When late trains work wonders

The article by Alain Rémond, published in *La Croix* on September 8, 2026, humorously recounts an anecdote about a train passenger who experienced multiple delays during her journey from Nantes to Valence. The piece critiques the French National Railways (SNCF), highlighting frequent issues such as late departures, breakdowns, and lost trains, which often leave passengers stranded. While the tone is light-hearted and satirical, the underlying message reflects broader frustrations with the reliability of France’s rail system. The author uses this personal experience to comment on the general inefficiency of SNCF services.

The critique is presented as a common frustration rather than a politically charged attack. There is no overt alignment with any specific political group or call
