Talk:Thalys

message: "Trains to these destinations run partly on dedicated high-speed tracks (some of which are yet to be built)" I am not sure this reads very well - I doubt trains run on tracks that are not there! 86.129.158.67 (talk) 22:05, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have changed this to "Trains to these destinations run partly on dedicated high-speed tracks, and partly on older tracks shared with normal-speed trains; further high-speed track is planned to allow a full high-speed service (see, e.g. HSL Zuid)."

message: The source (the blog) refers to official meetings between the management of Thalys and a recognized, independant partner representing its customers at the European level. It links to reports that have been officially approved by both parts, with facts and names of all participants. The documents cited are authoritative, and they are apparently not published anywhere else. The blog is also supported by customers of the company, which is anyway a good complement to the information of the page, that comes mostly from the company itself.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.24.212.200 (talk) 21:24, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Two things....  First this is a page on the English language Wikipedia.  Please use English to communicate here.  Second, this is a page on Wikipedia about the Thalys brand that is in no way associated with the company Thalys and does not represent the company in any way.  Wikipedia editors do not have access to ticketing information and cannot answer your question.  Please contact your travel agent for an answer to your ticketing question.

thread_title:  Travel and ticketing question 

message: I think it would be nice to have a table of journey times at several points throughout Thalys' history, to illustrate the effects of the high-speed lines that have opened through the years. Unfortunately, I can't find the Cologne data for 1996-1997, and some of it doesn't add up (according to Thalys, 1.5 hours were cut off between Paris and Amsterdam after 1996; this doesn't make sense.) Anyone at home with this stuff? SergioGeorgini (talk) 01:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Table of journey times 

message: The article claims that the 15kV system in germany provides insufficient power. However the weak part is not the powersystem but the trainset which has a reduced output when operating under 15kV.
The Optiway is not an off-peak fare but an advance purchase. 
While there is little competition on the Brussels to Paris Route with TGV running from Brussels to Paris Charles-de-Gaulle and Marne-la-Vallee, there are other operators on other parts of the Network, notably Brussels-Amsterdam with Fyra (HSA aka NS/KLM) and on Cologne-Brussels with Deutsche Bahn ICE. Overall, prices are very similar although farerules for discounted tickets vary. 
Overall the article reads more like some kind of consumer test report or criticism rather than NPOV 82.113.99.44 (talk) 12:20, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing information 

message: A question arose in a discussion yesterday - where does the name "Thalys" come from? Is it a French or Dutch word, or an acronym, or what? Can anyone shed some light on this (preferably sourced so it can be added to the article)? — An optimist on the run! (logged on as Pek the Penguin) 07:04, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Tnx.  I added but don't know how to do IPA.  This the English page so presumably English pronunciation goes here, but perhaps similar in other languages. Casey (talk) 14:06, 2 September 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Meaning? 

message: Please, note that the name used in English is SNCB rather than NMBS/SNCB. All official website ( SNCB, Thalys, Eurostar and RailTeam ) only mentioned SNCB on their English version. Furthermore, on the talk page of the SNCB, you can see that English-speakers in Brussels calls it SNCB.
Belgium is a trilingual country, but on the English wikipedia, we have to use the term mostly used in English in this case, clearly SNCB.
"Bobrayner", the source you provided ( raileurope-world ) does not belong to the SNCB, nor Thalys. Following websites ( SNCB, Thalys, Eurostar and RailTeam )
do:
http://www.b-rail.be/main/E/
http://www.b-europe.com/Travel
http://www.eurostar.com/UK/uk/leisure/about_eurostar/company_information/ownership_structure.jsp
http://www.thalys.com/be/en/about-thalys/corporate
http://www.railteam.co.uk/why-railteam/our-alliance/sncb/
and all mentioned SNCB. 
By, the way, the link you provided ( see above ) for the meaning of the Thalys brand also mentioned SNCB. So, please...  Le Liegeois (talk) 01:18, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
