Bus 3483 heads east on Rue Manin, by the Parc des Buttes Chaumont
Then at around 14.30 it was Metro MF77 no.070 on Line 13 from Saint Lazare to Invalides, followed by RER class Z 20500 EMU no.181A, or 20861 + 20862... these EMU's have two seperate numbers on their ends - the three digits plus letter is the same at both ends, and the five digit numbers are consecutive numbers at either end... I'm not sure which is the 'proper' one!... anyway this was on Line C, and I took it from Invalides to Champ de Mars-Tour Eiffel. From there it was a nice stroll along the Allée des Cygnes (Promenade of the Swans) in the middle of the Seine.
Southbound Line 6 metro train crosses the Seine on the Bir-Hakeim Bridge
Looking east towards the Eiffel Tower, as an RER Line C train, formed of a pair of Class Z 20500 EMU's, crosses the Seine.
After that it was Metro MP73 no.6536 on Line 6 (I'd also had this unit the previous day) from Bir-Hakeim, across the Seine to Trocadéro, changing onto Metro MF67 no.3055 on Line 9, one stop to Rue de la Pompe. From there I walked to Avenue Henri Martin RER station for Class Z 20500 EMU no.07A (20513 + 20514), a two unit train with 180A. This was on Line C and I took it back across the Seine to St Michel-Notre Dame. Later on I caught bus 8146 from St Germain (Odéon) to Gare de Lyon on route 63.
Class BB 36000 'Astride' loco, 36007, at Gare de Lyon after bringing in the coaches for the 19.45 overnight sleeper to Venice.
TGV Duplex no.713 at Gare de Lyon with the 19.53 to Lyon Perrache
From Gare de Lyon it was on to the RER, and another Class Z 20500 EMU no.109D (+72D) on Line D, on the 20.00 to Orry La Ville, which I took to Gare du Nord.
TGV Sud-Est no. 04 at Gare du Nord
Finally, at Gare du Nord it was on to Eurostar 3014 + 3013 (I was in the second front carriage) with the 21.13 back to London St Pancras International.
