Another ridiculously early start got me to Gatwick for easyJet’s 06:25 Praha flight. Arrival was 20 minutes early and I was on the road by 10:00, heading for the hills north of Liberec, Arrival at the Hotel Zamacek, in the heart of downtown Raspenava, was just before midday.
The afternoon was spent lineside, near Raspenava at first and then near Oldrichov v Hajich. A series of thunderstorms accompanied by torrential downpours ensured that I didn’t stray too far from the car. As well as a lack of light, a lack of freights prevented any worthwhile photography. All that was seen was a pair of light engines.
The passenger service on this line is 100% unit and operated as expected with 814.203 + 914.xxx + 814.204 and 814.211 + 914.xxx + 814.212 covering the hourly locals and 810s on the peak hour extras.
Oh well, hopefully it will be better tomorrow.
