This is our ride. 1435 mm standard gauge, multiple electrical systems supported. Too bad there are only three trains a day: this one and two TGV.

Nueve años después, el tren nocturno entre #Berlín y #París vuelve a circular.

Y aquí, #Renfe tiene el material, pero no quiere ni usarlo ni ponerlo en alquiler para que otros lo usen. Y, sin eso, quien quiera entrar tiene que poner el material (que en España implica prácticamente encargarlo de cero)

One additional problem for Spanish-French train connections is a cockfight between RENFE and SNCF.
It's a longer tragedy in several acts. RENFE is definitely the less efficient company of the two (Symptomatic: You can't even look up connections on their web 🙄). But in this recent drama, respondibility is probably at least shared.
If somebody knows better, please correct me:

In the EU (remember, some stuff in the EU is nice, but a lot also neoliberal bullshit), the countries are "encouraged" to privatise national rail companies and to allow competition.
The French SNCF became annoyed by RENFE trains starting to cover some of the more revenue-generating routes*.
So, SNCF just kicked RENFE out and didn't allow them to operate on French rails anymore. RENFE would have liked to do the same, but luckily for the cross-border connection, they couldn't.
In Spain, the infrastructure is operated by ADIF, RENFE runs only the trains (as France is one of the big players in the EU, SNCF is allowed to retain the authority over the tracks and to play both roles).
So the two broke ties and stopped any cooperation. So no mutual ticket selling or anything...

Things are starting to improve again, apparently. RENFE ads are announcing "breaking: there will be a new connection Barcelona-Paris" (in reality, just starting to recover the connections that four years ago were totally normal).

* here is obviously a flaw in my version of the story, as SNCF has apparently less of a problem with DB and others...

I live in Spain. Believe me, SNCF is great compared to #Renfe.
I'm trying to buy a ticket and their website has not been able to work for the last two days.

A #Spanish 🇪🇸 train, two coaches and a #RENFE class 269-400, running on a broad gauge track, in #France 🇫🇷. Picture taken one evening at #Hendaye station in May 2007. The border is actually a few metres away: the train has just crossed the bridge that connects the two countries.

Si alguien me dice que en estas elecciones iba a votar para defender: las pensiones, la cultura, los derechos, el colectivo LGTBI, la sanidad y educación públicas, el medio ambiente (y animales), el SMI, los trabajos dignos... Pero además a #Correos, #RTVE (y sus periodistas), #AEMET y ahora a #RENFE / #ADIF. Le diríaque merece la pena #Votar.

The service has recently been reinstated by #RENFE.

Hej Bahncommunity I'm trying to figure out if there is any sensible way to go from #berlin to #lissabon via #train or #nighttrain. I know there is now a night train from Berlin to #brussels and to #zurich. But especially for the last part from #barcelona or #madrid seems to be difficult. Does anyone have an idea for such a trip? Thanks 🙏

#Huelga en #ADIF y #RENFE: Contra las externalizaciones y la pérdida de poder adquisitivo

- Paros en julio los días 10, 12, 17 y 19 de dos horas por turno.

- Huelga de 23 horas el día 14 de julio.

Tres veces a la semana hago un trayecto de ida y vuelta de 16 kilómetros en cercanías de #renfe antigua #feve
¡16 kilómetros! Tiempo mínimo 40 minutos.
Cuatro horas semanales para recorrer apenas 100 kilómetros. 😵‍💫
La velocidad media no llega a 24 kilómetros por hora.
Y no, no es que se retrasen los trenes pues cumplen escrupulosamente el horario marcado, casi siempre.
No se que pensar.
