法国新列车太高无法进入隧道

 

The spectacular blunder from rail bosses means the cross-Europe trains will have to stop before entering Italy, where passengers will have to board a smaller train.

 

The new trains are several millimetre higher than the maximum height of the tunnels along the Riviera coastline route, according to Nice Matin newspaper.

 

French rail operator SNCF says the trains will be put into service this week - but only as far as the French border.

 

Last year, the national rail operator cost taxpayers² dearly after they bought 2,000 trains that are 1.2in too wide for its platforms. As a result, 1,300 stations were upgraded, with workers chopping off the edges of platforms.
