I guess it's good not having to label and - yes - search engines find up.
The pictures are
Kiel Hbf
Hengelo
Zutphen
Breda
Osnabroek (but not easily recognised)
Antwerp Centraal
Hamburg Hbf
Restaurant in Kiel

No. 6 is even more up-front about telling you where it’s at: Antwerp. And 2 and 3 are Hengelo and Zutphen. As to the two others … wot no Osnabrück this year?
For Zutphen I was able to search for what’s written on the train – “Witte Wieven”. That turns out to be the individual train’s name, one of seven suggested by the public for that route’s fleet.
Having found the operator’s site explaining that, I switched Google search to show images and was a bit surprised to see one of the hits was that picture of Graham’s! That can only mean that Google had read the words in the image and put them into searchable textual metadata for the image. Not a surprise that that’s possible, but I’d never seen it before.
According to Google they started offering search on text in images (and identified content in images too) last year, However, they only talk about searching your own pictures locally, and I can find no announcement about adding that to web search.

That is very bad.
Personally, I have never been a fan of mushy peas: I ask for 'fresh garden peas' instead - which are obviously frozen ones, but still better.

Is the fish dish on a ferry? Baltic Sea?
I hope it's better than the undercooked fish I had on Stena Estrid coming back from Ireland. Finn had a bit of it and later threw it up in the car. I have a bit of tummy trouble too. And the mushy peas were cold - served on paper which disintegrated under them. Peas and paper is NOT a taste sensation. Horrible meal.

The first one is Kiel Hbf - which it does kind of tell you.

Disappointed to see that someone has vandalised the smart Schleswig-Holstein livery on that double decked train on the penultimate picture. Was that Hamburg HBF?

Three countries, six trains (five of them electric) from yesterday. Not in order (though the last picture - the fish supper - is)
