Dining on trains: why is the experience so different across Europe?
There is an interesting split in the philosophy of how to eat on a train in Europe. Some countries have dining cars with proper sit-down restaurants, whilst others offer standing-only café-bars. Anyone with an idealised vision of French food who dreams of French onion soup at 300 km/h through Burgundy is bound to be di

La única unidad del S-443, automotor eléctrico de cuatro coches y pendulación activa capaz de alcanzar los 180 kilómetros por hora, se pudre en una vía muerta de la estación de Castejón de Ebro. #SilentSunday
Un tren automotor de los años 80 abandonado en una vía muerta, oxidado y cubierto de grafitis, y rodeado de maleza. Está pintado en amarillo y marrón, y el testero es aerodinámico y tiene tres ventanas.

#Toulouse has shutter stops in the form of little tiny people. Someone has been decorating them as "little clowns", dinky little pieces of #streetart, and they're gorgeous. #StreetArtToulouse Found via streetartcities.com/artists/petitsc… while pottering about.
A small metal shutter stop, painted to resemble a thief dressed in black with a cap and eye mask is affixed to a textured, light-colored wall. Next to it, on a red brick wall, is a white rectangular tag with black lettering that reads "@petits_clowns feat @laffiche_dans_la_rue". A small Peruvian finger puppet is enjoying the art.In a brick wall, a weathered, white cast iron shutter stop shaped like a bust of a woman with a hat, mounted on a brick wall beneath a pale blue, peeling wooden shutter.

I think someone at #Eurostar has put me on a list. "Can't choose a wine? Try them all!" #Vegan #freestuff option is an Orecchiette salad with aubergine, peppers, and poivronade followed by a melon, pineapple, and pumpkin seed salad with five spice. The three wines are organic.

Gemini prompt: "Behold this amazing finger puppet who travels #Europe on the #train. Create something beautiful." 😍
A close-up shot inside a vintage, wood-paneled European train compartment. Sitting on a plush blue velvet seat is a small, hand-knitted finger puppet character resembling an old woman with white hair, wearing a green coat and a red-and-white striped scarf. Next to her is a tiny, weathered brown leather suitcase covered in travel stickers of European landmarks (like the Eiffel Tower and Colosseum), a miniature compass, and a tiny train ticket. Out the large train window, a scenic, misty European countryside rolls by, featuring rolling green hills, vineyards, and a historic castle perched on a distant hilltop. In the foreground, a passenger's hand rests on the edge of a small fold-out table holding a sleep mask and a glass of water.

I have ended up with an embarrassment of spare interrail days so I'm having an emergency holiday to use them all up Leg 1 & 2: Nice - > Ventimiglia, Ventimiglia -> Genoa This line never gets old. Has to be one of the most spectacular coastal routes in the world. 1/
A crowd waits in the morning crush to Monaco from Nice. The Regio2N has to be one of the worst designed trains for commuter service. The time it takes to empty in Monaco is incredible. Narrow corridors, far too few doors, steps and choke points everywhere insideVentimigliaThe regional train to Genova bathed in the morning light. There are services roughly every hour alternating between regional services and compulsory reservation "intercity" services, although on this route there's little difference in journey timeA shot of an Italian town across a river with mountains in the distance through the train window.
