London to Prague, by train. Anyone done it?

[SebastienClement]

I have been tasked with working out a trip to Prague by train later on this year. For reasons outside of my control, flying is not an option.

This seems to be the best route that I can come up with so far:


One night in Cologne - which is a city that I'd like to see anyway, and then a long stint to Prague the next day. My only reservation is a 3 minute connection on the way back (6 mins on the way there) at Schwandorf - although it looks like the trains we'll need are either side of the same platform.

Has anyone done this trip? Any recommendations?

Thanks!
