Out of the 249 delivered, 7 have already been scrapped.

They must be getting huge discounts given how much of a fiasco 2019 and 2020 have been for being (respectively -87 and -1026 (!) net orders these years, compared to +768 and +268 for Airbus)

It's the French government, not SNCF, that plans to order 300 new cars and 30 locomotives (2022 order, 2025-2030 deliveries). The operator will then be selected in a tender process, it can SNCF or it can be other companies too. The order will encompass seating, couchettes, and sleeping cars...

ÖBB is working with very old railcars (the couchette cars date from 1965, they've of course been refurbished since), Europe has basically a shortage of couchette/sleeping cars, and factories are already running at full capacity. The first trainsets of the new Nightjet will be in service at the...

If you're looking for the original Amtrak PDF timetables, they're gone. If you're looking for any sort of timetable, to see where and when your train is scheduled to stop, you can use NA Intercity Rail Tools for example

How are they "essential"? Major airports such as Paris-CDG, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Stockholm-Arlanda, etc., already have a long-distance train station on their premises. And rail+air tickets are already sold... by airlines themselves.

Wait what? Flixtrain *did* refurbish their trains, and not "on the cheap". You may also want to have a look at what WESTBahn, RegioJet, or MTRX are doing with brand new trainsets. And I'm not counting public-owned operators, such as SNCF operating Ouigo in Spain, Trenitalia operating...

Easy to use Online PDF editor is not open source but comes for free.

4-500 Watts? What kind of gears require that much energy? A typical laptop power adapter is no more than 100W, a typical USB charger is 10W (5V x 2A)...

Thanks, but no I don't :)

Used to be Train Express Régional, but since the Régions took over regional transport, regional bus lines are also included, therefore Transport instead of Train now. 4 digits are former Intercités lines, that have been transferred from national to regional in mid 2010s 5 and 6 digits are the...

Any reason not to use the metro? Line 4 from Gare de l'Est to Chatelet, line 14 from Chatelet to Bercy, and voilà.

I think it could have been a possibility in the early times of the mask mandate, yes. But as of today, it is definitely a voluntary behavior. In France, unlike in some other countries, you have to wear a mask pretty much everywhere indoors, that includes train stations, buses, trains, planes...

It's a QR code that proves that either you've been fully vaccinated for at least 14 days, or that you took a test that came back negative no more that 48 hours ago. Doesn't matter if the code is printed or shown on a screen You mean it's disproportionate to fine people for not wearing a mask...

Most of traffic has been restored in Belgium, although some lines won't reopen until August 30th. Intempéries : état du réseau ferroviaire

Not exactly a private operator: Euro Carex is a project for an European HSR freight network, but so far... nothing. https://www.eurocarex.fr/?setlang=en

An hypothetical Berlin-Barcelona high-speed train would take 15 hours with the current infrastructure... Bruxelles-Barcelona would be easier. No, discontinued in 2015, as there was not enough "next business day" mail to carry anymore to make it economically sustainable.

Well that's already the distance covered by conventional rolling stock :)

Which has never been a high(er)-speed train, its max speed was 160 kph / 99 mph :) (I don't think there are many 200 kph / 124 mph night trains in Europe, and there's definitely none (with proper night stock) going faster than that) No, it was discontinued in 2012 (end of Artesia), restored in...
