Starting my non-aviation journey to @cop26. First leg on ⁦@SW_Help⁩ 🚂
I can’t honestly say it’s starting very well 😬

The leg of the train journey from London to @COP26 is continuing to be a little on the problematic side …

For anyone who cares for an update on the @LNER @AvantiWestCoast will-we-get-to-COP26-before-it-finishes saga…
We’ve got as far as Doncaster.
Lovely place, but I just calculated only 40% of the way to Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
I hope getting a worldwide climate agreement is easier than this

Location status: York.
This is like being on a real train.
That moves at a reasonable speed between stations 😳😳
@LNER

@lner Pleaae pass on our thanks to train manager James, who’s been nothing but polite, courteous, friendly, informative and an all-round star on this much delayed journey to @COP26. He’s done the company proud.
1430 KX to Edinburgh 🚆

It happened. We got here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
