@lewd.zug.network.ap.brid.gyThe first open access passenger train in Switzerland : Rolling :komfortcheckin: !
1.5 h delay because of :renfe: : Grund: Ereignis Italien :komfortcheckin: !
@pro-bahn.deEinmal quer durch die EU: Im Rahmen seiner Projektserie #Crossborderrail versucht sich Jon Worth an einer Rekordfahrt: Die längste in der EU (inkl. Schweiz) mögliche Bahnfahrt führt von Kemijärvi in Finnland nach Lagos in Portugal. Start war vorgestern und an der finnisch-schwedischen Grenze gab...
@alberto-cottica.mastodon.green.ap.brid.gyTonight is the inaugural journey of European Sleeper's Brussels-Milan journey. Will give it a try in the next season. Interested in hearing about other people's experience
Cc @jon #CrossBorderRail […]

@moritz-negwer.mstdn.science.ap.brid.gyThis evening I'll start my own #CrossBorderRail adventure. Fairly tame, I'll take a direct #nightjet sleeper train from Arnhem - München Ost. If all goes well, I should leave around dinnertime and be in Munich tomorrow morning (+ customary delay of ca. 2 hours or so).
First time I'll be […]
@alberto-cottica.mastodon.green.ap.brid.gyIt's a go! Two days of #CrossBorderRail (and a little sea): Messina - Villa San Giovanni - Milan - Paris - Brussels. Extreme business travel, really (about 2,500 kms), but this is where we are now with the #ClimateEmergency .
@simonmaarfield.bsky.socialPlus Snälltaget's not inconsiderable expansion programm of new #CrossBorderRail services should be supported. That they are more comfortable than Talgos and offer a dining car is simply a bonus 🤩
