  1. I closed my eyes and stuck my finger on a map of western Europe: ‘This is where we’re going on holiday!’

  4. My Eurostar into Paris was delayed by nearly an hour, causing me to miss my connection to Barcelona and my then-timely lunch opportunity. So, now I'm stuck for another hour at Paris Gare de Lyon waiting for the train to Perpignan. In the off-time, I took some time to get lunch at a place that's fun in Dutch.

    I'll get to Valencia a few hours later than scheduled tomorrow, but that's still well within the allowed error margins.

  6. I'm officially on my way to @pgconfeu

    Like last year, an early train out. This year my preferred route to Rotterdam (for the Eurostar to Paris) is unavailable due to rail maintenance around Amersfoort and Gouda, so I've had to reroute through Zwolle and Amsterdam Zuid for an additional hour of travel time.

  17. 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.

  20. How many railway discount travel cards do you own?

    Not talking about frequent travelers card like the Eurostar carte blanche.

    Only things like "network railcard", family cards, 16-25 cards, where you pay a small amount, achieve some age, number conditions and get a discount on your ticket
