A cavalier Peruvian finger puppet demonstrates far too much early-morning excitement in front of a train window on which is written "Siège avec vue".

This is silly o'clock. Anyway. I have an #Aeropress ☕ and a madeleine, so all is good. 👍 Choo-fuckity-choo! 🚄 #TGV #Bordeaux #Lille #siegeavecvue #TrainsNotPlanes

Two pairs of train seats facing each other. The window behind them lines up perfectly. The bottom of the window is obscured by graffiti. Through the window: an electricity substation.

#siegeavecvue 🤯

Against a slightly hazy blue sky, snow-capped mountains on the horizon behind brown scrubland. A river runs towards the camera between some trees.

I fear I may have peaked too soon. #Interrail #siegeavecvue #Renfe #Ave

View of a white agricultural building on the horizon at the end of a ploughed field. In the background, fog envelopes mountains against a hazy sky.

No more fog. #siegeavecvue

Puppet reveling in the arrival of a Transport for Wales train in Leominster.

North Herefordshire - green fields, blue skies, as seen from a train.

Everyone lloves a llovelly #TransportForWales Premium service. #Interrail #siegeavecvue

A bridge spanning a tree-covered valley set against a blue sky.

A copse of trees against a blue sky in a blurred field of green

Mountains, trees, blue sky and the shadow of clouds.

View of a charred hillside as seen from a train.

The journey on the #Renfe #Alvia from #Vigo to #Vitoria takes 8 hours and 37 minutes. The first few hours were a bit murky but things become increasingly spectacular as the weather wakes up. There are some reminders of fires.

Leaving Vigo it's probably best to sit […]

Two beige leather seats next to two halves of windows, through which can be seen green land and blue sky.

@interrailinfosvenska Miracle! Mrs Benson (née Hedges) has just come to announce seats 4A-C are free. They're Kafka seats, but as they're not in the direction of travel that's not a problem. Saves me buying Permethrin on arrival. #RENFE #siegeavecvue

Iberian return, day three: Badajoz - Porto No cathedral for you today.

You were warned. Another post! This one has culture and orange trees. Ignore the words and look at the pretty pictures. #Iberia #Interrail #train #travel #siegeavecvue www.siegeavecvue.eu/iberian-retu...

Mountains on the horizon under a blue sky with wispy clouds. In the foreground, yellow fields dotted with trees. A habitation in the middle distance.

Much pretty to be seen from the midday #Renfe choochoo from #Puertollano to #Badajoz. #Interrail #siegeavecvue

View out of the train window of an Italian town with some mountains in the background. Atop the one on the right, a ruined castle can be seen…

So, today is going to be a 12 hour train day. With about 5 hours’ sleep after yesterday’s 5 hours of train in the evening. …after a 9 hour sleeper last night… I’m definitely feeling it.

Thankfully, I have the Castello Abbazziale and the town of Sant’Ambrogio […]

The Norwegian Fjords by Train - Watch the full documentary | ARTE in English Fjords and mountains, bathed in the light of the midnight sun - this is how northern Norway looks on beautiful everlasting June days. The Nordland Railway runs in all weathers from Trondheim beside fjords and rivers up to the Arctic Circle. It crosses the Saltfjellet plateau, ps the Svartisen glacier and reaches Bodø for the Midsummer Festival.

A finger puppet readies to devour a bowl of Currywurst and a pint of Bitburger on an ICE.

Finally getting some hot juicy sausage action in the @diningcar. #DeutscheBahn #VeganeCurrywurst #BeerOnTrains #Interrail #SiegeAvecVue #ICE626

Farmland with green bits, yellow bits, a lot of blue and some fluffy white bits.

I am experiencing a series of Windows 98-esque flashbacks. #SiegeAvecVue #TGV #Strasbourg

View of farmland against a blue sky as seen from a train. On the horizon, a small copse.

Puppet in front of a train window with the hashtag #NoFilter.

Can I get #freestuff for pointing out this egregious breach of the Bas-Lauriol law? Anyway. Wake me for lunch. #TGV #SNCF #SiegeAvecVue

Marseille : la gare sous l'œil des caméras À Marseille, la gare Saint-Charles est bien plus qu'un simple carrefour de voyageurs ; elle est devenue, au fil des années, un symbole discret mais puissant de la surveillance de masse. Chaque jour, des milliers de passagers franchissent ses escaliers monumentaux, traversent ses quais, passent sous les voûtes en pierre... sans vraiment prêter attention aux dizaines d'yeux électroniques qui les observent. Depuis les années 2010, en réponse à la menace terroriste et à la montée des insécurités urbaines, le réseau de caméras de la gare s'est densifié. À cela s'ajoute l'intelligence artificielle, capable d'analyser les flux, de détecter des comportements "anormaux", voire d'anticiper des incidents. Un sac abandonné, un mouvement de foule, un comportement jugé suspect : tout est scruté, enregistré, évalué. Pour certains, cette surveillance est rassurante : elle protège. Pour d'autres, elle pose des questions profondes sur nos libertés. À Marseille, dans le bruissement des trains et le chant des cigales au loin, la gare Saint-Charles incarne cette tension contemporaine entre sécurité et vie privée.

@moof Take photos. I have so far failed to take the train from Limoges to Toulouse. Gratuitous blurry scenery shots please. #siegeavecvue

A stone church and houses with Roman tiles perched along green trees and grass against a blue sky.

I keep nodding off because I had an obscene lunch (those truffles are repeating on me) but occasionally come round long enough to glimpse some serious pretty from the #Agen to #Perigueux #train. #siegeavecvue

Puppet in front of Glasgow Central Station signage.

A seat back table on a train. Brie and red onion quiche served with artistic salad and a red cabbage coleslaw. A glass of sparkling water. A finger puppet.

The river Clyde under a series of bridges, as seen from the right side of a train approaching Glasgow Central.

It is cold in #Glasgow. #Interrail experience marred by children for most of the day. Good yummy #freestuff on the #Eurostar and #Avanti services. Much prettiness from my #siegeavecvue but I had to fight to stay awake so probably missed most of it.

View of a castle perched atop its hill against a blue sky. In the foreground, rows of green plants blur past the window.

#Spain just seems to go on forever, even at 250kph. #Renfe #traintravel #siegeavecvue
