I used to spend a lot of time when I was wee in Roanne & would love to see the footage of the town (& it's incredibly ugly train station). I might catch the ITV4 highlights tomorrow, but they're unlikely to show any of the start town, so if anyone can find the footage online, let me know how I can capture it remotely or capture the footage & get it to me, I'd be immensely appreciative....
Roanne was my 2nd home for some time, so am immensely proud to see the tour start there. I just want a way to see the footage.
It's a long shot, but worth asking....

    i dont think the tour transmits much footage for the first hour or so of the stage so you may be out of luck?

    Cheers for that, but it's a tourist info film which I may have seen once or twice before (& you get a bit sick of the mentions of Trois Gros after it's been talked about a few thousand times)... Sometimes, I remember to check the obvious :wink:

    Damn! I may miss the pink train station!!!!
    I didn't think that it was likely, but thought that I'd ask.

    Thank you, but I'm fairly familiar with the way that you can find a variety of images using popular search engines & mapping tools.
    Roanne has never had the tour before & is unlikely to ever have it again, so I was kinda looking for images of that....
    As I said in the OP, I'm quite proud to see the tour start there, rather than this:

    Which no right minded person would be proud of...
