In the end on the Court of Auditors thing, it is once more a problem of being a freelancer in a sector with no freelancers, and so once more I am doing complicated intellectual work for free
BUT when they ask me a question about a railway topic I can answer it straight up. No need to defend what a company tells me, what a senior manager decides. I think a few unvarnished comments about the problems are helpful for them to frame their work
@jon
Organizations don't like dissenting opinions. I also make myself unpopular from time to time, to a slightly lesser extent. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:ugcPost:7457134592383320065/?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28ugcPost%3A7457134592383320065%2C7457172433134026752%29&dashCommentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_comment%3A%287457172433134026752%2Curn%3Ali%3AugcPost%3A7457134592383320065%29

But the crux is this: the Court of Auditors does not mess around. When they check things, they check. They dig. They work. Their report on high speed rail infra a few years ago was excellent.
So hopefully something solid on rail services, cross border, will emerge from this.
@jon What is the report they're working on about more specifically? Is there somewhere I can read about it?

That was a horrid wet cycle ride. I’ve done only half, the rest will be a bus!
