I like public transport, especially timetables. Also other things.

Have been experiencing Renfe for the first time in a while today, from Santander. It is amazing how confusing they have kept things here. Cercanias trains C2 and C3 leave from the old FEVE station (as they are narrow gauge), using platforms 9, 7, 1, 2 or 8 from L to R. So do Regional trains. 1/

The way the road network is there, you generally approach the FEVE one first, which to be fair does have some indication on the outside of its restricted offering, but Google shows them all as one, and the route diagrams for the Cercanias imply Santander is all one station. 3/

Cercanias trains C1, as well as long distance trains, leave from the broad gauge station which is almost next door, using platforms 2, 1 or 5 (L to R). Neither station shows the departures from the other one. 2/ .

I'm a bit late to this as have just dug it out, but of no surprise to anyone who knows me, this is where it all began for me. What do you mean you've never read a 1464 page timetable book cover to cover? You're missing out!

Back home, and found my Christmas present from when i was about 10: The Cambridge Encyclopedia. It will surprise none of my followers to learn this book is my origin story.
