Interesting old machinery, would be business class back in the day!
What train did you travel in ?

Hanuman · 25-07-22, 06:14 AM

We used the train once, here.

Big old diesel eclectic. The station that we alighted from the train- locally, that means climbing down the ladder, 4 rungs, and dropping the last several feet, consisted of a 2 sided building- that’s a wall and what passes for a roof; The ground doesn’t count- and a bench.
It wasn’t bad, to be fair. Ticket was optional. I found this out after paying.

The return journey could have been coordinated by British rail. Train cancelled- wrong timetable. Come back tomorrow.

Is the train definitely running tomorrow?

Maybe. We see tomorrow.

From what I can tell, rolling stock doesn’t wear out here. It either dissolves in place, or just never comes back.

Just dropped by and seen your pictures of trains and family....my goodness it has been a long time and great to read your posts Mark.
Hope the flying is still enjoyable , still 737s or have you moved onto other types ?
Only flying here is in my dreams now....sad but true. ATB, Frank.

Hi Frank. Thanks.
It’s been an interesting couple of years. Still on B737. I suspect I have a bit more fun than many!
New project coming up, but I’d rather be home more, now.
