I hope to get some more up later this month.<br /><br />I just read your latest report from France over at ERG. Well done getting for getting in le dernier voyage of the CC 72100, they are already being missed by many.. At least the small diesels remain for now. C'est la vie...<br />I agree, it is always a bit of a lottery on French trips. You just never seem to know if the gods of le chemin de fer are going to be on your side to get your haulages in!<br />I'm looking forward to viewing your latest pics, keep them coming.<br /><br />-Yes, you were with some colleagues in the bay opposite me, in the lounge car during our magical mystery tour of North London to access the ECML on sleeper to Oban last year if I recall!<br /><br />Kris.Le Vaubanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805480466928685920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767356804698705776.post-73915948908572805462017-09-03T05:36:37.467+01:002017-09-03T05:36:37.467+01:00Hello Kris,
Sorry for not approving your post soon...Hello Kris,<br />Sorry for not approving your post sooner (I hadn't seen it in my inbox)- Thanks for your comments and I'm glad you enjoy the blog and enjoyed reading about your Belarussian adventure. It's a country that is on my list for someday! <br />I look forward to reading some more of your adventures when you have time to post them. As for France- I've just returned from a weekend with the SNCF and hope to have the report on here very soon! <br /><br />(Yes- I was on the 73's to Oban on a very wet weekend last year!).<br /><br />JamesJameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15313740887569952571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767356804698705776.post-17793292075218393092017-06-27T00:14:39.369+01:002017-06-27T00:14:39.369+01:00Hello James,

I really enjoy reading about your travels on the rails and looking at your excellent pictures too. In fact it was you and several other bloggers that I have been following that inspired me to start my own blog and document my travels; le-Vauban.blogspot.co.uk .<br />I have only just started with one post about my short visit to Belarus, but I do plan on posting more about my experiences both on and off the rails as time permits. I loved reading the trans-Mongolian trip that you and your friend Simon did in 2012, that must have been an amazing unforgettable experience!<br />I still have a mountain of your previous adventures to catch up with. As I also have a keen interest in the SNCF, I must say that I particularly do enjoy reading about your French trips. Anymore planned soon? Get out there and record it while you can as I'm sure you know it all won't be around forever with more units on the way..<br />Well, keep the reports coming, I look forward to the next one.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Kris.<br /><br /><br />PS, -(I think we may possibly have met in February last year, did you ride the sleeper diversion up to Oban with the 73's one weekend??)
