Route 991, 992 and 993
Readers may remember fbb teasing them about the "bus" routes 991 an 992 showing as running along a flash of white on the Copenhagen network map. These are the principal city river bus routes, actually one route but with different numbers for each direction to avoid confusion as they stop at the same piers irrespective of final destination.
The river service started in year 2000 and has a fleet of seven boats, six are required from Monday to Friday operation.
On Saturdays, the frequency is an irritatingly unmemorable every 45 minutes ...
There does not appear to be a timetable for the 993 which shuttle across the river ...
... serving mainly tourist and leisure destinations. All river buses are now electric powered, charged overnight ...
Unlike in London, the river services are all part of the multi-mode city and beyond common fare policy. There is no premium for travelling by water as it outer be on the Thames.

Quorn Quality and a Query
A dedicated band of volunteers is committed to restoring and operating goods trains on the Great Central Railway between Leicester and Loughborough.
The team has done a lot of work on tank wagons ...
... fettling some up to look as if they were newly delivered. One such is this c/o Quorn.
Another in similar livery has its home on the Derwent Valley Light Railway at York.
Either way, fbb is becoming slightly obsessed about European four wheel tank wagons in his favourite colour.
More to come, surely?
