That state owned railways trade body CER would not like the #PassengerPackage was to be expected
That they'd be quite so incoherently critical was interesting and worrying too
Time for a course correction, as I explain here

(Not seriously arguing this)

I suspect I shouldn't expect combined rail/flight ticketing any time soon...

@wordshaper The ones with the right attitude, like DB and ΓBB, will offer rail-air solutions. The bad ones won't.
And yes, this is an extension of the "our trains are already full, why should we fix anything" argument. RUN MORE TRAINS THEN!

@jon If DB and ΓBB interface with SABRE for ticketing that would be amazing, especially if they manage automatic rebooking when flights or trains get cancelled or delayed.
Sadly for me I would need SCNF to interface with the airline ticketing system, but I guess I can watch other countries get this and count it as progress.

@wordshaper I am no specialist in rail-air, but there are DB ICEs that have Lufthansa flight numbers, and ΓBB Railjets that have Austrian ones.
