1995 Trondheim 8


 In 1995 the NSB did not just run trains, it had a bus fleet as well. I do not know the situation now. The last bus replacement service I used was a very full mini bus from Notodden to Skien. Just as we pulled away from the stand at Notodden somebody came into view waving at the driver. The bus stopped, they got on, the driver loaded their mountain bike by carrying it above his head along the rucksack impeded gangway until he found enough room. Do not try this at home.

1995 Trondheim 4

A view of the Roros service approaching Trondheim station. Despite the name given to this holiday and any ideas you may have gathered from this blog. Railways have never been a reason my choice of holidays. Yes, I travel by them, visit museums, I have even been known to go in-search of closed lines, but always as just part of my holiday. As anybody who knows me will testify, planning is not a strong point. Although you would never guess that from my photographs. For Henri Cartier Bresson timing was the key. I wonder if he played the drums, or for that matter was Buddy Rich a good photographer?

1995 Trondheim 3

Two Di 5s sunbathing at Trondheim. When one german ambassador finished posting in London was over he presented his english friends with a parting gift of a towel. Another scanned slide, sorry about the quality, but pictures of this class are not very common.
