My first FlixBus trip was quite something.

But the Avanti seat is *much* better than commuter rail operator Thameslink , just look at their passenger focus scores! A whole TWO MORE POINTS!

Days like this remind me how lucky I am to be spending a year in Bruges. The Gothic Dreamland.

Happy end of 2024! May your festivities be warming and revivifying.

Always odd getting a train from Stratford international. A station that has never seen a #eurostar stop but sees regular commuter trains that reach 140mph (225kph). A modernist wonder for #highspeed futures that never arrived.

The Poseidon Adventure: the Christmas tree is not only front and centre, it is their only escape.

Thoroughly impressed by the station at Liege- inspiring and bold architecture for Belgian railways.

Thank you! The other attempts were less successful.

Gazing upon Mt Fuji as I speed by on a Shinkansen has been my favourite moment visiting Japan. Will admit to struggling to take good photos at 250km/h thought.

Train cancellations are never good news, but I really appreciate LNER’s app based rebooking process and the clear guidance on what I could do to resolve my journey. #travel #trains #paxex

Shout out to Arriva North east for putting full on wall sockets on their Enviro400 double deckers #buses #connectivity #travel #transport #paninipress #compliant

Probably the most baffling meal I have ever been served on a flight courtesy of Iberia. This is their vegetarian breakfast in business class. The plain savoury crackers was what completely stumped me. I could not have any pastries or additions, because croissants are full of meat ofc.

Hola, is me, Argentina!

Lovely meal service on the LNER first class today despite the strikes, but the seating continues to disappoint. Not only is it quite austere and not terribly comfortable, my recline was broken and about 40% of the headrests had come off. GWR HST first was still peak imo.

I said, hop in.

Very excited to be at the Passenger Experience 2023 Conference ! An interesting beginning to AIX exploring multimodal travel, with an afternoon session sustainability.

Finally got to try out the new Avanti West Coast #FirstClass seats - not bad, but still let down by atrocious service. Funky headrests are unfortunately not enough.
