We utilized the train called DLR and changed trains at Canary Wharf. This train was driverless. I found a very unique amusement in Canary Wharf as shown in the following pictures. The water of the Thames is said to be considerably contaminated, but the canal in the Wharf seems to be clean and several rafts were floating. People were enjoying a barbecue with swimming suits on the raft and some were also enjoying a hot tub on the raft. The temperature was not so high. I wondered whether they didn't feel cold or not. Anyway, they looked so happy.
We got on the tube on the Elizabeth Line to London Paddington. While my wife and I were taking a rest, my daughter and her boyfriend took our luggage from the hotel for us.
My wife, my daughter, and I got on the train bound for Bristol and headed for Bath. The train was made in Japan. I felt pride for Japan's train to run on the birthplace of railroads.
さて、帰りはDLRと呼ばれる自動運転の地下鉄でカナリーワーフ乗り換えでパディントン駅へ移動した。途中、カナリーワーフで面白いものをみた。運河に浮かぶゴムボートの上でバーベキューやジャグジーを楽しんでいる。この寒いのに水着で、，，。
パディントン駅で少し休んでいる間に娘達がホテルから預けていた荷物を持ってきてくれた。そしていよいよ、目的地バースへ。
列車は日立製。鉄道発祥の地で日本の列車が走っている。なんか誇らしい。
