I read The Power Broker while commuting by train between The Hague and Utrecht. 80 minutes/day in a quiet, comfy seat! Loved it. Happy reading, Tom, with the occasion glance out the window!
We were in France fall of 2023 and took a bullet train from Paris to Aix en Provence equivalent of going from NYC to Detroit. Took 4 hours and cost about 95€ each.
Have to go to Plymouth for a work meeting next month. From Newcastle that's just over seven hours each way. Alas, the WiFi will be patchy as hell, so I'll not be able to do any work, and will instead have to read a book, look out the window, drink tea and eat cake.
