En 1887, les chemins de fer français ont décidé unilatéralement de retarder toutes les horloges des gares ferroviaires de 5 minutes par rapport à l'heure de Paris. Les horloges à l'extérieur des gares, quant à elles, n'ont pas été modifiées. Mais alors pourquoi faire cela ?

Ce qui n’est pas dit : les billets doivent être acheté sur le site de Trenitalia et pas la SNCF.

Australia should take example from countries having high-speed railways. Being Japan, China, or any Europaen countries. (gues, I'm in Europe ;) ) The US is a bad example. Sure you have large distance as in the US, but expertise is not there. There is only one highspeed line between Boston and New York city, if I'm correct).

High speed train need its own track, it's too fast at 300+ kmh, it needs protections from and for wild life around it, an onboard signaling system. All you don't need below 200kmh.

Contrary to the article, when a highspeed train uses normal tracks, it has to go slow (200kmh max), and use visual signals. It becomes a classic train. So there are expenses to be made building tracks for highspeed trains. It's not cheap.

Privatizing rails, taking examples from the UK and Paris - Bordeaux in France is a baaaaaaaad move. I think the UK rebought its first rail company. Paris - Bordeaux highspeed track is private and the french national operator SNCF must run its trains, even empty, to use it per contract. And seat prices are quite high compared to other (public) lines in France.

However as I see here in Switzerland, privatizaton can happen if well done. Switzerland has about 100 private rail, boat and coaches companies across the country... for 8 millions people, and one ticket and one timetable for everything. This is very centralized around the main train operator (which is a private company, 80% owned by the confederation).

Je suis intersseé de savoir comment va se passe du coté francais. Si il y a 25 rames de plus, il y aura une cadence augmentée, elle va se répercuter sur le trafic francais.

Hi,

I'm hald-european, half-asian. from y expeiebce, blending in is an obvious choice. But I reallized, I'm not really asian, because I have european traits and references, and I'm not really european because I've asean traits and references. You will not be really part of any and both at the same time. You want to belong to a group, that's understandable. But you are in between, or better said you are the bridge between these groups. This is what's defining you. You can be part of each of them, using what you know about one group, and add spice or knowledge from the other. you are more that one group.

My experience, and I had a former superior who also was between 2 cultures : we don't really fit in to one pot. we are our own pot :)

My german side love a nice german beer, but my vietnamese side loves viet coffee. I love Frankfurter, Nürnberger, Müncher sausages in a bread, but I can't help my self with Cha Gio.

Go to group that are accepting you. And if they don't, too bad for them, there are plenty other groups, until you find your balance. And may be it means being in ultiple groups at the same time, and that's really really fine.

I’m curious how many european countries outside the Union will follow. Swiss cooperative Migros stopped labelling their food product, because it cost too much and was barely used.

From my understanding, you can’t post to an instance, until someone from that instance either subscribes to your lemmy account or the community or search for it. This will force the intance to pull your post to that instance.
