Every potential buyer of trains should ban this company from new sales.

[–] voodooattack@lemmy.world 66 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Yeah. I’m not buying another train from them ever again

[–] Asfalttikyntaja@sopuli.xyz 21 points 1 week ago

Same here. Fucking train makers.

[–] Terevos@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Good for you! I'm going to boycott them, too.

[–] iglou@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Same. My personal Home <-> Work line will never see a Newag train.

I was just thinking this. I imagine that there is only a few hundred train operators in the world, so they can all be reached easily, and would pay attention to the Polish rail operator.

Simply explain the whole ordeal and bullshittery, and let them know what will happen to them.

It's unlikely that Newag would get another sale. They are fucking with mainly state operator, who have a LOT of time and resources.

If I were the Polish operator, I would have found a new hobby.

Operator in my country luckily ordered a bunch of Škodas to complement and replace the old Stadlers, so I don't think we're gonna be using Newag any time soon.
