| Paris' Gare du Nord features several massive analog departure boards; at 5:36PM it shows 20 trains leaving over the next two hours. The board shows TGVs, Eurostars, Thalys and regional trains for points in Northern France, England, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands. The three blurred lines are shown being updated as the individual letters flop over in a quick and rhythmic "clap-clap-clap" noise. |
