Swindon to Saigon
07/09/2022 @ 17:45 - 19:00
John Sreeves
Thames Valley Section hybrid meeting
Synopsis: We departed Swindon on 1 August 2018 and arrived in Saigon 11 weeks later. Believed to be the furthest distance one can go from the UK by continuous railway, the journey used 43 trains on three gauges to pass through 12 countries, 10 capital cities and 7 time zones. Estimated distance 9000 miles. All connections went according to plan and were punctual with just one exception in Vietnam being two hours late. This talk provides an insight into route choices, planning, diverse infrastructure and railway operations, with a sprinkling of history and politics!
Meeting in-person from 17:00 for refreshments courtesy of the PWI for a prompt 17:45 start.
You can also join the meeting virtually through Microsoft Teams.
