I just discovered that you can go from #Munich to #London by #train really really easily:

1. Nightjet 486 departs from Munich at 23:16 (3x / week)
2. Arrives Paris Est at 9:38
3. Take a Eurostar from Paris Nord, they run roughly once per hour
4. Arrive in London 2.5h later, e.g. 13:30

In terms of "active time spent traveling", this is as good as flying (get up early, head to airport, fly, train into London).

It's more expensive though, because capitalism.

Today's historic photo of the day: 41 years ago today, the Southern Aurora from Sydney hauled by GM24 arrives at Spencer Street station, Melbourne, March 19 1984.

The Southern Aurora was Australia's premier passenger #train of the 1960s. Nicknamed the Snora as it was an all-sleeping car train, it was introduced in 1962 when the standard gauge railway to Melbourne opened making it possible to travel without having to change trains at the State border.

Ha, first time in years I've aimed to catch a train on the Glen Waverley line, and it's just been bustituted due to some kind of truck collision. Switched to Lilydale line instead, can switch to the 72 tram southbound rather than northbound (I'm visiting someone between the two lines).

Ten minutes ago the conductor on our #train asked for a doctor, or any medically trained person, to coach 14. Now they just asked the policeman who's travelling on the train to the same coach.

If she makes another announcement asking for Poirot, then we can forget about getting off this train tonight.
