  1. 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 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 github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/. This INE dataset includes a London Overground layer as visualized here, as I couldn't find this anywhere else.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. 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 😉.

  10. 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 –

  11. 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

  13. For those interested in such things, here is a set of scripts to extract and filter data associated with rail from the full planet @openstreetmap dataset. The GeoPKG file for rail dataset is github.com/anisotropi4/magpie/.

    This identifies railway features, line speed and electrification scheme based on metadata.

    The associated source code and repository is here: https://

    Edit: to add links to GeoPKG files.

  14. 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

  15. Will 2026 be the year Europe’s night trains finally take off?

    A European night train renaissance has long been teased, but in reality, it has been slow to materialise.

    New night trains are launching across Europe, but funding gaps and ageing infrastructure still threaten their revival.

  20. Seven consortiums that have submitted #concept #proposals to develop the #KualaLumpur-Singapore #HighSpeedRail (#HSR) project will be in intense competition

    Three of the seven consortiums, comprising a total of 31 companies, are believed to be led by #BerjayaGroup, #YTLGroup & #ChinaRailway respectively

    In addition to #rollingstock manufacturers, the bidders have roped in local & foreign firms with experience in various fields

  21. @pinhman @themayortv in any case, it’s time for a major #interprovincial grid tie, and while you do that, electrify freight #trains and build a #TransCanada #highspeedrail . Feed in #wind , #solar, and buffer with #hydro and #batteries

  22. @GrahamDowns I love flying and I like driving, but maybe you have to experience working #PublicTransport to really appreciate how awesome it is and why property prices actually rise and do not fall 🙂

    Because then also the lifestyle you describe is possible without cars and with you having to drive your kids everywhere every day.

    That is actually on of the (few... 😀 ) things I am missing a lot here in #Johannesburg & #SouthAfrica in general.

    When I am in #Germany, I am traveling a lot between '#Munich and #Hamburg currently (about 620km as the crow flies). I am practically always doing that by #IntercityExpress (ICE) trains, the German #HighspeedRail network. It is about 7h from door to door, approx an hour or two more than flying but a bit cheaper and much more convenient.

    I buy one ticket which includes the #subway in Munich and Hamburg, I need to be at the train station only 5-10min before the train departs. I have #Wifi in the train and ample space to work, read, sleep. There is a dining car or in First Class (which is a bit more spacious) service at your seats.

    Unlike when flying, I don't spend an hour waiting here, standing in the security queue, waiting an hour there, flying one hour etc.

    If I miss a train, no problem, there are at least hourly connections between all major and medium sized cities (something like #RichardsBay or #Makhanda in South Africa), so I take the next one.
