Phillip Norton In hot water, but making tracks into Mongolia | This is Grimsby: "As we head towards the 1,000km marker post, mobile phone signals are something of a rarity, and my new USB data modem stopped working as soon as we left Moscow.
Without my music and having to preserve the battery in my netbook, I read my Trans-Siberian handbook for a while, planning the next few weeks, and decided to explore the train.
I found it really comfortable, although I was told it was a very old train, and that the newer replacements are much better.
The only thing that was a bit grim was the bathroom – but even then, I've been in much worse.
I tried to get water out of the tap twice in there though, and without success. It had two big cogs above it, which I presumed were for hot and cold, but try as I might, I couldn't get any water out of the tap."
