Is there a bagage check in Sens?

meant.)

I also took it to mean some sort of official luggage
inspection.

The later context means, presumably, a cloak-room or
left-luggage.

You probably also think a grill sits under food being
cooked, rather than above it, that all pumpkins are orange
and that all service staff should be tipped.

Sorry for the ambiguous post.

The question should have been:

Is there a left luggage vendor at the Sens Rail station?

Thanks again,

Bruce

I hope not. If I leave luggage there, I don't want it sold
before I return...:-)

Green, blue, yellow-green, yellow. Some examples:

You might call them winter squash, we call them Pumpkin.

Your broiler is our grill.

Your grill is our hot-plate.

Going OT, Alan - do you happen to know a pumpkin that has a "neck", like a
dinosaur's?

Some butternuts can look a little like that; but I don't
know of any particular species that could be described as
T-Rex or Brontopumpkin.

I wouldn't count on it. A useful website for finding out station
facilities in France is http://www.gares-en-mouvement.com/ but it
doesn't include Sens, as far as I can tell. I've been at a few smaller
train stations recently in France which didn't have the service. I don't
think the sncf website is particularly helpful for finding out this
information- and they have an odd sense of humour in displaying a place
on their front page (at the moment) which isn't accessible by train...

for those travelling by car on the auto route?

Well, I would have easily guessed what left-luggage is supposed to be.

The first time I heard the term (left-luggage) some years back I
thought it was probably referring to a place where lost luggage was
collected, like the places where airlines take lost bags, so you're
better at inferring what unfamiliar terms mean than I am.

Well, I remembered a term "lost-and-found" and thought that "left
luggage" must therefore be something else.

Isn't it? That's certainly the meaning I've always assumed!
