When we could travel.
Taking my chance during a window of 'flickr is working' opportunity with a double-header from two years ago in Belgium. Here is the second photo flic.kr/p/2jRJg47
This fine work is above the booking hall of the old part of Gent-Sint-Pieters station, Flanders. I presume it was advertising rail services to and from Oostende / Ostende. From there it used to be possible to catch a ferry to Dover. Once that bit the dust, in the final years of operation you could instead go to Ramsgate. Apparently that service also ended in 1997, closing a 151 year span of Ooostende-Enland ferry links.
