Welcome to the final part of my UK trip!

On Sunday we went to Swale to take some photos of he railtour to Sheerness on Sea.

In the morning, we made some photos at London Victoria, we even took one of the VSOE:

30 minutes later, the train was on its way back, hauled by 37248:

On our way back to London, we had to change in Sittingbourne. Unfortunately I recognised the train too late:

In the evening, we went to Langley to take some photos of some HSTs.

The first train that came by was an "Adelante":

We went back to our hotel after those shots. On Monday, we took the 7:09 Waterloo-Paris Eurostar to Paris where we did some sightseeing:

In the evening, we took the TGV to Strasbourg (90 minutes late) where we took the sleeper back to Vienna.
We had planned to do the tramway in Strasbourg too, but this wasn't possible because of the delay...

Alltogether, we did 3383,1 miles by rail in those days (London Underground and ELR miles are missing)

I hope everybody enjoyed my pics, although it took me much time to edit all of them...

In the end I would like to say "thanks" again to "theblackwatch" who helped me a lot with my plannings, without him, there wouldn't be the photos of the Spitfire or Nenta tour ;)
