Oh, and don't worry, we have other things with our trains that could make Amtrak laugh. For example, our high speed trains ( TGV, which stand for Train à Grande Vitesse) regularly run at 198,85 muricameters per hour (or 320 croissants par baguette), but they still have delays. Which are only registered as delays if it's more than five minutes. With the TGV, you can just arrive late, faster

why

The EU directive had several goals including making use of public money more transparent and allowing competition not on the tracks but on the trains.

@@aidanclarke6106 I.E what the United Kingdom uses currently (which considering they left the EU recently if I'm not wrong they could renationalise the network in trains and tracks)

fred white - The EU does not require railway companies to be private. Each member state can privatize or nationalize companies as long as it does not distort fair competition, whatever UK politicians can say.

@@aidanclarke6106 --- "as long as it does not distort fair competition" that is exactly what nationalizing (Fully nationalizing having the track owners and train operators being the same company being directly operated by the government) does sides from roads and even then BR did operate a door to door delivery service at one point The UK rail network today operates like it did before 1923 excluding railway maintainence work (one reason why so many delays happen today is the same reason they grouped all of the railways in the UK down to 4 in 1923 is because of so many independent companies fighting for control over certain areas having so many different companies crammed into small areas does that however in the US (completely different country I Know) the majority of tracks are owned by freight companies that BY Law! Have to give precedence of Amtrak trains over their own trains this is likely similar to the UK with Railfreight and other companies that operate in the UK But Amtrak is a pseudo Public company (meaning it is on the stock market and is able to do business independently from the Government But it receives government funding another company that does this is USPS) not a company that is operated by the government directly as BR was and likely SNCF Is. what was the tagline of the BR adverts? Oh yes! "Britain's Railway" as far as I know Britain still has a Nationalised Mail service I.e "Royal Mail" but it does compete with other parcel delivery services in fact there is a growing call to renationalise the rail network of the UK (as far as T.O.C's or train operating companies go)

fred white EU membership has nothing to do with public or private railways. France is in the EU and, as per this very video, both the RFF and the SNCF are government-owned.

There's probably a test train that tries to drive through them with weird things poking out to the same width and height as the actual trains. Imagine the train skeeting the station and a metal bar just *bop* d off.

@@GeeTransit they probably would have screwed that up too. I'm going with INX's idea.

I am not sure how they actually realized, but the trains where actually able to pass the platforms. The clearance between platform and train was lower than required.

That happened on the GWR in the mid-19th century and the Flying Scotsman in Scotland.

"Fit one in"

A friend of mine conjectured that the engineers did it deliberately, because their managers were being slow about standardizing the older stations.

How could the old trains use the narrow and wide tracks then?

@@whathevid Most likely not. If it's my country most train is local, as in only serving certain region, so say there's station A and B that's old, and station C that's new, old train will serve A and B, and new train will serve B and C.

@@whathevid probably thanks to a little step that comes out above the platform, bridging the gap when there is a bit more space to the newer platform. I know this because in Belgium our platforms used to be even less standardised, with 3 different heights and at least 2 different widths. Most of our trains have some kind of system underneath the doors with a step that comes out or similar to bridge the gap.

Hahaha

Correction: Parisians correcting every mistake, with the addition of a dig at the South of France’s supposed ethnic makeup. (And you wonder why French registration plates now no longer make reference to the owner’s place of residence.)

get outskayled Officially the change was to free up numbers across the country, but there had been stories - I’ll leave it to you to determine how true they are - of cars with 75 (Paris) registrations getting vandalised when taken down south. The plates still carry the departement codes on a label, just less prominently and not as part of the registration number.

@@AlexOnTheBus EU standards and driving. Like the time the EU changed the driving regulations for motorbikes in kmh which exceeded the UK speed limit so £120 million had to be spent on offroad driving test centres to meet European law. The UK opposed almost every change in that roads directive, our objections were ignored as always, little wonder that we left the EU a decade later.

@Kim Yo Jong's Sandwich France handed over hundreds of thousands of its own citizens to the Nazis to be killed off in death camps. But about your opinions on civilisation...

That would be far from the first embarrassing mistake that our government made. And most French don't like the government. On a more global point, I think people don't like that a third of the video is endless French joking because otherwise, with all the information given in that video, there's like 3 minute that's dedicated to that. Oh and for the accent, I heard some of my fellow French pronounce in a more broken way that he does. Sure, when he's speaking, it's really obvious that he's not the best French speaker, but I've heard worse.

As a French I really enjoyed this video, he honestly speaks quite well in French, and about the problem with trains, it's a mistake that is so big and dumb that it deserves to be made fun of ! I don't understand the French that disliked the video as it's not disrespectful or anything, just funny. We have to learn to joke about ourselves, and happily most of the French liked the video !

saddest part ? it's probably the case

68m is a low price to pay for it too, compared to the price of the trains

They had two choices: make trains that can use the majority of the stations, mostly newer ones or make trains that can use the minority, mostly older ones. In the latter case, the outcry and cost of upgrading the new stations to the "old standard" would have been many times greater. And yes, in the scope of a large european governement budget, that 68m€ is a drop in a bucket.

@@ibfreely8952 Exactly 68 mill is a rounding error compared to several billion in trains

Now, if they were ITALIANS, they'd already have a nephew or two lined up to do the work, even before ordering the trains that don't fit.
