An there they are, the passport controllers. Having a cigarette
And they’ve also not changed the locomotive. It’s still the Bulgarian one up front. That has to be done too
Processes *in parallel* anyone?
There are two TCDD dudes prowling, three customs dudes that swept the train now also now out on the platform smoking, and two border control dudes also still smoking. We’ve all been off 25 minutes.
Some passengers are getting agitated now, asking what’s going on.

@jon Normally both sleepers should meet here at Kapıkule and swap their locos. Has the other one already arrived?
@jon And more important: Are the station's cats still there?

I don’t have a #CrossBorderRail category “The border procedures need to be fixed before you even think about more trains here”
But there you go. This is a first!

Also we had to all take all our bags off
What are they going to get us to do with those bags once they’ve checked our passports?
Check them all? If so that’ll take an age
Check nothing? Well then why did we carry them off?
And there are no bag scan machines in sight here…

Meanwhile another TCDD guy has turned up. With a köfte.

Ah no. The smoking dudes on the bench aren’t the passport controllers. That’s another guy. One. To check a whole train.
And his PC currently won’t start.

@jon people next to me are now laying around and taking a short nap
And I am getting eaten raw by mosquitoes 🫠
