Leiden -> utrecht by train

[pepper_airborne]

I travel this bit everyday by train, so i decided to take some photographs of it for you guys, i hope you like it!!

Leiden Centraal in the early morning hours, a VIRM is entering the station on the left(he didnt go as fast as the photo suggests )



My own ride entering the station with a ten minute delay



A dirty Plan V/T(depends on the config) also know as the 'mat 64', the year of it entering active service. This one is located at utrecht Centraal.




Little birdie hopping around the station eating bread crums and other remains. in the background you can see the carriage of a VIRM



And that handsome looking fella is yours trully!!




Here are 2 more shots from a SGM II, also know as a Sprinter(Runner) deu too its high acceleration. Mainly used in the suburban lines between cities. The second is a VIRM that just arrived at Leiden Centraal.

It's not that bad, ive seen them a whole lot worse! Although this one does rank up pretty good.

Nice shots! of the place I was this morning also... My leaves from where the train is moving in your first shot on the right...

Also the building with the blue rings of light in shot no2...... Is supposed to represent a Shuttle launch platform

not untill you sit in one of em . Although there not that bad, only a bit cramped, and im not a big fan of the seatings. nowadays il just stand the 40 minute ride out, keeps my mucles warm too for the following walk/bike ride .


Souchiro:

You must me in the sneltrein Amsterdam/Schiphol then . Leaves at a a quater too and past each hour .

and yes, that building does look rather awkward, try looking up at the inner roof of the station in the evening or morning, they project light beams at it, sometimes making it look rather eerie.

Good old double deckers!

I love it how when you use the toilet it simply 'releases' its contents onto the track. I was quite shocked when  I saw sunlight and gravel whizzing by when i'd finished my business!  ::)

Yeah, quite funny, although peeing whilst standing is not very easy to do, but it beats sitting down on them i suppose .
