I was convinced the tram extension to Uithoorn had opened by now. But no, line 25 rather abruptly ends at Westwijk. Guess I have to walk to Uithoorn now.
TFW you look at the trainset number to verify that you’re getting onto the right train since the passenger information system is broken* and it may very well be a delayed train to a different destination.
It still plays the annoying advertising loop, though.
I wonder if doing limited runs of high quality reprints of travel
posters would be a viable thing. Something like: offer a poster for pre order for, say, two months. If there are enough orders, scan it, clean it up, print it, and ship it. Then do the next poster.
@partim I really wonder why not all railway museums do this. The National Railway Museum at least had some classical motives as smaller prints (I think A4), but I don't see them in their online shop now.
@geeeero I didn’t see anything in York. But there is something associated with the people behind it (or was it the London Transport Museum?) that does sell prints from their collection. They just wouldn’t deliver outside the UK when I checked last. Might have changed by now.
I wasn’t planning this, but because the neighbours are having a birthday party, the islands are insanely expensive, and I panicked and couldn’t think of anything better than Train World in Brussels, I might* now get to see Antwerp’s port from a train window.
Might, because trouble is starting already on the high-speed line to Rotterdam which has been closed all day due to a signalling fault.
So far, SAS sent me nine emails for a single one-way trip. Two of them were useful, one more – the ticket – should have been part of the booking confirmation, one more that would have been useful – the boarding passes – I had to ask for. The rest was completely meaningless. I’m expecting two more Please Rate Us reminders in the coming weeks. I did not agree to any extended communication.
