Feeling the British 🇬🇧 influence in St-Raphael. This road (Avenue de Valescure) features driving on the left and a gastro-pub.

Probably the last time I pass this way before the axe falls. Nightjet at Paris Gare de l'Est with portions for Berlin and Vienna.

Fortunately Oui au Train de Nuit are on hand, campaigning against the French government's removal of subsidies.

Paris–Vienne & Berlin disparaissent : la France devient la risée de l’Europe, écologie de façade, train sacrifié.
🚅 Les trains de nuit Vienne-Paris et Berlin-Paris ne circuleront plus dès le 14 décembre "après le retrait des partenaires français", a annoncé la compagnie ferroviaire autrichienne ÖBB lundi dans un communiqué.

ORR recently published letters from each of the train companies applying for Temple Mills depot access.

The Virgin letter is very detailed, even includes a proposed timetable and fleet detail.

According to DB Navigator, my train to Hamburg is going via Nykøbing F and then presumably on a boat 🚢 (it's not).
