My first trip on an Airbus A220 as HB-JBC did the honours on LX432 From Zurich to Gatwick

@NerdSignalman Yeah the Lions still run in the peak. It was more of a stop over for an interesting plane home as the later flight was an A220

@Dan43004 Nice to see the 450's still going. You're just there to do the Lion sets top and tail. (that's if they're still running!)

Leg one of the journey home. Swiss A340 HB-JMA from Mumbai to Zürich. For half a day here before continuing on home

Well last beer in India at Mumbai airport… What can I say other than… India, incredible as always! Until we meet again!

Last one of the trip…

How are you spending your Monday morning…. I’m spending it walking round the streets of Mumbai

The Grand Ticket office at Mumbai CSMT and the madness of the local Mumbai EMU services

The line from Mumbai to Pune climbs the Western Ghats, climbing steeply from Karat to Lonavla. A trio of WAG-7 locos are provided to bank the train.

VT-RKE took us from Diu to Mumbai

Not a bad spot to sit and wait for the airport to open.

Back on the metre gauge for us to continue our way to Delvada

Other animals seen in the park included Deer, Spotted Owlet and monkeys. All in all a fantastic morning adventure.

But the main event was us coming across a pride, with 7 in total. A truly breathing sight to behold

Today started in Sasan Gir, and a Safari trip to hopefully see some Lions. Our first spot was not long after sunrise…

Veraval Junction. Ready to ride one of India’s last remaining metre gauge lines. A dispute over rebuilding through the national park has seen this little network forgotten about. 6654 waits with the 09:40 departure to Amreli.

WAP-4E 22384 is the motive power for tonight’s sleeper south to Veraval.

Ahmedabad this afternoon.

This morning journey from Jodhpur, heading south to Ahmedabad

Morning wondering as round Jodhpur

Last nights overnight train 19224 from Hanumangarh to Merta Road, jibbing just over 120 minutes late. Luxury AC 3-tier sleeper 🫤 The WDG-4D worked the train to Bikaner Junction for the WAP-4 forward. #IndianRailways
