VR - Never A Dull Day!

A train-day. I have nothing ecxeptional to tell about the Finnish Railways, VR:): Again in the morning all the rails and trains and passangers were re-organized at Tampere station today...

You really had to check twice to be sure where to go.

In the wall signs the train-timetables changed so fast, that it was possible to travel accidentally to Pieksämäki or to Oulu instead of Helsinki. People were smiling and wondering where they should find their trains...

I decided to choose the old Intercity train to Helsinki, as they normally function ok. And the mess seemed to concern again the new Pendolino -trains only anyway.

So I in the end I happily sat in the Intercity-train, but before the train left Tampere, the conductor of our train called all passengers that: 'good morning, this is an Intercity -train to Helsinki. Not to Oulu.' :) :) :) (Oulu is in northern Finland, Helsinki in south)
And at the same time some of the passengers left quickly the train...

Travelling with VR is fun, never a dull day!

The blip is on my way back, from the bus stop at the main street of Tampere, Hämeenkatu.
