Imported my most precious document into #proton Sheets. Ooh. 😍

Clearing out old emails, stumbled on this gem from 2011. Never got a response.

#thalys
Email from James to Franck Gervais regarding the new Thalys website. "Hello there, I thought I'd take a minute to thank you for the pretty new Thalys web site and for making the simple task of finding out how much a ticket costs a laborious and Herculean process. A triumph of form over function. Bravo."

Casually pining at photos from #morocco at the beginning of the year and I stumbled upon this filth.

Apparently I get extra points for consecutive numbers or something.

Two silver pointy ends of ONCF Al Boraq high-speed trains, kissing, under a bridge, with "1209" and "1210" visible on the trains. Part of Casablanca's cityscape in the background.

The answer is: Patsy would ask the onboard team for ice. #bloodymary

Rummaging through my bag I remembered I'd ransacked the lounge in Crewe for #freestuff yesterday.

It's in situations like these that it is always sensible to pause and ask oneself, "what would Patsy do?"

@bovine3dom I have tea now. Still in Crewe.
A large cup of tea.

@bovine3dom How are you enjoying your Haribo? We've just had the "delayed due to wartime bomb near the train" announcement in #crewe for a Chester train.

"Did you want Sticky Toffee Pudding?" #avanti #freestuff #cake
A morbidly obese Peruvian finger puppet tests the temperature of a dessert served onboard a train. To the left, a pot of Rodda's clotted cream, of which some already adorns a sticky toffee pudding.

"I also have puddings," said the lovely lady.

I do like an #avanti #interrail journey in first class. @diningcar
A dirty little knitted lush prepares to down a large gin and Fever-Tree tonic on an Avanti service to Crewe. A finger puppet squeezes in a cheese board and cake in the Avanti fist class lounge in Euston. Coronation Chickpea and Onion Bhaji shandwich. And wine.

And here it is.

Behold the #eurostar #freestuff.

Lentil, quinoa, red pepper, and curried courgette salad bowl, with a bread roll and a cute bottle of red. Disappointing lack of pudding, but there is some chocolate.

The man in seat 35 was inexcusably rude to the […]

Choo choo. #eurostar delayed by thirty minutes because they were "loading food" - a perfectly reasonable excuse for delaying anything, really. Bring on the #freestuff

My favourite part of the journey so far was when the man picking his scabs was sick over the floor of the metro 4 from Paris Maquis-de-Sade to Gare du Nord. No major delays so far, waiting to check in for the #eurostar. #reasonstogovialille

Jost hostel in #bordeaux. There are people on here who will think this some kind of #trainspotting nirvana and will soon be packing the latex gloves and "moisturiser".

Yes. The door locks from the inside.

Having a coffee and a #cake (sort of) at the l'Hangare next to #thiviers station before my train to #bordeaux. It's an old hangar converted into a nicer environment to wait for a train than the station. There's coffee, cake, and co-working. A good reason to arrive early at the station.
A coffee and a biscuit on a wooden surface in front of a window through which can be seen the platforms and a station sign of Thiviers station. A large open space in an old hangar with wooden flooring, tables, and a bookshelf.
