Donji Garevci

3 off, 1 on. At the most desolate hut yet

Prijedor

Proper town. A good number get on and off. There’s a plinthed narrow gauge locomotive here too.

@jon@gruene.social avatar

The line speed between stations here is lower than east of Banja Luka. We don’t get above 70km/h. Still mostly welded track though.

Brezičani

2 off at a solid station surrounded by derelict goods wagons

@jon@gruene.social avatar

The nicest section of the line - alongside the Sana river (and yes, that’s not a typo)

Dragotinja Donja

Men cut wood beside the line. 1 passenger gets off

Svodna

It’s hard to know where the village ends and the station begins here

Donja Svodna

The train stops by the road. There is no station. But 4 get off

Petkovac

Pick an apple when you alight. Or don’t. Because there are no passengers getting on or off. But more stations ought to have trees like this!

@jon@gruene.social avatar

Blagaj

The nearest station yet. Only 2 passengers though

Novi Grad

What is that weird thing between the tracks? It’s a platform! A handful of passengers get on and off, but I’d have expected more

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

The Una line from Bihać meets the main line just before Novi Grad. More about that tomorrow!

Ravnice

Ah. This is the station. I’m not sure what that previous stop was for. Neat hut

Stunning trip. And Mostar has a brutalist station. Needs a bit of upkeep, but quite a building!

Passed the fateful spot in Sarajevo yesterday

And everyone internationally has given Macron too much credit for too long

Ok, he’s more charismatic than Hollande, appears more reputable than Sarkozy, and has more vigour than Chirac

But at heart he’s just as much of a top down thinks he knows best elitist as his predecessors

jon, to random
@jon@gruene.social avatar

This Macron calling an election is such a “I think I know best” manoeuvre.

If you’ve just suffered a defeat in the EP elections, going “oooh I’ll make you go vote again, to back me or not” comes across (to me anyway) as aloof and stupid.

Maybe pause and ask yourself why what happened did happen? Just an idea…

@jon@gruene.social avatar

And to those going “well isn’t Macron being an elitist just how France is?”

Well yes, but that’s at least part why the Le Pen recipe works. She doesn’t come across like that

In the end the elite might run out of road
