I would not contemplate a bus for that distance (shudder).

But, anyway, we have InterRail passes so I’d like to use them!

We will if forced but I’d really prefer not to.

The immediate response by DHS last time was to irrevocably tamper with the evidence - by driving it a literal one thousand miles from the crime scene. No one should trust any evidence in the Renee Good shooting that DHS touched, given this history!

On the other hand I’m learning so much from the tricky bits that, in a self flagellating sort of way, I’m quite enjoying it.

In one way it is quite frustrating. So they have only just added direct trains between Seville and Granada in the last week in Feb in the last week. So I had already booked the journey, but changing at Cordoba. That said, there’s only about 6 mins difference in time.

I use 61 extensively. But even that magnificent resource doesn’t answer these questions.

I feel as if I should preface any 🚂 question with “ Yes! I have checked Seat 61!”
