"being able to take the Eurostar" shouldn't be a "luxury privilege"
The real "luxury privilege" in #CrossChannelRail should be VSOE.
Or a daytime Pullman train ferry London V ↔️ Paris N using the "Brighton Belle" stock 😋.

I'm really torn between "being able to take the Eurostar is a luxury privilege and I should pipe down" and "the security and waiting conditions at St Pancras are unacceptable"

Multiple units, rather than carriages, are the future of sleeper trains.
Yesterday, Tren Maya introduced its newest train, the Pa’tal, on a special run between Cancun and Mérida! 🚆 🇲🇽
These new units are made to run on long distances across the Yucatán Peninsula.
Let’s take a closer look at them 👀

Those TGV Paris - Milan are already quite a long, complicated history.
When the 2 first daily returns by Artesia (SNCF-FS) began service on 2 June 1996, they ran to an orderly timetable, at the same minute, clockface-style.
They all the same stopping pattern: LYS ✈️, Chambéry Challes les Eaux

I know my trips are a bit strange, but I’d actually like to go from Milano or Torino to Macon Loché TGV. But the morning train from Italy doesn’t stop there, the afternoon trains do 🤷♂️
St Jean de Maurienne is even stranger - 3 trains a day from Paris, only 2 to Paris

Set down a comprehensive vision for nationwide passenger rail transport.
Do so by setting
. Frequency
. Train categories
For each corridor and each OD.
Then do the same for regional and suburban rail services.
Then articulate and coordinate those 3 tiers.

@alonlevy.bsky.social – accepting that night trains are unlikely to ever be a good use of resources, what’s the solution here? More attention to cross-border HSR issues to make more long-distance routes viable during the daytime? Eventually some sort of maglev?

. The decision to extend juxtaposed 🛂 controls to 🇫🇷🇬🇧 HSR predates 9/11.
it was made in 2000 owing to undocumented asylum seekers.

"It is unclear whether Johnson and his cabinet colleagues understood that “Great Britain” gained its “Great” simply as a marker of its size, to distinguish it from the smaller Brittany in France, rather than as a description of its brilliance". Nah, I think I know
#TheBeautyOfTransport is looking at the newly unveiled GBR branding - not just what it is, but how we ended up with it, and how far it will actually spread. It's a long article this time, so plenty to keep you going over the holidays. Season's Greetings!

2025 spend is likely more. If you donate to them, remember ‘they understand working people’.

So, GNER livery for faster mainline services
Turquoise blue (~Ouigo) with the same red stripe and doors for slower mainline services
For regional services, GWR green + GNER red doors and stripe
For commuter/urban services, yellow (Mancunian 🐝) + GNER red doors and stripe.
