Ise,
I have found a very good website, www.seat61.com for working out train routes across international boundaries.
If you send me a pm telling me where you want to go, I'll have a look for you,

I've seen that before. The problem really is one of cost as much as anything. I've an event I need to go to next week for example, this will cost :
EasyJet RTN = chf 74.47
Swiss Rail to and from airport = chf 68
UK Rail from event to parents house return = £11 (18 chf)
So, 160 chf return all in. The rail fares aren't even close. Some of the things I need to go to are work related and the rail fare would make it uneconomic, particularly given the current exchange rate.

That's too bad Ise, but I agree the train will never be able to beat those EasyJet prices.
