And you want to know if some official people will get on the train
to look at your bags?

How quaint

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic, but it's just another term
for
left-luggage.

Not in Europe.

You knew what he meant.

To be honest, initially I didn't.

Well, you learned something then!

It is useful, as some Americans will look at you oddly in the US when
you ask where "left-luggage" is. I think they call it parcel check at NY
Penn station...

I can't recall ever having to ask.

I did say initially, I recalled something I knew already.


Anyway where did he mention trains?

He didn't. It's a safe assumption.

No assumption is safe on RTE when daft questions are being asked. I
assumed
troll.

If I bother to answer a question on RTE, I'm not really doing it for the
person asking the question. (Though Bruce K is not an unknown poster
here, and not a troll IME.) I'm doing it for a wider readership, though
ultimately myself- IOW, what would I do to find out if a French station
had left luggage...

or a town?

Just to back you up ever so slightly on this, despite having lived in all
manner of countries (except for the US), I was as clueless as you were about
the original enquiry.
