I've never understood the numbering of platforms in French railway stations (letters, numbers, sometimes not in order)
And now I have watched a video about it... and I understand even less

Other than - typical SNCF - NONE of this is designed with passengers in mind

Pourquoi les numéros de voies de cette gare ne se suivent pas ?

This makes the SNCF behaviour here look so painful
“Waaah we can’t run this without a big subsidy, we can’t even sell tickets for our own train. We’ll have to cancel it.”
European Sleeper: we’re a tiny company with knackered carriages. But we’ll TRY

The official report on the blackout in Spain and Portugal was just released. I'll give a quick summary of findings and provide some additional info.
TL;DR
conventional power plants didn't control the voltage as planned
over-voltage caused renewables to turn off as required

Un trafic aérien divisé par deux en 5 ans: en Allemagne, le train enterre l'avion mais aussi la voiture pour les trajets intérieurs
Selon une étude publiée par Spiegel, entre Berlin et Munich par exemple, la part du train est de 77%. Un succès porté par les lignes à grande vitesse et ce, malgré des dysfonctionnements récurrents.

L'occasion de rappeler que la déforestation induite par l'extraction est bien davantage le fait de l'extraction d'or et de charbons que des métaux pour la transition. Que les discours "anti-mines" se concentrent contre la transition est très étrange.

Jusqu'ici majoritairement utilisé par la branche fret, les Vectron d'ÖBB font leur apparition en tête (ou en queue dans ce cas précis) de rames voyageurs
Die Vectron 1293 108 mit der Doppelstock Upgrade Garnitur 86-33 027 ist gestern im Rahmen einer Typenschulung von Wien Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof nach Absdorf-Hippersdorf und retour gefahren. Wird man in Zukunft öfter Vectron-Loks auf der Franz-Josefs-Bahn sehen? 👀🚄

And another sad news for dining car lovers: the ARkimbz Bistro car on the SJ EuroNight project is now finally and terminally cancelled.
It was a rumour first, I had hinted at it for months, it was finally confirmed in the media some time ago. Last week news broke it‘s not going to happen 😔

TGV Inoui recently rebranded its food offer from “Le Bar” to “Le Bistrot.” I had to take a look at it, and unfortunately, I was once again very disappointed.
Price, offer, quality of ingredients, taste… all excellent.
But it’s again ruined by a shitty presentation (single-use plastic, no plate)

SNCF is efficient at two things
- line speed of trains
- filling the max % of seats on its trains
It’s inefficient at everything else
- staffing (you don’t need so many people!)
- dwell times
- connecting or reversing TGV units
- timetabling
- passenger flow at stations
