[nilesfunnies] Eurostar

Copied from amongst the tales on
http://www.railway-technical.com/stories.shtml

Eurostar drivers who operate trains between London, Paris and
Brussels are trained to speak French and English so they can
converse with controllers and other railway staff on both sides
of the Channel Tunnel.  An English driver, speeding across
northern France one day, spotted a large stag wandering
dangerously close to the line.  Not knowing the French word for
stag, he told the French control office, in his limited French,
that what he had seen was "a cow with a pantograph".
