I've just started to give myself Sundays off for leisure pursuits so I think it'll be a trip to Tours this weekend. A few years ago whilst on holiday in France I remember visiting a friend whose garden backed on to the main Tours to Nantes line and I recall seeing a train pass by every 10 minutes. I always promised myself a trip to that area again so here goes!
I'll keep you posted.
Tours (St Pierre des Corps) has a SERIOUS main road along side a long stretch of the yard as I found out due to a diversion off the A10 one year
