Title: Realtime Trains sneaks through the Channel Tunnel?
Post by: stuving on August 17, 2022, 19:52:41
I was entering a station name into RTT today when I saw some French names in the list of suggestions. On closer examination, these are places Eurostar services go through or to: Paris Nord, Lille Europe, Brixelles Midi, Amsterdam CS and Schipol, etc.

Other names look (without checking on them) look like places en route, depots, etc. Since there are no ES trains, you can only see the names by guess-and-enter. Some names do look a bit, odd, though - such as Paris St Lazare. Would that be a diversionary route? I'd have expected Paris Est. But then there's also Rouen, Dieppe, ... and Longuyon?? What other plans might be afoot, I wonder.

They might be there to monitor the progress of 1X01 early on Christmas Day...  ;)
