ETHICAL TRAVELLER:I HAD A CALL from a friend who was stuck in London during the worst of the snow. “You must know how to get me home without flying,” she said. “I need to be back in Dublin tomorrow, and every airport in Europe seems to be closed.”
Within minutes she was sorted. “Catch the 9am train from London Euston to Holyhead,” I told her. “It arrives four hours later, for the 2pm Irish Ferries crossing to Dublin, arriving just after 5pm. Hop in a cab or shuttle bus, and you’ll be home and dry in time for tea.”
