Just added some more photos from my trip to Slovakia. The gallery is at http://www.world-railways.co.uk/gallery/gallery.php?id=237 Bratislava is a hot spot for the ageing class 240 electrics but sadly sees only a few diesel hauled trains. I have just booked to go again in August to track...

I have generally had no problem anywhere in Europe in recent years. I started photographing steam in Europe in the 1970s mainly behind the Iron Curtain. In those days life was much more difficult and you could be arrested in seconds after taking a photograph. The lessons learned then still help...

I have just returned from a visit to Bratislava in Slovakia. I was amazed at the amount of loco hauled trains at the main station (Hlavna Stanica in Slovakian). Traffic is in the hands of locos dating from the 1960s onwards. I had no problems with photography and railway stafff were friendly...

The 760mm gauge electrified line south from St Polten has returned to normal service earlier this week after a few weeks of partial closure for ungrading the mountain section of the line. During this period of closure all the power was off and all trains diesel worked. The following gallery...
