In 🇹🇷, I can catch a flight from Istanbul at 23:50 and return to Izmir. Or vice versa. Between all major cities it's like that Can you do this with TGV in France? NO! Those who call SNCF an "airline wannabe" To say that about SNCF is an unnecessary insult to some airlines.

The last TGV train from Paris to Strasbourg leaves at 22:05 on Sunday evenings. The train is always full. It should be a standard for all lines in France!

I just read your bulletin and writing that on an ICNG train, I can confirm that new trains don't necessarily mean good trains. Unfortunately, the interior of those trains are nothing like the Intercity; even most non-Corail TER trains in France are much more comfortable. @jonworth.eu

Today is cross border rail day for me... Strasbourg-Amsterdam (through TGV to Bruxelles then Eurocity Direct to Amsterdam) A shame that Trainline don't offer this itinerary. It was showing expensive connections either via Paris or complex (and also expensive) ones via Germany...
