A succession of connected lines (say LGV Est - LGV Interconnexion - LGV Sudest - LGV Rhône-Alpes - LGV Mediterranée, that'd be much longer). I was indeed struggling with putting that across, do you have a better suggestion?
Misplaced comma?
No, the point is that there was no redundancy, no fall-back system, they bet on a not even existing system to function flawlessly. Maybe that should be written differently? (I changed 'was only a plan' to 'existed only on paper' in the meantime, though.)
Subsidence
I spotted that myself in the meantime, also indented/intended... *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
the Aznar government decided to equip the line with this system only, it was only a plan
the Aznar government decided to equip the line with this system, except it was only a plan I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
However, I now replaced the first "only" with "alone", hope it makes more sense that way. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
the Aznar government decided to equip the line with this system alone, except it was just a plan
That is, you meant:
the Aznar government decided to equip the line with this system only, only it was only a plan
... only, only one only would be the only way to go in that situation, unless you bail out entirely. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
In the nineties, the Aznar government decided to equip the line with this system alone, except it existed only on paper. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
Yeah, that works well. I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
