Two weeks in France, Spain & Switzerland. Highlights in Spain were the use of a 333 throughout from Canfranc - Madrid, a 319.2 between Madrid & Valencia via Cuenca and a 333 between Valencia and Gandia (the letter two being exclusively DMU since then)! I made three attempts to get different CC21000 dual voltage electric locos and had CC21004 on every attempt!

A five day trip to Germany, mainly to sample the München S-Bahn "Doppelstockwagen-Test" on route S4 between Geltendorf - Ebersberg. 120.151 & 120.153 worked on each end of four Dutch double deck carriages, some very lively acceleration was sampled, and very unusual to see a loco hauled train in the S-Bahn platforms at München Hbf

A nineteen day trip starting in Italy and moving on to Greece. Highlights involved the 220s on FSF & FP commuter trains, the "pre-arranged" (fixed!) use of 1020.018 (former German E94.01) on D297 from Villach - Jesenice, a couple of days on M61s on Lake Balaton, M63s in service and my first sighting of a BDZ 07-02 on crew training on the Kulata line in Bulgaria. The few days in Greece saw lots ALCO action, hampered by a few strikes!
