Train!!

Susan often laughs at how excited I am when I see a train, and she is probably justified in doing so.

So imagine my surprise when she got excited and called "train!!" as we were driving to the dermo's about a month ago. She was justified though - it was a train travelling from Loches to Tours, and although we have lived here for over 16 years, we have never seen a train on the line. The lack of trains has been a source of discontent for many years.

However, we have now seen a train on the line to Loches, and here is a photo to prove it.

Last year SNCF experimented with a hydrogen powered train on this line, but that only lasted a month. This train consisted of two X73500 class diesel railcars.
