Questions
How much is the train fare?
If you book now, it’ll be roughly £230 - £250 depending on whether you’re booking a return.

How do I book tickets?
Read our guide for train jammers for a step by step booking process. ​

Is there Wifi on the train?
Yes! There’s Wifi and generally good signal on the Eurostar, TGV, and in Gare de Lyon, where we’ll spend most of our journey.

What will we jam on?
Whatever you like! Along the way we’ll contribute to OSS projects, or hack on fun and interesting ideas.

I’ve never taken the train in Europe. Is it hard?
Not at all! Taking the Eurostar and TGV is very smooth. The difficult bit is booking tickets (see How do I book tickets? above). The most tricky part of our journey is crossing Paris via the metro, and we'll do that as a group.

Why are you going a day early?
We’re going in time for the Scala Days workshops and Scala Bridge. If you’re not attending either of these, we strongly encourage you to spend the day hacking together, or to join in other events. ​

I want to go by train, but can't take this one. Are there other trains I can take?
Of course, although you might not be with other jammers. Our guide for train jammers has some alternative journeys already planned out.
