How about a thread about a rather special train, the TMST (Trans Manche Super Train)? This was the project name for the high-speed train designed to link London, Paris and Brussels via the Channel Tunnel when it opened in 1994.

Tonight's tipple: Guava, Apricot & Mango Smoothie Sour by Vault City. Thick and fruity! How many of your 5-a-day?

Couldn't tell you off the top of my head. Especially after a long week! Thanks for the offer though.

Had to replace one of them, hence new one on left.

Bike ride before Brussels: A glorious autumn morning in the Cambridgeshire countryside. Now time for my last shift of the week...

Joking aside, so far, I'm finding this the most comfortable and stylish uniform we've had.

One of my colleagues started singing the Postman Pat theme to me on the platform. No idea why. Have a lovely Sunday wherever you are.

Bonus class 86 content. Sounding superb leaving King's Cross and smelling of warm oil.

The hat is definitely growing on me. Maybe because it's not compulsory for us.

It has been drawn to my attention. I'm going to put in an urgent order for a kilt.

It's got an embroidered logo. Haven't ordered the DMs yet!

Goedemorgen! Bonjour! Morning! It's an Amsterdam train (as far as Brussels) today and the first time wearing our new uniform. Thought I'd give the hat a try. Funny how things go full circle. We had them at the start in 1994. This is my fourth and final eurostar uniform.

It's not every day you see one of these at King's Cross.

We used to have ours in a Portakabin on London Bridge platform. You could hear the announcements outside...

I said booth, obviously. You just misheard it!
