Wie geht's?

Since returning from Vienna, we've been riding the rails, pretty much on a daily basis.

I'm going to miss the trains when we return to NZ and get a vehicle again, but in the meantime, with four weeks to go, I'm enjoying being without a car and using public transport.

First up is a ten minute walk to Caterham station; during the week Southern branded trains are regular (and reliable), so it's a 50 minute journey to London Bridge. We take up a double seat, I sit facing backwards and LOML likes to face the direction we're heading. Is there a metaphor in there?

At London Bridge we transfer to the London Underground and go deeper under the world (I love this - another metaphor?) - then it's a choice between the Northern line to Bank then Central line into central London, or further north to Angel and Upper Street, or else it's the Jubilee Line to Canary Wharf then Dockland Light Rail to Greenwich or...the combinations are many!

The longest we ever have to wait for a train at any of the tube stations is 2 minutes. That's pretty remarkable.

Here's to you, rail network!
