Jack Reeve spent more than 63 hours travelling by train, coach and bus from Croatia to Norwich after his flight was cancelled.
Jack Reeve spent more than 63 hours travelling by land across Europe after his flight home was cancelled
The journalist, from Norwich, said “everything was against us” after he was unable to book any flights with easyJet and was faced with disrupted train services following a landslide that blocked several tracks across Europe. “Lots of the trains were on coach replacement throughout Germany and Austria – everything was against us.”
Mr Reeve said travelling by land was “nerve-wracking” particularly as travelling across Europe by train was a new experience.“It was nerve wracking because all of the changeovers were really tight and there was a possibility we might get stuck in Stuttgart.”He estimates that the lengthy journey has set him back nearly £2,000 and was left unimpressed by the lack of support from easyJet and his travel provider, Tui.
Despite the lengthy journey home, the couple remained positive throughout the process and revelled in the sights of Europe via train.“Some of the parts were beautiful through Austria into Germany and into France, some of it was really stunning. That was the positive as we would have never seen that if had flown.”
