Thomsonfly Ends Coventry Services

BBC News. The airport is blaming the court case loss over the passenger terminal, but if there was enough demand, they would keep the services.

You can take a look at train connections from Coventry to the continent here.

- Trains to Paris take 5 hours from Coventry (8 connections each day).

- There are three connections each day to get you to Cologne: leaving at 0756, 1120 and 1220, arriving at 1645, 1945, and 2145.

- You can leave Coventry at 1250pm each day, and wake up in Venice for 9am. Same with Berlin (350pm departures, arriving in Berlin for 8am). With night trains, you're saving one night's hotel costs as well.

It is bloody expensive, though, Scott.

Ah, but cheap flights are cheap, carbon-wise. No VAT on airplane fuel, no pricing in of the carbon impact.
