What happens when you privitize public space, hand it over as terraces to private establishments, and then they close early because why would one want to seat at 9pm on a Sunday, Gare de l'Est edition. The handful of official public waiting seats were all taken, despite a rather empty station at this time. Seriously, put seats in stations for people to wait for their trains!! #SNCFail #GareDeLest

My platform wasn't gonna be announced for another 15 minutes, so I just sought fresh air on the platforms. At 21:30 the temperature was finally easing down. Somehow one platform wasn't fenced off, so I just went to picture the deserted station, despite no disruption here. Indeed, why would anyone want to travel after 9pm on France's busiest travel week-end of the year? Another #SNCFail at #GareDeLest
