@jon P.S. Ich hasse die Gates in Frankreich

@jon until this post, I thought that's about as bad as renfe in atocha boarding the 5min apart iryo and AVE from the same platform. But you prove me wrong, that's actually worse.

(Anecdote: it took me a while to realise that I thought "something with yes" is how sncf calls their TGVs these days, until I noticed that they had two services, both called "something with yes".)

@hopla Hang on. How is SNCF allowed to pass a locomotive containing asbestos to F-HXF but not to Transdev?

[jon@gruene.social]

@maartje @lewd @hopla SNCF: all the same company when it suits SNCF. Different companies when it suits SNCF.

And those cases are often *precisely the opposite* of when it being one company or not would suit the passengers.

@masek I'll wave in.. Strasbourg?

@jon asbestos? I saw that on a BB75000, that's way too recent to contain any asbestos, and Transdev self doesn't have a cargo subsidiary AFAIK?

@pseyfert While SNCF actually more often says "non", or "est-ce que vous avez pensez au covoiturage?"

@maartje @jon @lewd *safely avoids going into the intricacies of cross-border TER service Re: involved companies*

@hopla BB 26000 not getting transferred?
