Thalys Train Coupling Fault

[@Renard380]

I used to be a tecnician on those trains. Those nose hatches are often replaced because of damage from birdstrikes or suicides. However after each replacement they need to be fine tuned. But some people just replace them and either don't fine tune them or do a bad job, resulting in the hatch rubbing against the front ring and getting stuck. Sometimes when the workload was low i would go and check random trains for this problem and fine tune them. The process is a bit tricky.

[@ronylouis0]

@Mario bro, if the mechanism doesn't work, it doesn't mean the coupler is damaged. They could have left the coupler exposed (which would be an issue after some time.) Most of the air pressure comes in exactly at that spot, and these trains are at least 20 years old. It's not bad engineering (quite the opposite), it's just a malfunction. When you have trains operating at 320 km/h, minimal technical faults caused by the conditions around are bound to happen. It's like if a tree hit the train and you blamed the company who made the glass for the shattered window. Makes no sense

Narcissistic personality disorder - one of several types of personality disorders - is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them. Treatment for narcissistic personality disorder centers around talk therapy (psychotherapy).

The great part with these types of couplers is they’re all automatic. Connections happen on their own. However, the couplers are not strong, and are only used on multiple units, a prime example being this TGV.
