Ripe for a trackbed change with a mat for oil...

_{*Lunatic*, n.
One whose delusions are out of fashion.}

The return train was a more recent model, but it had a pantograph problem. It took us down to Ax-les-Thermes, but there we had to get on a bus that took us to Foix, where we had to wait for the next Toulouse train. Half an hour's delay, very well handled with full information from SNCF staff.
