Sweet memories of life on the rails

It is two months since our train odyssey, and the rocking motion of the train has been replaced by restless nights awaiting early morning business flights around SE Asia. Train travel beats air travel. No question.

Air turbulence is uncomfortable. Unless you know you will end up on Lost Island, it is unsettling. Even with the best airport in world at your doorstep (changi) and the worlds only decent airline (Singapore airlines), I would rather be getting on a train. possibly any train other than British rail - why did the uk intercity trains in the 80s and early 90s smell of raw sewage? Come to think of it, why do some uk cars with catalytic converters smell of rotten eggs (handy excuse at times i suppose).

Anyway, as can be seen on this site (right hand pane,under photo gallery) I have finally uploaded a small selection (127 in fact) of photos from our hong kong to Scotland train trip.

Enjoy.

As we were yawning, this morning, down came our awning. The rain pulled it down.
