Back in England, three travel observations

Well, I'm back. Ryanair flying from a small airport to a competent one works very efficiently; fifty minutes from wheels-on-ground with one set of passengers to wheels-in-air with another. And whilst it may only be relevant to people with my particular travel habits, Stansted counts as London Terminals, so you can leave by Eurostar and return from Stansted with the same tickets.

European rail ticketting is very unified, but if you've bought a ticket from Stockholm to Copenhagen while in Germany, you can only refund it in Germany, which is less than useful since at the point you want the refund you'll be in Denmark or Sweden.
