Catching the Warrnambool train from Marshall Station to Melbourne in order to watch Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Because that’s what I do.
Trains
Santa Village and a Sleeper
Husky sleds, reindeer sleighs, Moomins and a sleeper train back from Rovaniemi to Helsinki.
Train to Oulu
Leaving Helsinki for the next two days. Train to Oulu and then straight onwards to Rovaniemi.
Aboard the X2000
First class in the tilt train to Stockholm. Fruit and muffins provided, views of snowy landscapes, iced lakes and country cabins all provided.
Campbelltown change
Had a surprisingly good sleep on the train. Woke a few times, once to see the Moon set and the stars appear in their brilliance. Disappointed that no meteors were to be seen.
Such a nice day that I could have flown, but would not have reached here so early.
Need that change at Revesby for the train to Padstow, then catch a bus home. Then this journey will be over.
Good morning from the XPT
Running 45 minutes late due to weather and the need to remove someone from the train at Moss Vale. Had a few hours sleep, though it took me a long time to cross the threshold. Interesting skies outside this morning and the beauty of rural Victoria, while eating cornflakes and toast for breakfast.
