SNCF badly run

Why did I read Worstall, again ? To give him another chance ? Shit ...

> The German government isn't all that good at running Deutsche Bahn, nor the French at running SNCF.

They seem to have come up with pretty good speed trains, that take you from Marseille to Paris (400 miles) in less than 3 hours and cost less than half of a discounted ticket from Portsmouth to London, which also takes 3 hours, mind, if you get the stop train ... what distance ? 90 miles ? ROFL

The ICE is pretty "cheap" compared to British train services as well ... ever heard of the term "ripoff Britain" ? Thought not ...

Even the Eurostar in England gets overtaken by commuter trains because the tracks are not maintained properly.
