Well, fancy that! St Malo! With the fortified old town (intra muros) in the background.

Angers - I didn't recognise that as somewhere I've ever been. However, it turns out that I did stop for lunch in Angers in 1992. At the gare d'Angers St Laud, as it happens - though I think not the present structure, seen in your picture. I don't have a photo, nor any memory of the event after 30 years. But then I don't remember what I had for lunch last week (not a "senior" issue; I never could).

With full expectation that one member in particular will know exactly where I was when I took these pictures - the first arriving (late) to form our service and the second at the end of the line ... it had turned around and left back quickly by the time I took the photo.
A typical "triangle" loading service as I call them - starts rammed / nearly every seat taken, many more get off than on along the way, and there's just a handful or two by the end terminus

Not me - although I do have inside information.

Another station I've not visited since it was done up, though more recent. While being built, it looked distinctly Readingesque - does it strike you that way? Or perhaps like Reading would be with an indoor upstairs forest. | Re: "Off on my travels again" Posted by Western Pathfinder at 18:35, 3rd July 2025 | |
Well it's definitely not Taunton .

Or perhaps like Reading would be with an indoor upstairs forest. There's a subway too ... and I didn't go up onto the transfer deck. On my return I had around 20 minutes which was long enough (just) to queue for reservations (which feel like a surcharge - I am now 40 euros poorer) for one of our train tomorrow.
