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. |
@heresiarch yes I correspond with @albertcardona from time to time! But it’s capacity you need to increase first, not focus on price https://jonworth.eu/make-international-rail-cheaper-capacity-on-a-route-is-the-crucial-issue/
