@MichalBryxi @Loukas Recently I had to purchase train tickets from #Brussels to #Paris - and it turned out they no longer run the affordable #IZY train and have deferred the route to just #Thalys, which has effectively sextupled (!!!) the price.
At least #Spain (where I now live) has opened up major routes to external competition, so now we not only have the local #Renfe, but also the Italian #FrecciaRossa (with their #Iryo service) and the French #SNCF (with #Ouigo).
Hope this spreads 🤞
