Title: Security - plane v train Post by: grahame on May 17, 2025, 12:13:54 BBC story of a journalist given the wrong boarding pass, not picked up by gate passes, and the kerfuffle that ensues. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3q5kqj80vo . Can't help contrasting it to the mode I'm in today - "I think I'll get on that train", find its time and put in in my planner. Took the 10:00 out of Amsterdam which has a Berlin destination. As Lisa is still in the Amsterdam relaxing for the day, I got off at Amersfoort and am now on a local train - oh, never mind to where, the point is the contrast in security. Their has been a brief ticket check, but being asked for ID on these trips does happen but is rare as hen's teeth!
