For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail for the Islands of Northern Europe here https://github.com/anisotropi4/magpie. My thanks goes to @openstreetmap as this is based on their data.

The GeoPKG file for the INE rail dataset is here https://github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/releases/download/v2.2.1/ine-rail.gpkg. This INE dataset includes a London Overground layer as visualized here, as I couldn't find this anywhere else.

Frecciarossa starts trials for new links to Munich from Milan and Rome.

Trial runs of Frecciarossa trains in Germany and Austria are paving the way for high-speed links between Rome, Milan and Munich.

The first services are planned for summer 2027.

Spousey and I are going to #3DPrintopia this month! Even better, we're riding the #Acela to Philadelphia to get there! We booked business class tickets last night. I've never ridden the Acela, and I might be looking forward to the train ride more than the show.

We are often told that high-speed rail lines cannot be used by freight trains, because of the wear and tear from heavy carriages. That does not seem to apply to the Perpignan–Barcelona route, where passenger trains at 300 km/h share tracks with freight trains.

I'll allow Carney to take as many trips to Europe as he wants. He's good at crafting a message for the room he's in, so I expect to hear more encouraging "middle powers" talk.

Longshot: maybe he'll ride a TGV or two while he's there 😉.

My latest video, ‘Shinkansen 88 – Back to the Future’ has just posted to YouTube.

Please let me know what you think, it’s more personal and I’d love to hear your thoughts –

lol, at least we Brits got as far as Birmingham.

It's all very pathetic though, we need more trains and fewer planes

Central Valley cities actively working against CA High Speed Rail, then citing delays and expense as a reason the project is unworkable. This is why big infrastructure projects are so difficult in America

Italians may help Germany get its trains to run on time.

Non-Europeans relying on stereotypes are often bemused to find that nowadays Italy’s trains are tip-top while Germany’s are in chaos.

Opening up national markets has worked wonders for European railways

US FRA invests $153m into intercity rail projects https://www.railway-technology.com/news/us-fra-invests-153m-intercity-rail/ #Trains #USpol

"US has been putting billions of dollars into #rail infrastructure since the passing of #Biden's bipartisan infrastructure law... The FRA is calling for applications from #IntercityRail projects... The funding continues the slew of grants given to #railway projects with tens of billions already granted to major projects including 2 #HighSpeedRail lines in #California and work along the Northeast Corridor"

The most important rail project that no one seems to know about in Southern California is Link US, which will create run-through tracks, meaning Union Station will have run-through service rather than be a stub.

This service is as important to future #regionalrail #highspeedrail #intercityrail service in Southern California as the Regional Connector project was to Metro Los Angeles. #rail #hsr #California #LosAngeles

This APT at Carlisle took me quite a while to draw, and publish. I finished it on Sunday, but since then i have been on two day-long hikes for my degree. I'm still quite sore from that. But I think the APT-P might be used to production delays.

This painting is based on a beautiful photograph of BR 370003 by Phil Sangwell.
