Little engineering trains! 

@MikeFromLFE Oh definitely. Doesn’t need to be dreadful, and a bit of sympathy and humour helps.

Today at Heathrow? Absolutely fine. Security and gate staff been absolutely fantastic. When I went out from Manchester this trip and the last one before, the security staff were also great.

The Sunflower Lanyard scheme hasn’t really been a big thing in Germany: you see isolated pockets of it. But nowhere near as much of a take up as in the UK.

One reason I use the Harwich Hook ferry is because it is so much more relaxed for boarding, alighting and security. I think that’ll be the option for my next trip to Europe.

I hate airports. And especially ones which do not explicitly state what type of security control you’re going to get. I want to be organised and not cause an issue. Because it stresses me out.

Düsseldorf Airport has stressed me out beyond belief. And I am feeling deeply anxious and stressed out now. And have two flights to get through before I go to bed.

Schweißarbeiten!

Tschüss Osnabrück! Wir sehen uns wieder 👋🏻

Pünktlich unterwegs mit ICE517 in Ri. Ruhrgebiet wo ich eine Pause machen, um mit einen Freund zu treffen.

Und wo genau ist Osnaburg windy.com? 
Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzung auf Autobahnen? Nein, natürlich nicht… Unglaublich.

Last train of the day I think: ICE615 züruck nach Osnabrück. I’ve got a Niedersachsen day ticket which I could use a bit more, but I’m kinda tired and think that a relaxing evening at the hotel is needed. Overall it’s been a pretty relaxing day despite the initial diversion via Münster!

Going to take an earlier train tomorrow to Duisburg so I can have some dinner with my friend who lives there. Done check in for my flight to Heathrow and thence to Glasgow.

@Michael Nice! Are you off to Norderney or Juist?
