NEW video on the main channel.

It's a strange route but during a temporary relocation to Skegness I'd paid for unlimited travel within a certain area so I thought I might as well try.

Next week's should be a more normal for me route and a train company

Barton-Upon-Humber to Skegness by train

And the views etc on all of the '' project Plymouth and Penzance '' didn't reach the views from London-Paris and Paris-London last year.

Same problem with Ullapool-Stornoway

Anywhere that involves going through Brussels. The views via Brussels don't justify the expenditure.

South West England - the turnaround times on the videos were slow, it costs me nearly as much Paris by Eurostar.

- Kennacraig - Islay
The ferry is cheap but I'd have to get accommodation and hotels in that part of the world are very limited and expensive.

It's wild for me - my time is in high demand so I recently took the rather controversial decision to adopt SNCF style compulsory reservations.

Effective 21:00 tonight, responses will be slower than usual and will cut out from time to time.

Disruption is expected of some kind until end of the day 10th of November at least

Made it to Zakopane, and 2 minutes early too! Just 30 minutes behind is another Pendolino, resulting in a rare opportunity to photograph the two side-by-side in a place they've otherwise never been.

What a great trip - now on to the festivities! 👀

At this rate you'll end up doing a Park run in every county that has one

I wonder if SNCF partially financed this

The "benefits" of compulsory reservation, this train has been sold out solid for a month, but on-board there are loads of empty seats available, I even got a table of 4 to myself... 😒
