Day 34 – Sofia-Athens

26.07.2022

Today I will be going from Sofia to Athens, with 1 train, 1 bus, and no bike legs. There is a dinner in Athens to meet with activists.
You can find the background about this leg as originally planned is here. This is part of the South East circuit.
Here is today’s Twitter thread.

#Ormenio station - the final station in Greece. And its only daily train - that arrives from Alexandroupouli and then returns there. No train crosses to Bulgaria. #CrossBorderRail

At least five Class 120 mainline electric locomotives are parked up, never to run again, at Thessaloniki. Used as spare parts donors. These are 200km/h 25kV 5000kW locomotives. Oh and funded with EU money… 🤷‍♂️ #CrossBorderRail

Queues of trucks stretch back kilometres at #calafat #romania today, waiting to cross the EU funded bridge to #vidin #bulgaria. I missed the train to Calafat, so took a taxi, that couldn’t easily get beyond the trucks. So I took to the bike instead… and took a few drone pics.
