It wasn't until we got to the SNCF station that we realised that the "train" was a bus - not a long distance coach but, a bus. There was a notice telling passengers that the 10.18AM train to Amiens was changed to a bus - just for this week ...
We decided to wait for the next train - 4 hours - and it was worth it. An excellent fast and quiet trip through brilliant green farmland and forests. Obviously la Manche isn't wide enough - the country side in Normandy and Picardy is exactly like the UK ... beautiful.
After a quick wander around the shopping area next to the rail station and excellent help form the Tourist Office next to the cathedral we had our bearings. Time for dinner and a quick Monopix ...
It's better to travel than arrive ... then again ...
