Recordist's notes
Chartres station - Several trains make their take in and off on the adjacent platforms 2B and 6 (do not try to understand). I recorded 3 trains. First, a train incoming Chartres station, terminus. After, it's a diesel engine connecting Brou and Courtalain villages. The locomotive makes a terrible noise. Then a conventional TER train ensures the connection between Chartres and Paris-Montparnasse stations. Along the platform, lively conversations take place. 0:00 - 3:00 - The quiet waiting room of the station. 3:00 - 4:10 - The main hall of the station. 4:10 - 5:30 - Incoming train from Le Mans city. 5:28 - PAPA !!!!! 7:30 - 10:45 - Outgoing train to Courtalain village. 10:45 to the end - Outgoing train to Paris. 16:38 - AYOU !
