Final leg underway

Rolled into St Pancras at 14:17, made it across London, and now settled into a quiet First Class seat on a GWR IET heading back to Bristol. Everything lined up perfectly and it feels great to be gliding west for the last stretch.

After weeks of rails, borders, and night trains, home is in sight. Due into Temple Meads at 16:35.

Rolled into Paddington right on time. First leg complete and the rhythm of the journey is setting in. Next up is St Pancras and Eurostar to Brussels, then the real fun begins with night trains and Central Europe ahead.
Still very much #BetterByRail. No flying, just watching Britain slide past the window and enjoying the feeling of actually travelling, not teleporting.

Do I know anyone who is MIET or otherwise involved in the IET?

I was thinking of standing for council and need ten supporters.

Let me know if you're interested in having me represent you.
