I had hoped to see a few 218s this trip but circumstances meant that I didn't hit Munchen with nearly as much time as I expected. I was also chin-strapped (Army term - imagine you are so tired that the only thing apparently keeping you upright is the chin strap on your steel helmet :) )
<p>But then, as i was about to go find beer and sausages I saw a pair of 218s appear. I had, of course forgotten, the regular EC pairs, 2x218 in for 2x218 out and I just had to wait. Apologies if I overindulge in pics here, this may be my last 218-pair given I'm unlikely to get to Germany until the end of next year or even the following one.
</p><p>Conny was the absolute icing on the cake.

218 428 and 218 463 arrive from Zurich while the pair wait to back on. Then <b>218 401 and 218 460</b> – shown on this picture, left to right – back down, couple up, before powering away with the first pair following up the platform.
