Jon WorthMoving day is here. This wall of boxes (and everything else) will go in a truck in Berlin that arrives at 7am. I’ll race ahead by train to be in Ravières ahead of the truck’s arrival there tomorrow morning.
And yes, I know a rail pro avoids Berlin Hbf. But the S-Bahn to Spandau is blocked by something on the track. So needs must 🙂
We’re playing Bahn Bingo here today
- carriage 8 missing
- train running in reverse order
- pretty much every device in the BordBistro broken
Plus there must be a defective toilet somewhere 🙂
BUT despite a police intervention on board we’re on time so far 🎉
Today is really weird
So as to make sure I definitely get to Ravières by train tonight so I’m there for the arrival of the removal truck tomorrow, I’ve left extra time for the connection in Mannheim
Meanwhile my father - en route from the UK to Ravières - is delayed due to a flood. And my partner is still in Berlin arguing with the removers who (wrongly) claim we have too much stuff
And I can’t do much about any of it!
Meanwhile on the Great Western main line in the UK - pic from my father somewhere between Bristol and Swindon. Taken from a train he was in on the other track! 🤯
MJ Ray@jon I think as long as they can see the rail top, even slightly submerged, it'll still run but at reduced speed due to increased risk of ballast movement! I'd expect the Midland Main Line to be having more problems than GWR this week
