The same digits but in a different order
 
The same digits but in a different order
Posted by grahame at 06:29, 26th June 2026
 
Today, I'm on the 10:19 from Brindisi and scheduled 19:10 into Milan.   Quite rare for start and end times to be all the same digits but in a different order.   Is this something that happens on any of your journeys?  Or is it something you wouldn't notice even if it did?

While I am at patterns .... Countdown.  "Can I have seven vowels and three consonants please Rachel"



Rather the opposite of Llwyngwril - which is perhaps the only station with GWR in its name

Graham's train, with a link to a map. Bologna in an hour, and once day he'll take a ride on the Porrettana. Or perhaps he already has...

That is a link to the train I am on.  Yes - Italian trains tend to set off on time and loose time along the way.  Due in at 19:10 and I was very careful what I wrote - schedules 19:10, expected perhaps 19:30 to 19:40.   My hotel won't be going anywhere, so delay really does not matter to me.

The thread title suggests some sort of Morecambe & Wise sketch.

Not necessarily.

Thanks for your posts here, JayMac and TaplowGreen. 

Lest there be any of our readers who are unfamiliar with the context, here is a YouTube link to a three minute clip from the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Show of 1971.
