Jon WorthNot a full #CrossBorderRail thread today as I’m not crossing any borders 🙂
But the Birdy is with me for the trip to Nantes via Dijon and Nevers
TER 91373
08:40 Nuits-sous-Ravières - Dijon Ville 09:27
SNCF for TER Mobigo BFC
114.64 km/h average
89.8 km
3 stops
Train type: Alstom RĂ©giolis 6 carriages
Also a quick aside…
What’s with station names in France?
My Intercités later stops at St Pierre des Corps - a station on the edge of the city Tours, but Tours isn’t in the station name
Likewise Les Aubrais is on the edge of Orléans, but Orléans isn’t in the name
But they stuck Challes-les-Eaux (popn 5600) on the Chambéry station name although the station isn’t there
And three towns are named at Le Creusot TGV…
Martijn Geerdes@jon and then there is 'Brussels South Charleroi Airport' only 80 kms from Brussels (a personal anecdote involved, i need not explain)
