On the rails again… #Interrail #CrossBorderRail
-
And that didn’t last long. SNCF gares is showing the incoming train’s arrival to Lyon at +1:40, and Renfe itself just sent another notification giving me a +2:00 delay…
I note that the @chuuchuu app is not showing this delay, btw.
I realise that #CrossBorderRail traffic data is difficult to get right, but I believe both Adif and SNCF Gares have apis with the relevant data in each country for this train…

La France, je suis dans vous !
…which seems like the ideal time to eat this tartelette…

@moof yeah, we’re still getting all the realtime data ducks in a row!

That’s a new one, we are stopped 1380m from the end of the Cret d’Eau tunnel to France. I know this because I can see the emergency exit signs telling me to walk towards France in the case of an emergency…
@moof As if an emergency by itself were not already traumatic enough.

@chuuchuu Keep at it, it’s a hard and mostly thankless task, but at least some of us appreciate it
I am generally impressed with your app, there’s a few things I would want to polish on the UI, especially with the live activity, but I’m now using it alongside my usual app…

@moof definitely send over your feedback to us via the app!

@chuuchuu By TestFlight? I don’t see an option in the app…

@chuuchuu @moof are you keeping an eye on the results of the new EU regulation? https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32026R0253

@moof either screenshot via TestFlight or use the feedback button in a journey detail!

Made it to Lyon, part two, and now I have a dilemma.
The experienced traveller in me tells me that there is no way in hell this train is going to leave earlier than 2 hours after the scheduled departure time of 14:35. Which means I have time to kill, I can leave my bag in the facility, and head over to my favourite café in Fouvières to wait this out.
On the other hand, I also know how terrible the information systems are for this train. SNCF Gares is still showing that departure is on time, whilst simultaneously showing me that arrival of the incoming train that will turn into this one is at +1:40. I know Renfe only has two trains in France today, and the other one is several hundred km south, on the Marseilles run.
So I’m unsure about effectively going half an hour away from the station, as that gives me no room to manoeuvre if the timing suddenly changes for the better…

And I just received an email from Renfe cutting the delay down to 90 mins. On the one hand, positive news, but on the other hand, more or less confirms my anxiety not to go to Fourvière.
So I’ll explore lunch options near the station then, there’s a whole new mall area an’all

@q ha i was just using chuuchuu as an example of someone i think it would be kind of bad for https://masto.ai/@bovine3dom/116063248205324063

@moof gares & connexions for me says +90 mins
it's usually pretty reliable in France. I'd budget an hour

@bovine3dom Yeah, they updated a little while ago. Now arrival and departure times appear to be more or less in sync. Either way, I am staying at the station.

The new mall area, both in the station and the underground bit can best be described as “empty”.
What’s worse, other than some random cafés and sandwicheries, in terms of sit down and eat, all you have is a brasserie with a 37-49€ formule, plus overpriced drinks, or the usual fast food staples like KFC. The best middle ground between the two seems to be a place specialising in poke bowls between platforms G and I.
Not particularly appealing…
The thing is, the mall is huge. In any of the DACH countries it would be full to the brim with convenience stores of some kind or another, but all the shop spaces are empty here. What are SNCF Gares doing wrong?
