#bienwaldbahn — Public Fediverse posts

It's remarkable how :

- :db: tells me only the German trains are cancelled and
- :sncf: only tells me the French trains are cancelled

on #Bienwaldbahn today. Both say the respective other country's trains were running - but they are all cancelled. The German trains because of staff shortage and the French trains because of rolling stock shortage*.

* The joke is how the "old" baleine trains on this line are on shortage and replaced by Régiolis trains - that actually also have Germany approval - and the drivers obviously also have Germany approval so I don't really get why they don't just order a Fahrplan for a Régiolis across the border. How hard can it be ? That's a joke. ( Do you know, @hopla ?)

Wow, the :pride_fluo: 🤝🏽 :kvv: cooperation is as great ... they can't even sell you tickets across this border ...

Online, they say tickets not available and in the bus ... they just sell you a ticket from the first German stop to your destination rather than from your station of departure.

I fear someone wants to avoid the complexity of actually selling a ticket with correct taxes applied abroad.

Especially sad : This bus runs on the historic Rhine Railway between 🇫🇷 Haguenau and 🇩🇪 Rastatt but apart from the railway tracks on the Rhine bridge it was mostly dismantled between 🇫🇷 Beinheim and 🇩🇪 Wintersdorf.

Additionally this bus timetable is a chaotic joke. Arrrrggghhhhh.

Not even speaking of that I use this bus via Germany because the Bienwaldbahn operates that infrequently on the French side that it's actually faster.

Replacement bus drivers who insist on stopping at the railway station rather than just quickly opening the door in the village center ... Do we know more about them ? :omya_sev: :omya_bus:

And an entire month of this bullshit still pending 😵‍💫.

Luggage packed, first #CrossBorderRail train caught : I'm leaving for three weeks of train travels today ; connecting the FOSDEM in Belgium via the Baltics, Kamchatka, Kazakhstan and China with the FOSSASIA in Thailand. My first destination will be 🇸🇮 #Ljubljana due to a business trip.

I gladly caught the last :db: 🤝🏽 :sncf: :fr_ter: :pride_fluo: RB52 / C38 on #Bienwaldbahn since the later ones are canceled.

Outfit : the #CrossBorderRail shirts from @jon !

And sad #Bienwaldbahn and #CrossBorderRail news : by putting the RE6 two minutes later there is no more way to change to the RB52 in Wörth SP rather than 30 minutes of travel time from Karlsruhe to Lauterbourg, it's now 1 hour. That's q joke. They could have just shifted the Bienwaldbahn 2 minutes later as well to have a working transfer. But I guess no one felt responsible.

@Lenaneko I need your cargo train advice : for my model railroad, I want one authentic, French cargo train. I have an Alstom Prima Diesel BB (4)75000 in SNCF Fret livery. I additionally have one 50' 6" "Ukraine Peace" Box Car. Can you propose me how to compose an n-gauge cargo train with a somewhat realistic composition ? Bonus if it every ran on #Bienwaldbahn .

Anyone else invited to suggest carriages as well ! #FollowerPower

@jon Little hint : On :reme_strasbourg_a09_rb52_lauterbourg_woerth_bienwaldbahn: #Bienwaldbahn, class 628 DMUs *and* class 643 DMUs run in shared operation. Around 60 % 628 and 40 % TALENT from my experience - and the TALENTs at least are low floor and have AC.

Our beloved SNCF spontaneously decided to run replacement busses. I saw that - at home - only three minutes prior to the departure of the replacement bus.

Glad the bus was two minutes late so I could still catch it by broadly waving from the bicycle on the street.
