  4. Anyone got any other general tips/suggestions for Chicago? I'm heading through to run the marathon. I arrive on a Thursday afternoon and depart on the Monday evening, the marathon is on the Sunday morning so the rest of that day will be a write-off for doing anything afterwards. Is the bus tour any good for $35/$40 for a day pass? Thinking I might not be too keen on doing much walking around on the Monday. I'm thinking of picking up a CityPass which seems to be reasonable value for the main attractions (e.g Willis Tower, Field Museum, etc) and includes fast-track access to avoid some queuing. I've got a ticket for Kanye West on the Friday and I'm also looking to snag a Chicago Bulls ticket for a pre-season game on the Saturday evening.
  5. Thanks, I saw that but it looks like it's from December 2014 so wasn't sure if it was still accurate for Chicago. I have sent a few of those places an email to see if they'll be showing the match but no response yet.
  6. Does anyone know any decent places in Chicago to watch Scotland matches? I'll be heading over there in a few weeks and need somewhere to catch the Lithuania match. I'm also open to any sight-seeing advice, I've got about 4 days. Thanks in advance for any tips!
  7. With the 35 hour maximum working week that they're striking to protect, I'd be surprised if a French train conductor was even out of bed at that time! ;-)
  8. They were checking tickets on the 11:38 TER from Metz back to Luxembourg but were accepting tickets for later trains, I had a ticket for the 15:08 TGV but the ticket office told me I could use it on earlier trains so I headed up to Luxembourg earlier to avoid any hassles later in the day.
  9. My TER booking says no allocated seat, so perhaps they do oversell
  10. It looks like the TER trains are still running tomorrow between Luxembourg and Metz. According to this page we should in theory be able to just jump on one of those: http://uk.voyages-sncf.com/en/train/strike There was one at 13:30-ish but that's no longer showing on the site so I ended up just booking a ticket for the 12:13 for 16.70 Euros, assuming I will be able to get a refund for my 13:09 TGV ticket at Luxembourg station.
  11. I got this email too about the same 13:09 Lux to Metz TGV train, I love how the original French message says cancelled but the English version they included only says there "may" be disruptions. Checking on the SNCF site confirms that it is in fact cancelled. Anyone else in the same boat for the 13:09 from Lux to Metz want to share the cost of alternative transport?
  12. Just wanted to say thanks again to Scanner for organising all the buses!
  13. Row A in Sector 9.... no idea why they've put me right in the corner when the stadium will be half full?
