In the end I’m about as cool about all of this as anyone could be. I’ve got a bike to save me if I need it. I can re-route if I have to, and be confident enough to explain things to get my way. And it’s all useful learning for my #CrossBorderRail project.

@jon I can imagine the train manager phoning their colleague "We have a VIP on board, please hold the train".
Do you ever get the feeling you are a well-known frequent customer on these tours of yours?
