Going south

Sunday 17 February, full sun. With a Kruidvat ticket and upgrade plan was to explore a bit South Limburg and especially the Arriva trains there. Sometimes due to the sun, taking good pictures was very difficult.

By Intercity to Roermond. On purpose I did not continue to the station of Echt right away. In Roermond I used the half hour for some pictures.

I made a mistake. I thought that Echt had tow platforms on both sides of the track. In contrary. The platform is between both tracks. Nevertheless I got off the train to spent half an hour for taking pictures.

With the next train I reached Maastricht. No many buses due to Sunday. On various lines the electric buses were seen.

Since I deviated from the planning, I was too early in Maastricht. I decided to go by line 350 to Gulpen. There on the busstation I could take some pictures and have a small lunch.

After half an hour and with some food in the stomac I went by line 59 to Heerlen via small villages. This time it was a small bus from the company TCR with number 591. The driver hurried to Heerlen.

Heerlen station is still under construction and for me the most depressive station in The Netherlands.

The Intercity brought me in three hours back home.
