Yeah, right, they had enough ice cubes on board for every passenger...and needed 'em.....in mid winter. A likely tale !
Coming back home on the train the week before last, the TGV ops announced "because of difficulties on on-loading supplies, the buffet car will be closed for the seven-hour journey from Lille to Perpignan."
I sat on the train dying for a drink; only when I got off - through the buffet car - did I notice they'd put out literally hundreds of free bottles of water and paper cups for the passengers. nearly all were unopened - BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T ANNOUNCE THEY WERE THERE, the b--stards.
Now that was suffering.....
