Der Laie wundert sich, der Profi nickt wissend.
Der Rekordversuch auf der lΓ€ngsten Zugstrecke Europas ist vorbei. Probleme machte nicht etwa die Deutsche Bahn, sondern Schweden, Spanien und Portugal.

I admit when in Haparanda I doubted I would get here. But once I started to get going, this worked out quite well. Analysis and photos to follow, for now I am going to get a beer in Lagos somewhere! π #LongestTrainEU

Itβs an incredible station, and it and the whole old Expo park there are a photographers dream. Definitely a place to take lots of influencer photos, if thatβs your vibe. But Iβm guessing you are sensibly rather more focussed on the #LongestTrainEU
On the train Lisboa Oriente - Tunes now. The penultimate leg of #LongestTrainEU
At 22:28 BST / 23:28 CEST we should finally be there!
And the #LongestTrainEU data is up to date
The data for the last train I am due to take is prepared π
Meanwhile this thread is also close to setting some record - the longest and largest thread ever posted on Fediverse π₯³
Meanwhile this is totally the #LongestTrainEU spirit! π
