TER
Sunday, October 18, 2009
“TER” stands for Train Express Régional and denotes the intra-area train network of the SNCF, the French railways. This morning, we were waiting at the truly hideous Cannes train station for the TER to Antibes, three stops or ten minutes away. Above us, we could hear the traffic rumble on the Voie Rapide, the wide and busy roadway that cuts through town (special note to Djukel: this station was not designed by Calatrava, and it shows). On the other hand, the train itself was a pleasant surprise: clean, comfortable, and empty, at least on the upper deck. We arrived at Antibes train station on time; this one is an improvement over its Cannes counterpart, especially since they changed its color from bird-dropping yellow to a shade of red a few years ago.
