When I have the opportunity, I like to indulge in low-speed #train travel around #Europe accompanied by a Peruvian finger puppet which ruins what would otherwise be perfectly good travel pictures. linktr.ee/siegeavecvue

Some snaps from standby (05:01 start). #BehindTheScenes #eurostar Descriptions in Alt text.
Sunrise over St Pancras. A pair of eurostar e320 trains. In the foreground, the 07:01 to Paris which is the second train of the day on the route from London.Box of pastries loaded in the café on the 07:01 to Paris. Old school: Fault finding guide and fault log book in the Train Manager's office of a eurostar e300 train. These are no longer in everyday use but nice to see a reminder of how we used to do things. My colleague's green DM boots as he stands at the doorway of an e300 train. Underneath is a GEC Alsthom builder's plate from 1994.

I visited the #Mezquita-Catedral this morning. The first visit of the day is free at 8.30am. Stragglers can then hang on for 9.30 #Eucharist - if so inclined - for some wondrously vulgar smells and bells, and some hardcore throbbing #organ action.
A finger puppet in front of the interior of the Mezquita Cathedral in Córdoba. In the background, red and white arches and marble pillars.The intricate, ornate high altar of the cathedral in Córdoba. The main focus is the altar, with a decorative gold front on a red carpet. The backdrop shows numerous paintings, statues, and candle holders.  Above, a large chandelier hangs from a vaulted ceiling, adorned with more painted details and stained-glass windows.One of two large pipe organs in the cathedral of Córdoba. The organ is made of dark wood with gold accents, and features numerous pipes of varying sizes, some en chamade. The ceiling is intricately decorated with carvings and arches, and the walls are a light color. A balcony is located beneath the organ, with ornate carvings on the railing.

"Flexitarian, vegan curious", pre-ordered the #vegan option on #Eurostar out of simple curiosity, and it's rather good. It even came with pudding, unlike the veggie option. 🥳 Now working through the baby bottle of organic red.
A Peruvian finger puppet enjoys a feast served on a tray. A bowl of spicy aubergine, hummus, and peppers, served on a bed of couscous. There's a bread roll with sunflower spread, a slightly bland Panna cotta and a small glass of red wine. Oat milk has been provided for the tea/coffee.

My brilliant idea… Stations should have the displays for when the next train’s coming outside on the street, to better advertise the service and coax people in. It’s arguably a more practical place to put it than on the platform.
