🤦‍♂️

Some Youtube dude has tried to explain why Lisboa - Madrid is so bad www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHfehfYryoE

And uses a map that is so off I don’t want to watch (the while line is the train, and no it doesn’t go via Castelo Branco)
Entroncamento• Lisbon • Castelo Branco Abrantes

Oh hell. He thinks Badajoz - Merida is standard gauge. How the **** does this crap get so many views?
Green is supposed to show standard gauge, but the part centre left - to Badajoz - is wrong. This is broad gauge

@jon Also there's another mistake on that map: Galicia, north-west corner doing a "T", high-speed network is the only one of Spain which is in Iberian gauge

@jon For sure, just by looking the errors that you're pointing out I can get a glimpse of that (also some motives to not see that video)

Also, as you know in first hand and myself that I live less than 100 km from the France border (using Rodalies), connections between Portugal, Spain and France are shameful

@amrtf Sure, we all know the problem. And many of us know some of the reasons for it. And then comes along a Youtube dude and puts out this rubbish.
