French .... on strike Again

Well the French trains went on strike for the 4th time in 8 days. From the vagueries that I was able to pick up, something about a staff member getting raped and this is response to that - so I guess I can sympathise. I was lucky that the train was actually running at all as I had a non refundable accomodation booked in Rome was didn't feel like losing a couple of days.

Managed to get to Rome and the train was dead on time which I am a little surprised for a 10 hour trip. Had inspectors checking tickets all night. Cause I couldn't actually book in France because it was an Italian train, I kept getting kicked out of my seat which was irrating. Got to the train station and was amazed that there were absolutely no seats in the whole terminal to sit down - guess that keeps people moving through the station however.
