I have (thankfully fully refundable) accommodation booked in Geneva, Vienna and Genoa in the summer. Looked at the seat 61 seat and it all seemed to be doable, if a little complicated. Train tickets were not on sale until recently so I signed up to alerts but I did book the Eurostar when those seats came live at Christmas.
Last week I got the alert for the Paris - Geneva leg so went to book last night. The cost is 4 times the highest cost quoted on the seat 61 site. I then had a look at Geneva - Vienna, which I sure I signed for an alert for and have not received, and that journey is just saying unavailable/available but not as a sleeper but 7 changes, one in the middle of the night.
I think I need to just rethink the whole holiday. Both dc really looking forward to Geneva, for different reasons, so thinking of sucking up the cost of that train and keeping that bit, but cancelling the other cities and looking for one other place that is fairly easy to get to from Geneva and then easy to get back to Paris for the train home.
DS1 really wanted a sleeper train and the new city (yes, does really need to be a city - neither dc like pools etc and are not sporty, like walking but nothing more outdoorsy than that) needs to have enough to do for 10 days or so to fit with the Eurostar home, though I think you can change the dates for that - need to check. DS1 loves museums/history, ds2 loves - cafes and really wanted mountains and the sleeper!
This is really stressing me out now - any advice would be brilliant.
