After my bocadillo de patatas y tea and pastry for breakfast at Irun station, I'm now on the train - very spacious and modern but the internal lighting is much too bright to easily see the Pyrenees slipping by outside.
The guard has been through with complimentary headphones but no complimentary "those black bits of cloth that Victorian photographers used to use" that I could attach to the window so I could see the scenery.
Since typing the above, I've discovered the train bar (for a cup of tea of course, it's only 10.30 am) The lighting is less harsh and the decor light and airy - stainless steel bar rails and granite type bar tops against the windows to lean on and take in the passing scenery. It's a lovely feel of
being on a modern 80% empty train on a weekday.
