Smallman1 The sleeper trains in Thailand are absolutely magnificent.

Not so good in India.

I spent 2 months travelling around India by sleeper train (2AC), and really enjoyed it. The 52 hour train journey from Kerala to Agra was amazing.

Suspect I’d find it a bit more challenging now I’m 20 years older…

    Smallman1 I’d end up throwing him off the train, be way too painful.

    We’d probably end up on something like this and like Millsy’s sets it would never get out of 2nd gear…

        Smallman1 Reckon the state of the rolling stock will be make or break for most of the services. Switzerland and ze Germans to get it right, us and most of the ex eastern block countries to turn it into some sort of rolling nightmare.

          bosstrabs Millsy, bringing new meaning to the term ‘train wreck of a mix’.

            Even on a Chinese train, Millsy won’t drop the hammer (and sickle).

            Indian railways sound romantic until you find @rhouses has brought great shame on himself and the rest of the carriage by blocking the toilet 🚽 with a massive shit.

              30 minute debates on wet wipes 😆. Poor joe never be able to stay awake.

              mono-stereo Most of them just dump (pardon the pun…) straight out onto the tracks, so you’d have to really be going some to block ’em…

                My bantz are the heavy rolling stock of the board.

                  mono-stereo Think I have mentioned this before, but I had a mate who managed to block both bogs on a service somewhere between Leeds and Liverpool. Those trains can’t operate without at least one working bog, so they had to stop the train and cancel the service. Bus replacement, the lot. Comedy gold.

                        Fair pair of shunters on it eh Amps? Cwoooar!

                          Millsy dunno that I have ever used the word ‘shunters’ before, but it’s now added to the lexicon!

                            I think those are buffers.

                            The locomotive itself is a shunter.

                            Let’s not get into a ‘modules’ and ‘units’ discussion Dave. We’ll be here all day!

                            I may have used buffers before.

                            Amps Now that’s something worth having on one’s CV!
