TAR14 EP1: 'Don’t Let a Cheese Hit Me' (Switzerland)
apskip:
Neobie, of cource Apskip could be right about Milan as one of two arrival points in Europe.
This information has been there in Timelines (doesn't anyone look at them?; if not then I'll stop doing them) for months(note that airport means Milan Malpensa below):
Shuttle bus leaves airport Arrival in Bellinzona at Connecting train leaves Arrival in Locarno
12:30 14:20 14:39 14:58
14:30 16:20 16:39 16:58
An alternate train from Bellinzona(not in Timelines) is:
dep. Bellionzona 1630 arr. Locarno 1657
It fits the data better. The one arriving Locarno 1713 clearly does not.
Neobie:
This train station is not Bellinzona, nor anything between Bellinzona and Locarno. According to the SBB Online Timetable, TiLo trains from Bellinzona to Locarno always leave on Track 2. You get a good view of Sector C Track 2 at the end of this video, showing the platform for Tracks 2/3 to be an island platform. Jennifer/Preston are on a side platform, well at least an island platform with a wall. The stations between Bellinzona and Locarno are tiny ones, none long enough for this platform.
And if the clock is right, Preston/Jennifer did not come from Italy. Now the signs behind are Swiss ones, which leaves us the stretch between Chiasso and Bellinzona (map here). The S10 is the only TiLo train running this route, and it does so every half-hour. At the times x:52 and x:22 (give or take 3 minutes), the stations the S10 arrives at are Como (Italy) and Melide (Track 3, which we see here to be on an island platform). So it's none of the stations down that stretch.
Darn it, did I just eliminate everything? :duno: Or are the clock and the train two different clips altogether?

Remember, they are tired, they are hungry and they are running a race, tempers are bound to flare so I really wouldn't judge someone from 1 clip.

Conflict is good. I need a new death stare and I hope Jennifer gives me a new one. :lol:
