#CrossBorderRail small request for assistance…

As I begin to compile my conclusions, there are a *few* places I was unable to photograph, but nevertheless need to be included in the conclusions
I need photos of:

Ventimiglia station

Figueras Vilafant station

Hendaye/Irún (Euskotren/SNCF/Renfe)

Latour du Carol
I can credit you if I can use your photos, but I cannot pay - this entire #CrossBorderRail project was on a shoestring budget

And in the same spirit, I am going to make thousands of the pics I took en route at other places available for all, for free, CC Licensed…
Anything you might have @fuenareva @Lenny_du_Nord @fabianvendrig @RobHarrison_EU?

Replies by email, DM etc. also very welcome!

/ends
Meanwhile: Hendaye-Irun is already fixed. Thanks all of you!

And if anyone has any of Modane or Bardonecchia then those might be handy too (I have a few but they are not great)

As my mind turns to the conclusions of #CrossBorderRail, damn I can’t escape how much of a mess pretty much every 🇫🇷 border is…
🇫🇷 🇪🇸
Hendaye-Irún - SNCF used to run to Irún, doesn’t any more. Use Euskotren instead, but data not in international timetables

Pau-Canfranc - missing link, French haven’t rebuilt a damaged bridge since 1970s
Latour du Carol-Puigcerda - timetables a mess, service minimal, trains Spanish side not in international timetables

Perpignan-Figueras Vilafant - high speed line but only 2 trains a day year round, 4 in summer

After chatting to @ProfRAHansen over ☕️ today in Berlin about Britain’s broken politics (not just Tory leadership, but Labour’s poor performance too), I’m reminded of this seminal speech by @jayrosen_nyu about the problems of “savvy” political journalism pressthink.org/2011/08/why-po…
The savvy style is reporting on Truss vs Sunak on who will win, not on what they’d do

The savvy style is Labour doing what they think journalists will think is savvy, not what’s right
And carry on that way and you get a politics so horribly divorced from everyday reality, but if everyone’s doing it there’s no electoral cost to playing the game that way
