@jon Euro… well to be correctly Thalys has the same exact logic! Which is where we stole the idea from for the European Sleeper services where we also have a location driven ticket check tool

NS: this station has 1 travelerper day better open a Kiosk
NMBS: 1000 passengers per day, they demand to have a fitness they can use while their train is delayed!

SNCB issued a call for ideas for several spaces in Brussel-Noord, usually meaning β€œhelp our station is deserted we don’t know why”, see also Binche.

A genius at SNCB also decided station Kalmthout should have a fitness, applications are open…. I wonder who lobbied for that one…

In more SNCB news, a government procedure is started to replace Relay with a press store chain. Or Relay again… it all is very official as press stores have special status….

Soupr opening soon on door

In SNCB real estate news, the β€œall day food” concept is filled in in Leuven by a soup bar opening soon.

The careful research shows that their Ghent shop also serves sandwiches and salads.

- we want chaos!
- yeah! And crappy structure!

My 1 Higer bus our local De Lijn tender has is…. In a very well state… being less than a year old:
- the signage above me is jiggling
- the dashboard beeps randomly
- the electric motor makes high pitch noise when departing
- all displays are broken

I see this one being out of service soon….
