Goofs

While Sean Walker and Vicky Roberts are supposed to travel by train in "North eastern France" (back from Alsace), the train is a Eurostar (TGV TMST also known as British Rail Class 373, yellow and black). Eurostar trains are in use only on London-Paris and Brussels-Paris lines, so they can only be seen in North western France, Belgium and UK. The train should have been a standard TGV (grey and blue with red and green doors) or less probably, according to the storyline a German ICE (white and red) on international service.
