Damn, this week is the week where friends of mine are messaging me with their SNCF problems!

Now a SNCF train manager is telling a German friend of mine a telephone number MUST be displayed on each item of luggage

I have just checked the latest SNCF terms and NO that is NOT TRUE. It is *still* only name and surname

@jon Can we find out the phone number of SNCF’s legal department? Seems like a good option to put on the label …

@partim @jon the only way to deal with a legal department is in writing, preferably recorded delivery.

@peterbrown @jon I have no intention to deal with them, but maybe they can give the guard legal advice vis-a-vis their terms of service.
