SNCB class 08 Siemens Desiro EMU number 08557 and a stablemate arrives into Brussels Nord station with the 17.03 Brussels Midi to Dinnant. Dinnat is about sixty miles south of Brussels and is a stunning riverside medieval town with a dramatic cliff backdrop. As a child I went there with my family and well remember trying to bite on one their lovely looking couque de Dinant biscuits only to find it was doing its best to break my teeth; their accolade is that they are Europe's hardest biscuit!
