“We’ve got too many passengers!”
SNCF and Hauts de France: let’s limit how many can take the train - by imposing compulsory reservation on regional trains!
FFS! 🤬
This kills any flexibility.
Boost your capacity! Behave like a sensible railway!

1. Google Maps screenshot of the border - there is a sort of triangle of Hungary into Slovakia. And the borders are along two roads.

My first trip on a “cross border” Régiolis
These trains were bought for 🇫🇷🇩🇪 services but still run only in France because Grand Est and the 3 Bundesländer still can’t get their act together to work out how to run them cross border

Also Norwegian commuter trains have these fold up seats everywhere
Why?
Is it so rammed at peak time everyone must stand?
The seats in this Stadler train at least are then quite uncomfortable

There are things you can improve at
Charlottenberg 🇸🇪 - Magnor 🇳🇴
Some better coordination of regional #CrossBorderRail would definitely make sense, extending Vy's Asker-Kongsvinger R14 line to Charlottenberg
It's hard to know quite how to do it currently, as there are so many building works Swedish side

It was more than 15 years ago, long before #CrossBorderRail as a project, that I last went to Charlottenberg. So it's time to re-visit - on a short day trip from Oslo, so as to inspect the infrastructure at the border.
