Tales of dreich - I
All the weather forecasts told me fibs. Not one warned me of heavy rain that day of arrival in Basel. Showers, sunny intervals, for sure, but not shirt-drenching stair-rods. So I sought refuge under the canopy outside Basel SBB station, waiting for the rain to abate, photting the frequent procession of the BVB trams in the interim. A Siemens Combino glides past as a city-bound older unit enters the Bahnhofplatz interchange. The MAN bendybus at the right has just arrived on the service from Basel-Mulhouse Airport (which is actually on French soil).
