Names
Many of the EuroCity trains carry names continuing the practice started for the luxury trains of the 19th and early 20th centuries. A few still use the names of the earlier Trans-Europe Express trains that they replaced on the same route, for example Iris for Brussels to Zürich. The names are printed on brochures showing the times of arrival at various stops and details of the journey, which are placed on the seats.

Famous quotes containing the word names:
“A knowledge that people live close by is,
I think, enough. And even if only first names are ever exchanged
The people who own them seem rock-true and marvelously self-sufficient.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
