Here is a selection of clips from the journey to Moscow from London.
Clips are not played the order that they were filmed.
Dont have much to say about the train journey but here are some photo’s i took on the way.
Statue in St Pancras train station – I thought it was Winston Churchill but turns out its a poet called laureate John Betjeman.
The bullet train from Brussels was amazing! They had a speedometer on a screen at the end of the carriage and i clocked it at around 250 kph.
Changing the wheels from the normal sized european wheels to russian wheels – This was crazy, they were jacking up the trains with everyone still inside and let all these mental wee Belorussian women run about inside the workshed trying to sell you beer and homemade food…
This is what i got off one of the Belorussian women for 10 Euro’s.. 6 Homemade things (Have no idea what they were but they tasted amazing), 2 beers, water and a tub of raspberries..
All the replacement wheels for the trains.
Russian style carriage.
My cabin – was a bit cramped but had 2 good nights sleep in there, was cool lying in bed just watching all the small Polish and Belorussian towns go by.
Crazy Russian Guys – Met the guy on the left on the train and ended up drinking vodka with him for a good few hours one night. He looks a bit hench but was a really cool guy. He wanted me to meet his mates in Moscow for a photo before they headed to Ukraine to go swim in the Black Sea.
