Gisteren een half uur te laat op training omdat iemand het leven niet meer zag zitten en besloot dat te beëindigen op de lijn Antwerpen - Mechelen. De Belgische spoorwegen zijn een dagelijkse bron van frustratie, maar blijkbaar is dat in Frankrijk niet anders, vraag maar aan Nicole Begg (...en zo gaat het toch nog een beetje over skeeleren):

Last night I arrived in Paris after a 12 hour flight from Hong Kong. I stayed the night in Paris and caught a train this morning to Bordeaux. The train journey was supposed to take around 3 1/2 hours but ended up turning into a long 6 hour journey. All was fine until about 30 minutes out from Bordeaux when the train suddenly came to a stop in the middle of nowhere due to an electrical malfunction. All the announcements where being made in French and no one seemed to be able to speak enough English to tell me what was going on. An hour and a half later everyone started moving towards the front of the train so I just followed along like a sheep. We then all had to walk about 1km along the track to the next little railway station. It's ok having a 30 kg bag when you can drag it along behind you on wheels but that doesn't work going over loose stones. About 30 minutes later a train came to pick up all the stranded passengers and I finally made it to Bordeaux.
