Finished a 2 week trip over land & sea from Belper to the Balkans. Zurich to Graz Transalpin Panoramic, Graz to Split night train & Bar to Belgrade. And we did some non train stuff too! Thanks for the advice especially @seatsixtyone.bsky.social Blog @ Polarsteps www.polarsteps.com/ShaunTreece?...

We've made it as far as France. If you want to see where we go follow us on our trip ‘Belper to Belgrade’ at www.polarsteps.com/ShaunTreece/...

Whilst in Mexico we took the Ferrocarril Interoceanico train from Coatzacoalcos on the Atlanti to Salina Cruz on the Pacific. Despite the HST fleet lying idle.😢 this was an excellent trip on comfortable ex-Amtrak stock. @andybtravels.bsky.social @seatsixtyone.bsky.social @nonstopeurotrip.com

Took Tren Maya Mexico yesterday. From Merida 40 mins taxi from city c to Valladolid 10 mins by bus to centre. Tickets are 2x price for gringos. So why not use the excellent bus which is quicker overall, and half price? 🚆 Or 🚌?

Post a warning. They come once a year and we fear them.

We are currently roaming around the Yucatan Peninsula and had planned to use the new Tren Maya. But crikey, £27 each from Tulum to Bacalar, plus taxis to and from stations! I'm afraid we used the excellent ADO at half the price and no taxis. There's no incentive at these prices.

I was in Ashbourne yesterday watching the #ShrovetideFootball. This is no ordinary game of football and is played between the entire town with the goals 3 miles apart so scoring is rare, but a goal was scored by the downards to give them a 1-0 lead. If you are ever in Derbyshire its worth a look.

The Transport for Wales Manchester to Cardiff service. Well done to Mel and Matt excellently serving freshly cooked food to order. Yes, we agree the best regular service train food in the UK ❤️

So it's Valentines day, almost. And I'd promised Mrs Trainmodder a meal at the best train restaurant in the UK. Let's say we were a little disappointed when the 12.30 Man-Car TfW MK4 set had been substituted 😢

Sleeper cabin user survey please! How did the below sink slide-out table operate? And did you actually use it? @seatsixtyone.bsky.social @nonstopeurotrip.com @paullucas.bsky.social

Off on an adventure tonight with @paullucas.bsky.social 👀 but first it's LNER to #London 🚆🇬🇧 #NonstopEurotrip

We'll be leaving for Mexico/Belize/Guatemala in March for 6 wks of travel. Few trains, but will take the Tren Maya and the Interoceanic, if it resumes. Otherwise busses and shuttles. Any tips welcome. As usual, will post on PolarSteps.

After using BlueSky and X concurrently for a while, I have today deleted X for good. I cannot subscribe to a platform which is operated by a toxic regime.

@nonstopeurotrip.com Hi and Merry Christmas. The Q&A was fun, good luck with the website. We have six weeks in Central America in March and are hoping to take the HST. Do you know anyone who's done it? The ticket website isn't the easiest to navigate. Thanks.

After last year's six month trip from #BelpertoBali we are back in South East Asia again. Less trains this time and more hiking and rafting. Chongqing, Chengdu, Kumning, Sa Pa, Nong Khiaw and now Pai so far. Exhausted!
