Eek! If it's not Austria, Switzerland or the Netherlands I would never trust a 17 minute connection ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
I'm not sure if Croatian Railways hold connections or not
End of the line for the Chasewater Railway and the end of the line for the walk that was over 10 miles in total ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™‚๏ธ
A Pacer lurks in the sidings
Made it to Brownhills West Station
A bit of a bonus as I wasn't expecting to see a steam locomotive pulling a rake of Mark 1 carriages ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿš‚
Followed the Railway round on the paths running close to the line
We ended up at the Chasewater Railway
We carried on walking to the misty Chasewater Reservoir
Walked up a stairway next to the bridge and wasn't expecting to find a canal at the top of the bridge ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
Right at the end of the walk came across a section of old track still in situ
Met up with @kiteexplores.bsky.social in Walsall and walked the McLean Way which is the old disused railway line to Brownhills
I do like Hebden Bridge Station โ˜บ๏ธ
Had a nice afternoon revisiting Hebden Bridge as its been a fair few years since I was last here
Lots of independent shops and a Market in Hebden Bridge, even Del Boy was here ๐Ÿ˜‚
Plenty of Mill Chimneys in Hebden Bridge
It was a very nice walk along the Rochdale Canal from Todmorden to Hebden Bridge
So last week was Dutch Canals and this week is the Rochdale Canal
The only positive is at least Snรคlltรฅget are still running night trains on that route
I've narrowed it down to either Prague๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฟor Zagreb๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡ท
I see they've rubbed off the graffiti from your last visit there ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‰
So at the Railway Museum in Utrecht on Saturday I queued up outside a mysterious door which slid open and led me to a ghost type of train ride and I managed to video the whole thing ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ
I noticed a few buildings have been sympathetically restored in Kortrijk which is nice to see, very tourist friendly with good signposting everywhere ๐Ÿ‘
๐Ÿ˜ŠTrains to Lille Flanders are still running
