Hi,Welcome to the start of a fantastic roundtrip through Great Britain, booked based on the Great Britain II -special which would cross the island within 8 days behind a selection of steamers from Penzance to Kyle of Lochalsh. However, a friend and I didn't just want to chase the train, we also were planning to visit… (more) several museum railways and beautiful spots for regular traffic. That way the experience would be much more complete, and the photographic gain much higher.Sadly we missed the first day of the Great Britain II, since SkyEurope like always (with me) cancelled the morning flight to London.Our itinerary for this part:FCC = First Capital ConnectGWR = First Great Western4/6/2009Vienna/Wien Mauer dep ~12:10 Strassenbahn 60 -> HietzingWien Preyergasse/Speising arr ~12:20Wien Speising dep 12:27 S2 -> Wien MeidlingWien Meidling arr 12:33Wien Meidling dep 12:42 S1 -> GänserndorfWien Südbahnhof arr 12:48Wien Süd (Ost) dep 13:05 ÖBB 1014.010 REX 7617 -> Bratislava PetržalkaBratislava Petržalka arr 14:03Bratislava Petržalka, Markova dep ~14:46 Bus 96 -> LetiskoBratislava Letisko arr ~15:20Bratislava Letisko dep 18:20 ~18:50 SkyEurope 126Luton Airport arr 19:40 ~20:00Luton Airport dep ~20:45 FCC Bus -> Luton Airport ParkwayLuton Airport Parkway arr ~20:51Luton Airport Parkway dep 21:16 FCC 319 -> BrightonLondon St. Pancras arr 21:52Kings Cross St Pancras Underground Station dep ~22:10 Hammersmith & City LineBaker Street arr ~22:15Baker Street dep ~22:25 Hammersmith & City LineLondon Paddington arr ~22:30London Paddington dep 23:45 GWR 57 -> Penzance-----------------------------4/7Exeter St. Davids arr 4:42Exeter St. Davids dep 5:35 GWR 142 -> PaigntonDawlish arr 5:55Dawlish dep 7:20 GWR 156 -> PenzanceThe video for this part:http://steamtube.ning.com/video/the-great-britain-09-1-southDuring that day the line from Vienna to Bratislava hl. st. via Marchegg was closed, so we took a train to Bratislava Petržalka.
