    Old French intercity now serving a regional line. Toilets are see through to the track… The comfort and class is unmatched by any other regional service I have taken though I think

    what? of course i can be mad about people enjoying their life if it is causing direct harm to other people in the present and the future! why shouldnt I ? this is a zero sum game: somebody is and will be paying the price!!!

    also “especially when others still have more” is considering how fucking rich we are a sentence dripping with greed.


  • idk man, at least for germany i have the opposite impression: it is a integrated system and if you dont live in a large city it would be very usual to combine high speed legs with regional trains. heck i even mostly cross the dutch-german border on regional trains. in germany at least there has been a huge jump in accessibility of regional and interregio trains with the introduction of the “germany-ticket” which grants access to all public transport which is not high-speed across all germany for 50€ p/m (which unfortunately will already rise to 60€ with the start of ´25 which i am so mad about). I dont see high speed rail as a problem in germany.

    I reeeeeaallly hate how almost all people see fast travel at plane speeds as a commodity and a basic need. It just isn’t true, every flight is borrowed from our future, most of the other citizens of this world don’t have access, and still people are like “8 h instead of 4 h for 1000km just isn’t practicalyeah! Because it’s 1000km why does everybody think their entitled to traveling by jet, when this has been a luxury not present in history, not present for most people that live right now and will not be present in the climate crisis that is our current future… 🫠🫠🫠

    Doch doch, wenn es keine Droge wäre könnte ich es ja schließlich im Laden kaufen, da dem nicht so ist muss es sich ja um eine Droge handeln /s
