You’re a bit early Sprout ....the trains not even pulled into the station yet
I'm out and about and waiting.

I used to love Tarrant's radio prog on Capital Radio, it was hilarious
Baz posted:I don’t normally like him much Twickers ....but enjoyed his last railway programme

I was once boarding a ferry at Dover and the Orient Express was standing in a siding....I wanted to smuggle myself onto it

Zurich is soooo clean
Failing Grayling could take a leaf out of running the Austrian railways
Baz posted:Yes
Belgium is the same
Baz posted:Kaytee posted:Baz posted:I love Zurich , and the surrounding region

Yes
A lesson to us all. Hold the money and don't get involved
Sprout posted:Failing Grayling could take a leaf out of running the Austrian railways
Tbh all the European railways, clean,fast,on time and much cheaper than ours
Baz posted:Now I found Belgium a bit smelly
maybe bleach, it was a synchronized scrub at 8am and no dog poo in sight
Baz posted:You can look again Dame
you should see me crossing the Pyrenees, I need to be brought back to life
Baz posted:Dame_Ann_Average posted:Baz posted:Yes

Much cleaner these days, although the area around the main station is a bit grotty

You can't beat German or Austrian ones for punctuality👍
To say that's dangerous is an understatement

If ever you're in Tenerife and someone suggests Masca....just say no!
I've played snowballs on top of the St Gothard

No....it's an up and over with sheer drops and no edging 😂

Went by road ...over the top and down into Italy
Baz posted:I love Lake Lucerne too
Awww😍😍
Kaytee posted:No....it's an up and over with sheer drops and no edging 😂
I never went and so pleased I refused, I've been to Tenerife countless times and avoid the volcano I think the lake is in the valley below
Kaytee posted:Baz posted:I love Lake Lucerne too

Sadly it was all with my ex .....could never persuade Mr B to go ....he preferred warmer climes

The volcano isn't that bad compared to bloody Masca...

I'll never know I hate heights

Baz posted:You mean Nat Geo Wild ?
Ignore me Baz, Kaytee was on the case BBC4
When I first went to Gib...I got up as far as the apes.At that time the way down was by cable car....but it stopped a way off the cliff face and the walkway was narrow and a sheer drop down....no way could I walk along it so we proceeded to try and walk down...got rescued by two nice soldiers who took us down through the military base, otherwise I would still be up there
Baz posted:That’s a long journey
at least we are staying in Spain

We left the car at La Linea and walked across....no Taxi tours back then either, been many times since on Med cruises but usually a duty free fag and booze run 😂
I hope I meet that bloke on a train, he's well prepared
