@jon Trainline app finds Brugge - Lille for €13,40. I wonder why it's 60 cents more than your 8,4 + 4,4.

It seems all 4 tickets can be purchased with Trainline.
But not all at once, there are too many changes.

@sylvainavelo Because my Brugge-Mouscron is a special pass price that Trainline cannot sell.

@jon Mouscron or Kortrijk?

jon, 4 months ago

@julienw That's the trick! Change trains in Kortrijk, change tickets (but stay on the same train) in Mouscron.

@jon ahah I see!
I remember I've read this was against sncf rules, don't know for sncb :-)

@julienw it is against SNCF rules. SNCB I don’t know (the train manager accepted what I had, no questions asked). But the SNCF rule is stupid so I’ll happily not respect it - if SNCF makes stupid systems I’ll find ways around them.

@jon what was the saving over a through ticket?

jon, 4 months ago

@deadliftbear no idea. Because you can't get a through ticket 🙂 (slightly sarcastic - SNCF can probably sell you 3 tickets in 1 transaction and not apply any reduction cards to what you get)

@jon SNCF why must you be like this? Sigh.

jon, 4 months ago

@deadliftbear Because I am abnormal. I don't want to travel only to Paris, and only within France.

deadliftbear, 4 months ago

@jon sounds perfectly legit to me. But then I’m not SNCF. I’m dreading trying to use my FIP card in France this summer.

@deadliftbear follow @wrzlbrnft @_Hemmschuh - they’re the masters of that in France!

@jon Wait… there are seperate NMBS apps for domestic and international travel?

jon, 4 months ago

@wrzlbrnft there are indeed. You can’t buy international tickets in the national one 🤷‍♂️

@jon @wrzlbrnft

But you can import all tickets into KDE Iternary.

jon, 4 months ago

@Life_is @wrzlbrnft Sure. Showing the tickets is the least of the issues though!

@wrzlbrnft @jon NS the same.

wrzlbrnft, 4 months ago

@smveerman @jon 🥴

jon, 4 months ago

@wrzlbrnft @smveerman and the company behind SNCB International and NS International is the same - Benerail. They could have one unified Benelux International ☺️
