So change of plan and I stopped off at Carlisle to await the (also delayed) 13:01 London Euston to Edinburgh service. Always a few interesting things going on here though.

2nd leg up to Glasgow, though unless we make up some of this delay I'll be jumping off at Carlisle!

Another adventure begins today with Royal Diamond taking me up to Crewe on the first leg.

Well I'm still going! Unfortunately, due to a signalling fault on the Wolves - Shrewsbury line all trains are cancelled. So I'm routing via Crewe which has added an extra 1.5 hours to the journey!!!

Mark Swain @letsmakeatrip.bsky.social · 11/06/2025
Journey back to Shrewsbury by train starts now: the 09:25 ICE from Duisburg. I wonder what time I'll get back? 🤔

I am on the coach today - Lux Express. One of the best European operators in my opinion.

First and last time I'm staying in a capsule hotel. A truly horrible experience!

Abandoned steam locomotive in Kraków.

I think this was my favourite train from the Kraków trip (from the outside anyway).

So my LATAM 787 was swapped for a WAMOS Air A330! What did I think of that? I'll tell you in an upcoming video. 🫤

Took this pic in Buenos Aires the other day. Being in South America atm gave me a few more hours to celebrate #YNWA #20 😊

Mark Swain @letsmakeatrip.bsky.social · 24/04/2025
Had a few flights with LATAM now and they have been consistently good. Next up will be their dreamliner from SCL - BOG and I really ought to be filming it.

On the Belgrano Norte line today from Retiro to Villa Rosa. Loco-hauled, open-door rides there and back. Fantastic!

The trip over to Uruguay is well worth doing to get out of the city for a while. Such a contrast!

Lots of interesting railway stuff in Colonia del Sacramento.

In the Sala VIP Lounge at MAD with a lovely glass of white Rioja. Plenty of time until IB267 which will take me as far as Sao Paulo tonight.

Leg 6 (I think) heading west on the tube.

Mark Swain @letsmakeatrip.bsky.social · 14/04/2025
Leg 3 and for a bit of a change, I'm going to try the 'cheapest way to get to Heathrow' experiment!

Mark Swain @letsmakeatrip.bsky.social · 14/04/2025
2nd leg on this quiet and efficient London Northwestern Railway service down to Euston. Both legs (Shrewsbury to London) for £16.60 booked 6 days in advance. Can't complain at that price!

Mark Swain @letsmakeatrip.bsky.social · 14/04/2025
Right, off to Argentina. First leg: Shrewsbury to Birmingham New Street on the Transport for Wales Class 158. Let's do this! 💪🇦🇷

Trying to keep my feed on here free of political reposts etc which may mean one or two unfollows. Apologies, but I don’t want it to end up like Twitter did.
