Schengen or no Schengen, I've had my passport checked by French border police on every train I've taken between Spain and France... Most economists teach a theoretical framework that has been shown to be fundamentally useless. -- James K. Galbraith
There are two DC/AC types. ÖBB class 1822 from the nineties was more or less a technical failure (lots of breakdowns, not enough power); the through train ambition was given up after a few years. The new ÖBB class 1216 (also "Taurus 3") would in theory be perfect, but Italian authorities have drawn out the certification process for higher speeds on DC lines. (Italy is introducing a new train control and signalling system.) Simple technical issues might be the reason, but blind protectionism, too. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
