  1. Alsatien local newspaper praising gadgetbahn for a Colmar - Freiburg link rather than a real railway line. Oida, seriously ?

  2. One journey, one ticket: the EU plans to simplify cross-border rail travel.

    Buying train tickets that cover journeys across borders in the EU is about to get easier thanks to a European Commission proposal.

    The newly announced passenger package will see travellers able to make single-ticket bookings across multiple rail operators in one transaction.

  7. Eine:r von Euch #Bahnnerds weiß das doch sicher: Angeblich gibt's zwischen #Frankreich und #Spanien einen Möglichkeit mit dem Zug zur Grenze, zu fuß über die Grenze, dann mit dem Zug weiter zu reisen. Kann ich da einen Ort haben?

  8. RE: todon.eu/@redjives/11648412999

    Eurostat got back to me! tl;dr: I was right.

    “The user raises a valid methodological point. […] This wording may give the impression of unique international passengers or unique cross-border journeys. However, international passenger counts may include both outgoing and incoming movements and therefore carry a risk of double counting at EU aggregate level.”

    I have updated the blog post with their full reply: j-dv.com/blog/post/counting-cr

  9. Det är alltid smart att kolla priset både på Vy Sverige och Vy Norge (eller att byta region i appen och göra sökningen två gånger). Ibland kan priset skilja sig väldigt mycket för samma avgång!

  10. And we're inside the ComfortJet from Hamburg to Copenhagen (Kolding..)!

    The little Hobbit is still a bit sick so I don't expect to do much of a review.

    For now though: comfy seats, functional info system, lots of luggage space and a truly surprising amount of legroom. It's not often you can have a folded stroller in front of your legs.

    Basically: #DSB sell or repurpose your Talgo units and order a couple of these things right now! Your passengers demand it!

  11. J'ai essayé d'immortaliser ce très beau poteau à l'approche de #Bellegarde. Malheureusement le paysage gâche un peu la photo.

  12. O M G THE COMFORTJET HAS A FRICKING CHILDREN'S CINEMA.

    I can't wait to helicopter/eagle the Hobbit in there this weekend.

    Meanwhile the DSB Talgo trains running the same route have a broken coffee-machine and exposed 230v outlets as the height of children's entertainment.

    How can two brand new types of rolling stock, running the same long distance route at the same inflated ticket costs, be so inherently different?

    Where did it all go wrong #DSB?!?

  13. A brief report on the previous #CrossBorderRail leg of this journey from Barcelona to Paris:

    This was the first time I've taken the Intercités de Nuit to Paris from Cerbère, having gone the other way a couple of times. All good, and you don't have to rely on the #Rodalies at the other end.

    Speaking of which, I took the earlier departure from Barcelona to connect with the sleeper, not wishing to trust that the service due into Cerbère at 6pm would arrive in time for the 7pm departure north.

    Of course, the 4pm arrival was terminated at Port Bou, this fact announced to us on arrival. "You can take the French train," they said. Of course, because we had arrived late the next TER departure was after the following #Renfe one. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    On the plus side I did get to visit the memorial to @WalterBenjamin

  14. TIL: Mit der "TGV INOUI PRO"-App kann man Reservierungen, die bei Rail Europe gekauft wurden und sonst nicht bei :sncf_connect: CONNECT digitalisiert werden konnten, trotzdem digitalisiert werden.

    Danach kann man die Reservierung sogar in die gängigen Wallets werfen und auch direkt in der App umtauschen/stornieren, ohne, dass man einen französischen Fahrkartenautomaten braucht 🤯

    Des weiteren kann der Sitzplatz über eine grafische Sitzplatzwahl ausgesucht werden 😲😲😲

    Nachteil: die App kann nur französisch (oder ich bin der Sprache nicht genug mächtig, um die Einstellung zu finden) und man braucht ein SNCF-Konto (oder ich bin der Sprache nicht genug mächtig, um das zu überspringen)

  15. Koleje Śląskie (Silesian Railways) are taking the opportunity provided by engineering works around Katowice entering a new phase to address some passenger complaints with out-of-cycle timetable tweaks - this includes fixing a couple of glaringly dumb-looking broken connections from Slovakia in Zwardoń - the weekend-only Salmopol (to Gliwice via Bielsko-Biała, Chybie, Żory, Rybnik, Knurów) will be delayed to connect to train 4426 arriving 17:48, while on working days, train 94784 to Katowice will be delayed to connect with train 4430 arriving 19:48 (currently, these trains only connect on weekends - on working days, the 98784 was scheduled to depart just as the 4430 was arriving!). This is a major correction, as the original spring schedule would have left a massive gap with no onward departure on weekdays until 21:01 - more than halfway until the next train in the Slovak Takt! (for which there are still no onward connections): rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/k

  16. Rynek Kolejowy also interviewed the CEO of the newly created Lubuski Transport Publiczny, the Lubusz Voivodeship's idea for a train and bus operating company. The headline and lead float the idea that they could get started with the Lubsko and Międzychód lines that are being reactivated, though the topic isn't really expanded on in the article itself - and the position of LTP's CEO seems to be that it is currently more important to get timetables on the existing lines into shape, with a mininum being 2 h Takt on the local lines and 1 h Takt on the main lines. They are aiming receive the necessary safety certification for running trains by the end of this year and carve out maintenance space somewhere in Czerwieńsk - whether they manage a deal to take over the existing facilities from PKP CargoTabor or not.

    The subject of cross-border connections was also broached, with the interviewd guy noting that "particularly Cottbus […] is an unappreciated destination" (connections there are expected to improve if KD's plans materialize: mastodon.com.pl/@HaTetsu/11643): rynek-kolejowy.pl/wiadomosci/l

  23. Ok. We're ten minutes away from Kolding / my little Hobbit and their mom @juliette

    Quick summary of what I think of the DSB Talgo train: when it gets out of beta it'll be a decent yet boring train for trips of an hour or so.

    For this route, where many people are inside for five to six hours, it's absolutely the wrong train. Uncomfortably, not capable of dealing with overflow & tiring (loud, no nooks).

    Edit: "the wrong train" but much better than flying etc.

  27. 22:15 je décide de prendre le #Flixbus de 23:00. Si Dieu le veut je serai à Genève à 01:20. Tant pis pour rentrer jusqu'à #Montreux.

    Mais pourquoi n'avons nous pas pu aller jusqu'à #Bellegarde ? Je suis sûr que les tpg seraient venus nous chercher avec un bus... (4/4)

  28. Et #Nice! #Nizza!

    Donc en partant à 5:25, il est possible d'être à Nice à 10:00 avec des trains régionaux. Quid d'un train plus rapide et plus confortable? Facilement jouable...

    My train is a bit late, but my #Minuetto actually continues to #LimonePiemonte #Tende #BreilsurRoya & #Ventimiglia. Passing on this message that no 5 min change is needed would be useful/valuable information for anybody doing this #CrossBorderRail trip to #Nice.

  35. I 1897 (attennittisju):

    > Om sommeren var det forbindelse inn i Sverige, for da gikk det nattog mellom #Storlien og #Stockholm, og det kjørte så raskt at det tok igjen morgentoget et eller annet sted langt inne i Sverige. Og enda bedre, om sommeren hadde dette togparet en gjennomgående sovevogn mellom #Trondheim og Stockholm to dager i uka.

    Direkte #nattog mellom Trondheim og Stockholm hadde vært noe!

    Cosas de los años 2000 que ya no existen:

    "Fue a buscar su Tarjeta Europea para el tren y meditó sobre una manera de llegar a Lisboa por ferrocaril. [...]

    Saliendo de Ginebra, el viaje duraba veintiséis horas. Pasaba por París y por Irún, en el País Vasco, y desde allí se viajaba con el tren nocturno hasta Lisboa."
