Note B: EXPRESS. Runs once a week, leaving Bamako on Wednesdays and arriving Dakar on Fridays. 1st class couchettes (4-berth compartments), 1st & 2nd class seats and bar-restaurant car. Note C: Runs on Tuesdays & Saturdays only; Note D: Runs on Sundays only; Note E: Runs on Sundays only; Note F: Runs on Mondays and Fridays only; x = train stops at this station, but please check times locally. Dakar to Bamako is 1,230 km (768 miles). There is currently no train service between Dakar and St Louis. Exercise 21 (Group Work) In groups of 3, discuss the following excerpt from a travel journal. Comment on the differences in American and West African travel. Discuss advanced preparations for train travel in different regions. The Dakar-Bamako 'Express' (previously known as the 'Mali Express' or sometimes known locally as the 'Mistral International') has 1st & 2nd class seats plus 1st class couchettes with 4-bunk compartments. It also has a bar-restaurant car selling drinks, snacks and inexpensive meals. Previously, when the service was twice weekly, one set of Dakar-Bamako coaches was provided by the Mali Railways, the other by the Senegalese Railways, both originally bought second hand from French Railways. The Senegalese train was considered to be the significantly better train, with stainless steel coaches that allegedly once operated the Paris-Nice 'Mistral'. You will need to get your passport stamped at each border post. It may be taken by an official on the train, but you have to collect it yourself by going to the police office at the border, although you may not be told this. If your passport is taken, ask where and when you have to go to collect it. Expect a final arrival at your destination anything from 4 to 12 hours late..! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
