sort of a follow up to my dortmund post and then I swear I shut up about this but c’mon man. It’s 26°C fucking degrees and the trains stop.

    I can’t wrap my head around how 26°C could possibly be the breakdown point. Air conditioners can usually lower the temperature around 10°C, so usually there isn’t a problem until the outside temperature is so high that the AC can’t get the enclosed space down to a safe temperature.

    26°C is cool enough that they could just open all the windows. I’m kinda baffled.

      The trains here specifically are bombardier talent 1s, but the company also operates lint 41s. Which means in both cases we get to blame the French/Alstom. meant this as a reply to trompete.

    How does an AC actually fail at specifically 26 °C outside temp? I get that it might not keep up, but just fail? Also where did they get these ACs that would be useless anywhere in there world where ACs are common, who even would build such a thing?

    What’s even the point of an AC that doesn’t work if it’s warm outside? I think they are lying to Germans, hoping they all still don’t know how ACs work.
