Hofstade achieved this morning.

Belgian routes 👍
One last station to pass through, and I’ll have cleared all Belgian railway routes.

I should have already finished them all today, but a cancellation this morning prevented that.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow. 🤞🤞

Malines/Mechelen looks nearly finished. 🙄

This wheel graced my arrival in Antwerp.
Ooh I thought, they’re erecting a ride for the Xmas season.

Nope.
They were in the process of dismantling it, and as of tonight, it has completely gone.
🤷‍♀️
I don’t get it????

As always, a big shout out to anyone involved in setting hand-dryers to cut out after one second. 👍🙄

It’s still a little frosty here in Yves-Gomezee

Not too cramped for the next few nights.

Four double beds to choose from.

This lounge room isn’t even half of the apartment!!!

After 50 minutes, we’re running wrong line back to Noorderkampen, as the Euro appears (currently) unfixable.

The other expresses that had passed us ran wrong line, and after now arriving in P1, the driver will change cab again, before waiting forward permission.
Currently stuck* behind a Eurostar (9133) with brake problems.

*except for the train allowed to proceed that just flew past us, possibly conveying important people on that one!!!

While walking through the park earlier, it made me wonder if a tree fell and nobody heard it,

…will Yaxley-Fauxrage still blame an immigrant? 🙄

This tree reminds me of the last time I gave directions!!!

My tram had a conductor in a cabin. 🥰

It’s gone a bit cold now.

Almost like someone has left a certain type of door open. 🙄🤣

Bad Nieuweschans becomes my 700th non-GB station. 🚂🥰

It’s a two platform terminus station, about 500 yards from the german border.
Onward services to Leer are by hourly bus.

Pleasant enough town that does a lovely tasty cheeseburger at Plaza Bastion. 👍

Groningen station in northern Netherlands is quite a gem. 🥰🥰

Can everyone keep the noise down, Rosie is trying to sleep.
November 12, 2025 at 8:57 PM
Someone has sneaked a herd of drunken buffaloes onto this train!

Oops, my mistake, it’s just a nearby passenger eating a sandwich. 🤪

We await boarding of 9126 to Amsterdam.
