Where are you on the transport network?

earlier today, somewhere between romford and dagenham



(a special event - there's usually 2 or 3 somewhere in london each year, today's was mostly 1940s/50s buses, but included one from 1937.)

Yay Greater Anglian Engineering works Sunday service. Almost exactly like the bullet trains in Japan last Sunday…



Still could be worse, I could have stuck with the two replacement bus services….

i also used the whitechapel to stratford new bit of the lizard line for the first time yesterday but the scenery wasn't really up to taking a picture...

Another day another not particularly good rail service. Still at least TL still declassify one of their first class coaches.

Back by loch ness on the A82. This didn't used to be a double decker bus. Isn't the modern world perplexing.

I note that you have deliberately cropped out the Loughborough Junction area.

Thameslink, how I’ve missed you…

As everyone on this thread loves an airport lounge, here’s a fairly exclusive one at Heathrow T3…




It’s busy as the airport’s very busy Friday evening first day of the school holidays…

Decent lounge, Amstel and Moretti on tap at the manned bar, lovely selection of food. Would recommend

And a very nice Rioja…

Nice way of casually dropping the way you have a plat Amex (business expensed?) into the chat

I didn’t know Amex had their own lounges. Do they let in any first/ business class passengers of any airline who don’t have a metal Amex card?

It’s only metal card holders in any class. They only have them in the US, LHR and HKG.

I meant to post this while in Laos obviously, but I've just been sent a story from the Laotian Times which has prompted me. The story is about out of control fires in Laos as farmers burn their fields and the toxic haze it is causing. And how it is affecting even Chang Rai in Thailand.

When I left it was terrible, I just didn't know at the time what was causing it and thought it was some sort of weather phenomenon.

So here's a rather eerie looking Luang Prabang railway station.



And this was my last view of the Mekong in Luang Prabang (the Mekong is definitely on the transport system)



There are tall mountains in that picture. Except you can't see them.

Left Laos with an appalling cough by the way.

That’s what Prince Andrew would say.

now home in berkshire about 1.20 am, having broken down on surrey bit of the M25 some time round 9pm

involved highways people sending a recovery vehicle to get me out of the way (fortunately it was just after the roadworks bit so there was a hard shoulder i could get on to) - they took me to cobham services, then RAC man in van came and agreed it wasn't fixable at the roadside, then got recovery vehicle from there.

considering it was evening of bank holiday, could have been worse.

front offside spring broken (i think i went over a bit of a bump or something but spring must have been tired) and tyre is showing signs of going soft but didn't go bang

blaaaaargh
