For a train going to an airport, English.

This is the norm around the world, especially with complicated situations like a train splitting in two.

Is it though?

Why should anywhere cater to my failure to learn their language and systems? It’s nice if they do but I don’t expect it.

    Are you seriously asking why Airport infrastructure should support English or is it rhetorical?

    If you are not a backwater that doesn't get any travelers, you should cater to tourists who, as a rule, do not speak your language. Even those tourists who do speak a few phrases will absolutely be unable to understand something as complex as a the train spilling up into two before going to the Airport.

    I certainly don't see this attitude from Germans in Spain.

      Why should tourists be supported? Tourists are trashing my country nearly as badly as our largest industry (dairy). Without infrastructure they shouldn’t be encouraged.

      I have no interest in having more.

      We also have no trains, but I’d like that to change.
