#CrossChannelRail : final leg of Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
So #LNER made sure I had time for a real 
espresso (and lovely #baklava @Lebanese place) at #YorkStation by organising a 20min signalling problem in #Doncaster. No worries, this us #England and not #France: there are departures to Harrogate every 30min throughout the day.

plenty
untested–forgot adapter in previous train 
a problem as there are no curtains!
#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
Thanks to #eurostar delay, no waiting in #KingsCross. Could check platform from #nationalRail live board, had QR code ready, the only thing was to jump above Mr FirstOut who had built a wall of suitcases at carriage door - then remember, twice to the right in #StPancras.
#LNER #London #Edinburgh : have reservation at front of train, I stopped midway. that's alternating current 
ish

#CrossChannelRail : Day 2, #Lille - #London - #York - #Harrogate
Waiting in #LilleEurope :
although understaffed today
#Eurostar : Good in France, none in tunnel, poor in the UK 
20 min delay "due to operational issues" in #Rotterdam
I have a 30-min connection between #StPancras and #KingsCross, could still work… Staff announced delay and went thru carriage, I could get a Railteam delay certificate (not sure it's valid for my #LNER train, but worked last time)
#CrossChannelRail : #Grenoble - #Lyon - #Lille - #Londres - #Leeds - #Harrogate
Day 1, second train: #TGV #Montpellier - #Brussels
busy 
block doors but not next to me (aisle)
Next I'm staying overnight in #Lille. I need to be in #Harrogate midday tomorrow. #Flying from Lyon or #Geneva wouldn't have been better: starting from #Grenoble, not doable in a half day, so I'd have started today too and have had to stay in a more expensive hotel at destination tonight.
#CrossChannelRail : #Grenoble - #Lyon - #Lille - #Londres - #Leeds - #Harrogate
Day 1, took 1h earlier #Grenoble - #Lyon #TER as the scheduled connection time was 16 minutes. Seems I would have done it though :)
There's a later TGV today I could have taken if I had risked & missed, but would have had to handle the ticket change.
Train half full No Clean 
mostly on spare seats Not tested
Waiting in #LyonPartDieu Not overcrowded, found seat Yes Not working
New personal best for a first try!
(1 hour 30, enough for 16th out of 16, but shush what matters is I'm improving)

It's that time of year again when I crawl out of my hole just in time for #thoughtbubble in Harrogate.

This is an easy, simple countryside ramble from Ripley, between #Harrogate and #Ripon in #NorthYorkshire. Pleasant countryside views. Note the car park there is now to be paid for (I need to correct text)! Route details at tinyurl.com/yc7v6vv8
I won't be at AireCon in Harrogate today, but my partners will be, and they'll have my 2DS. So if you're going and you want a chance at a legit StreetPass in 2024, remember to take yours too :)
