Further European Adventures with Bob Branch

For further information and bookings please e-mail Branchbob@outlook.com

Good Morning all,

I thought it might be an opportunity , especially with North Wales on the horizon, with Michael and Peter from Berlin in attendance, to let you know of our future plans. Please remember that they are only plans and not set in tablets of stone just yet. However due to the complexity of planning, travel arrangements, and financial costs involved I thought it wise to let you in on the game plan, so that at least the shock won’t be too sever, after all we aren’t getting any younger.

I am sure Michael and Peter will answer any queries that you may have, or even suggestions, with the below trips on offer.

Early March 2016 Saxony. Although this trip is fully booked if you were interested we may have a cancellation prior to February 2016 and we could add you to the tour.

Late April 2016 Poland. Details from me if interested, see below.

Mid October 2016 Saxony. Bad Muskau and Zittau , details have been circulated however an additional day may be added to this trip. So yet another invite shortly into next year.

Early February 2017 Harz. Tour almost fully booked, however for your information Richard and myself are going to Wernigerode for a meeting with Tobias in late February next year to discuss all our options. Expect freight trains, Vintage Railcars and lots of extras.

September 2017 Furka. Yes I know some of you are aware of a trip and Michael and Peter are working really hard on putting our own tour together for your benefit. We are looking at four days if possible with multiple engines and stock. Two things which must be stated, the first is reasonable health, it’s high altitude and steep mountain sides! Secondly this ain’t going to be cheap, so fore warned is fore armed !

Early March 2018 Saxony There are a couple of railways that must be done and Kipsdorf is on the radar.

September 2018 Cumbres & Toltec plus Durango & Silverton , maybe another for good measure as why go all that way for one week ! And that’s me done boys, make the last one a big one.

There will be other Tanago trips within Europe and I will keep you advised. If you are per chance interested in any of these offerings then please let me know.

Cheers

Bob
