Rush hour trains at Lille

France - 2013

Lille Flandres was the main terminus station in the city. The arrival of Eurostar services in Lille saw the construction of a dedicated station - Lille Europe. This series of images were taken at the old station which has a grand frontage and an expansive overall roof covering many of the platforms. Sadly in March 2013 most services were worked by multiple units but a few rush hour trains remained in the hands of the ageing BB25500 class Bo-Bo electrics which are the focus of this album.
