Brilliant to see @tchesshyre.bsky.social's Slow Trains Around Britain reviewed in @thetls.bsky.social last week!

On 200th anniversary of 1st public steam railway (Stockton & Darlington), the HS2 fiasco looms large. Back then GB led the world, now an international ‘laughing stock’ (as reported this week). All covered in ‘Slow Trains Around Britain’ (often v slow)! 🚂

Home of Cervantes & briefly Spain’s royal court - with tapas joints galore (annual festival), sculpture galleries & cheap hotels, in Castile de Leon, north of Madrid. Laurie Lee didn’t like it (‘I don’t ever wish to return’), but that was ages ago! #spanishsecret #tapasheaven

Good news, it seems European Sleeper may have found a train path across France for their planned regular Amsterdam/Brussels<>Barcelona sleeper (I wasn't sure they would). But running it from Amsterdam is in doubt, may have to start from Brussels. nltimes.nl/2025/02/15/a...
