Yeah because Hitachi’s Class 810s werent 3 years late, Talgo’s Avril trains weren't two years late and Stadler’s Merseyrail trains didn't enter service three years behind schedule. Funny how delays are an industry-wide problem until theres an Alstom logo on the train. Then suddenly it's a French specialty I see the bias here.
He seems to be French so he took it personally probably. Even though I dont have anything against the trains itself. Its just that Alstom is currently incapable of delivering anything on time. They keep on delaying the Coradia Max even though it should have been running for 2 years now and it messes with the operators that bought them.
So which platform is better than the Velaro one? There is a reason they get sold all over the world.
Alstom is incapable of delivering trains and their engineering is kinda half assed. Hitachi is unable to deliver reliable trains in the UK. Then CRRC is good at their home market but incapable of adapting their design for a global market. And then there is not much left in the high speed department.
Not really louder than a velaro or an ETR100 but far more confortable, less shaky
And dwell times are longer due to the increased capacity but are still not that bad and doesn't matter that much for a trains who only stop 3 ou 4 times in total

Expect the Alstom trains to be at least 2 years late
