@albertcardona are you following @jon on his investigative trans-border train journeys as he details the huge gap between European politicians rhetoric about trains and the facts on the ground?

@heresiarch yes I correspond with @albertcardona from time to time! But it’s capacity you need to increase first, not focus on price jonworth.eu/make-international

@jon @heresiarch

Capacity and coordination. It shouldn’t take a PhD to book a train journey across two countries.

@albertcardona @heresiarch Right. But if you’re SNCF do you care? Because your train is full regardless.

@albertcardona @jon i'd say the threshold for booking needs to be lowered all the way to “on a par with air travel booking” but perhaps equally important are removing uncertainties thru some kind of insurance and then sticking the costs of that on the rail operators.
Also, capacity.
