My Swansea train seems to be pretty long

frank python
#

Especially when before, both trains were usually covered by HSTs.

frank python
#

Fairly standard length.

Shame you weren't in Bristol Parkway for the 0835 departure towards Cardiff...

#

As that's run by a pair of 110mph commuter EMUs

floral cradle
#

Oh

I can get a train later

But I don't really want to be here too long

@pseudo pasture very good man here

He's shouting at people to stand back

The later train is no use, you wanted the earlier train 😂

"Nice Nature" you said as you were passing through the Industrial Wasteland of Margam and Port Talbot 😂

More double track

frank python
#

It's a nothing line in the middle of butt fuck nowhere

It doesn't need or deserve more double track

The French would double track and electrify this

The French are idiots though

I'm deviating from my plan because the other train is late

So I wouldn't make my Crewe connection

Ok Edinburgh service first

#

It also syas you need reservatiosn on french TER busses, TerGV services and on Ns IC brussel, among others.

floral cradle
#

17:26-18:04 Avanti West Coast Crewe - Liverpool Lime Street

frank python
#

In systems, Avanti and LNER show as reservation only, but both have unreserved coaches and don't require reservations.

floral cradle
#

Silly

frank python
#

If it makes you feel better Rico, the last time I reserved on either was during peak Covid when they tried to enforce it...

#

So not reserved in about 2/3 years.

floral cradle
#

Hmm

#

Reservations are free anyways but I don't like the site and effort

frank python
#

Yeah, that's basically correct.

#

Although you can get away with no reservation on the Sleeper...

I'm not sure this is my train but I boarded this

#

Wait is this just the GWR train but in different colours

frank python
#

Yes

#

And it is your train too

#

Oh nice, you get to experience a 319 this evening, on the 1920 arrival into Liverpool

floral cradle
#

I don't know what that means

#

I hope I don't get pranked today

Because these lines are all pretty infrequent

Everything in the UK is like mildly delayed

Too much traffic

frank python
#

I mean, as I said before, welcome to travelling during an overtime ban.

floral cradle
#

It's not too bad

frank python
#

Other than TPEs 9 bazillion cancellations

#

Tbf, the only bit of your plan I have any concern about is that connection in Barrow

floral cradle
#

I'm kinda surprised that isn't connected through

frank python
#

Two entirely different fleet of trains.

floral cradle
#

I can miss this

#

But it would mean being 1-2 hours late

obsidian perch
#

you want this on a two and a half hour sneltrein

#

Also does the UK wait for connections

frank python
#

Yeah, you end up with a long connection in Wigan if you miss the train from Barrow.

The departure from Liverpool is pretty cool

Big tunnel and cuttings, yeah

The line you travel on between Edge Hill and Ordsall Lane Junction in Manchester, is the original Liverpool and Manchester Railway route too, that opened in 1830 with Rocket.

floral cradle
#

Very cool

Newton-Le-Willows

frank python
#

If you look to the right of the train as you leave, there's a stone memorial to a guy who got killed on the first day of trains on the line.

@floral cradle all the info I have shows it as a runner

Hmm nice

Google maps bad I guess

#

Tbf it makes mistakes all the time in nl too

frank python
#

The train that forms it is on the way too, so I don't currently have any concerns

#

It's gonna be late to Barrow, as they're waiting on crew, but that won't impact you

obsidian perch
#

Google maps is useless yes

#

in Frankfurt their just don’t have the correct timetable for the sbahn

#

in Athens the buses were also wrong

floral cradle
#

I think it can be kinda useful

#

Especially in cities where you're not familiar

#

You don't want to download a dumb app for a city you're not staying too long in

verbal bay
#

All countries should just make a app like SNCF, where you can also find all the city bus maps etc

floral cradle
#

I don't like the SNCF app

#

NS app is the best one I've ever tried I think

You just have to get used to it, its very different then others but once you get used its fine

You've stopped for longer than you should at pretty much every station so far...

floral cradle
#

Why did someone request drigg

#

Kankerhond

frank python
#

Because they want to use it...

#

That train can take being 7 late at Silecroft and still make Barrow just 1 late.

floral cradle

Hmm let's hope so

Seems to be a Friday thing with that train and being late 😂

But as you can see, your connection went on-time

#

It's got a train 2 mins behind it at Piccadilly is part of the issue...

#

Then there's a train 3.5 mins behind that

#

And another 4.5 mins behind that...

#

And another 2 mins behind that

#

So you being late just fucks it up

Imagine like

#

If they connected this through

I already accepted I'll be an hour late

This will work right

Let's hope Liverpool city center isn't dodgy at night

No point anyways..

Hmm

The Barrow - Manchester's are effectively designed as Express services

#

The Carlisle - Barrow/Lancaster are all stops...

floral cradle

Also just considering this

#

You don't want to connect these.

floral cradle
#

Because I'll be too late for dinner anyways

frank python
#

Take the 1846 from Lancaster to Wigan NW, arrive 1917, take the 1953 Wigan NW to Liverpool.

#

Saves walking across Warrington

#

And gets in ebfore the second option.

floral cradle
#

Hmm

frank python
#

If you're speedy, you could also make the 1921 from Wigan NW to Liverpool

floral cradle
#

Why doesn't the site think of this

frank python
#

Because the sites are stupid

#

This is why you need a Pilot

floral cradle
#

Thank you pilot

#

I kinda want to get out of barrow

There’s a good chance I’ve been on that train

Assuming that shuffle them about that is

I don’t really know how all that works but I’ve been on plenty of 156s

floral cradle
#

Nice

#

Legroom is non existent

sullen rover
#

Yeah

#

I’m only 180-183 and i feel cramped in them

Busses are far worse

I'm 193

Oh I just read this as pebdolino

It's a few minutes late though

frank python

Which means short Wigan transfer will be difficult

#

How many do they have

frank python
#

Just 1 Pridolino

floral cradle
#

#

RARE

frank python

I mean...

It's 1 out of 56, so it's not mega rare

floral cradle

This line is amazing

Got kicked out of my seat

Zakspoor?

#

@frank python can I take seats that are reserved but have no sign of anyone sitting there

frank python
#

Yes

floral cradle
#

Even in coaches that aren't C

frank python
#

Yes

floral cradle
#

Like all seats are reserved

#

But the train is half empty..

#

I got a bad seat without a window now though

#

But it's only like 20 minutes to Wigan

frank python
#

Online booking apps will sell open tickets but with specific reservations.
So lots of people will travel on different trains to the ones they have a reserved seat on.

floral cradle
#

This seems incredibly inefficient

#

This is kind of stressful when people keep walking by looking for their seat

#

But I only need a short hop

#

Oh Wigan is the horrible double station

#

UK mess

unkempt gazelle

Oh yeah that’s eww

But visually it reminds me of 60s DMUs

frank python
#

Ricco, just take the 6 seater

#

You'll be fine

floral cradle
#

No

#

I still wonder what I'll do tomorrow

Checkout 11am

#

Flight from Manchester at 6pm

#

This is pretty annoying

#

Maybe just chill in town ig

#

I shouldn't have gotten an evening flight

#

I'm dumb

frank python
#

Go to Manchester and do the trams

floral cradle
#

That's a good idea

#

Guy asked a northern guy if this train is going

#

"I don't know mate I'm not the fucking driver"

#

Why aren't we going

#

I think the fucking driver just pulled up

verbal bay

You could explore liverpool. hotel probably has soem bag storage service

It's prison hostel

So I don't know

frank python

Driver is here

He just walked away

This country is malafide

"there's an argument among train staff"

The driver is gonna drive anyways

Nice

I wanted to do Scotland but didn't have enough time

Another time

neat ether

It's kind of funny tbh

#

Can't remember what the frequency was at that time

#

But they were on one of the most intense services around

floral cradle
#

I liked UK

#

I'll probably come back

neat ether
#

I'm glad

floral cradle
#

But this will take like one or two years

neat ether
#

Seems you enjoyed the scenic lines

#

The British people are bad but oh well

#

Just try avoid them

floral cradle
#

Because it's annoying to get to and it doesn't seem like a fun place in winter

#

They weren't that bad

neat ether
floral cradle
#

Yes

vocal kindle
#

Shit

#

I only have time to go in winter

floral cradle
#

I only have 2 months of summer holiday and 2 weeks of winter holiday from uni

#

But in winter you have Christmas and New year's so you can't really go

#

Plus I'm working

vocal kindle
#

I can't exactly care about new year's

floral cradle
#

It's too early to make a summer 2024 plan

vocal kindle
#

Neither can my parents

#

I'll UK I think

#

Yes

#

It is

#

I only made my summer 2023 plan in June

#

And finalised it 3 weeks ago

floral cradle
#

I wanted to go intercontinental and for that you need a bit more time

#

But it depends on how I'll see this by then

vocal kindle

I'm not going intercontinental until after diploma

I'll have to decide in like January

verbal bay
vocal kindle
#

I should visit Sydney guy

floral cradle
#

My family celebrates Christmas

vocal kindle
#

So does mine

#

but my mom has said that she doesn't mind if I'm gone on new year's

verbal bay
#

just say you wont this year. idk

floral cradle
#

But Christmas is less worth since my grandma passed away I think

#

Don't really care much about random uncles and cousins

vocal kindle
#

We only do with like real close family on mom's side anyway

#

Not random uncles from dad's side who are very random

floral cradle
#

I'll just see how it goes

#

Australia doesn't interest me that much yet for how much time and money it costs to get there and stay there

vocal kindle
#

'straya is cool

#

but 'spensive

floral cradle
#

I don't know if it's really much more expensive than like UK or France

vocal kindle
#

it's mostly getting there

floral cradle
#

Indonesia seems cooler

vocal kindle
#

it's only expensive if you like live there

#

yeah

#

it is quote cool as well

floral cradle
#

They use dolaridoos

vocal kindle
#

Which are less worth than USD

floral cradle
#

It's 40% less than euros

vocal kindle
#

Yes

#

So the numbers are high

floral cradle
#

UK is kinda scary

vocal kindle
#

Everytime Sydney guy mentions prices I have to adjust that it's AUD

floral cradle
#

This is bad

sullen rover
floral cradle
#

Because 1 pound is more than 1 euro

sullen rover
#

Ooo

floral cradle
#

But my brain thinks it's 1 euro

vocal kindle
#

Before Brexit it was even more

sullen rover
#

Yeah

floral cradle
#

Because it's still like the same order of magnitude

sullen rover
#

Yeah i can see how you might find it easy to spend more then

floral cradle
#

But yeah I'd probably do southeast Asia before Australia

#

Or maybe even Korea or Japan

vocal kindle
#

I don't really have a preference

floral cradle
#

These places still have direct planes

#

Canada seems cool too

#

South America too

vocal kindle
#

Yes

floral cradle
#

But this is still kind out of my comfort zone

#

Longest vacation alone was like 5 days or so

vocal kindle
#

I'm about to do my first one alone longer than 3 days

#

We'll see how this goes

sullen rover
#

I wonder what my max would be

vocal kindle
#

Going straight for 14 days

sullen rover
#

I’ve done 8 nights vacation alone

vocal kindle
#

I guess i'm not fully alone because Copenhagen guy but that's not a lot of time relatively

sullen rover

And I’ve lived alone for a few months

sullen rover
vocal kindle
#

Yuh

sullen rover
#

Will you send train photos Isforme

vocal kindle
#

of course

#

There will be a thread

floral cradle
#

4 days is the amount of time from which I'll go insane

#

If you're lucky you can kinda meet people so you're not really alone

#

But this is kind of random

vocal kindle
#

Yes

#

You are not guaranteed this

#

I'll see

floral cradle
#

Alone is nice because less gezeik tho

verbal bay
#

Just go a random few days fisrt. Alone is jsut getting used to and finding your way around to do stuff

sullen rover
#

When i learn to drive i don’t mind giving a lift to people from here if they need to get anywhere and it’s not too out of my way

vocal kindle
#

Berlin in 2021 was also not fully alone but I want to pretend that I was alone

#

Complicated story

#

I don't do lifts

#

The car is my comfort zone

sullen rover

Wdym

vocal kindle

I like how every UK station has like a guy who's job it is to open the gates for people

sullen rover

Ohhh

vocal kindle
#

Yes

#

Stations taff

sullen rover
#

Yeah fair

floral cradle

But they don't even look at the ticket

Ridiculous density of Irish pubs here

neat ether

There's quite a lot of Irish heritage in the Scouser identity

floral cradle
#

Interesting

neat ether
#

Iirc there was a lot of Irish immigrants due to poor treatment in Ireland by the British rulers

#

But I might have made that up

#

Referencing visiting Asia from earlier

#

I'd probably say Malaysia>Indonesia

#

Still very cheap

#

But I think there's less active war

It's like semi express

Not 100% about the red door

Why is the door getting so much hate

neat ether
#

Probably better black

floral cradle
#

British people are brainwashed

neat ether
#

Idk with the rest of it white it looks a little harsh

#

WMR livery is better

sullen rover
#

yeah the fact that the door is red doesnt help

#

yeah that one is far more tollerable

neat ether

The overall styling is very cool I think

#

Probably my favourite latest gen MU tbh
