Arrival in Volmerange-les-Mines . The basic station is situated in an industrial area outside of town. With its P+R car park, it serves as a bridgehead from France to Luxembourg. There is also a bus stop with a few departures a day. Of course, it is not called "gare" but "douane". There's a train every 30mins. From a tariff perspective, the station still counts as Luxembourg.
#AllIncluxive #CrossRail
Now #RishiSunak has confirmed that #HS2 will have no #northern end, much as the 'rumours' has indicated, who in their right mind would take his 'commitments' to other (replacement) #investment seriously.
How strange that despite all *its* problems & cost-overruns #Crossrail still got built, but something that might (and I know that is a contentious issue) have benefitted the #North has been progressively neutered.
Its almost like our Government seldom travels outside the M25 & then by air!
I can't help but wonder if #London's #crossrail had between two Northern cities, whether it would ever have been built... sure the history of Crossrail was troubled but it *did* eventually materialise.... #HS2, not so much
Train no 4 is a #Crossrail class 345 from London Paddington to Farringdon. Amazing to think this railway only opened a little over a year ago - it is now indispensable to most of my cross-London journeys
