topsGood morning from a wet Lille, starting today at Mont Sants Métro.
Rode it a couple of times this visit but didn't luck out and get to ride the new rolling stock.
The rain means there are no crowds round the sculpture outside Lille-Flandres station. Today's destination is Amsterdam, sans supplément. #CrossBorderRail
I'M ON THE TRANE.
It's advertised on the station boards as going to Cournai but the #Interrail app says it continues from there to Anvers.
No border check between France and Belgium but I did just get my #Interrail pass scanned for the first time on tous trip (day three of four).
Wowsa. Antwerp station is pretty impressive, even if it looks like it's not finished yet. Wish I had more time to appreciate it but there's only ten minutes between trains.
I'M ON ANOTHER TRANE
Lille to Amsterdam and we didn't even need SNCF. Nice #LevelBoarding as well.
Have had two people sitting next to me on this trip using their computer. Both appeared to be using Chat GPT 😳
Safely arrived at Centraal. Pretty decent #CrossBorderRail day, would do again with more time in Antwerp.

It's a lovely station.
Next time you're there, go to the cafe at the top of the stairs on the left. Very grand, inexpensive.
