@martinjordan.comSwiftly over to King’s Cross station for the last regular train up to Edinburgh.
I missed my original LNER connection and had to purchase a new LUMO train ticket for another £35.
The last leg of the #CrossBorderRail journey tonight takes a bit over 4 hours to Waverley station.
@martinjordan.comLondon calling!
Eurostar ran very smoothly — as (almost) always.
And international arrivals is fast as always—even enough time for buying snacks at St Pancras station.
I’m now 12.5 hours into my #CrossBorderRail journey for today.
@martinjordan.comMade it to Brussels after a delay of almost 2.5 hours—time to relax at the #Eurostar lounge now.
Trusting Eurostar and its timings, I usually book myself a Lumo train up to Edinburgh, the last regular train out of London.
I really hope I can catch that.
@martinjordan.comChange in Cologne, unfortunately, with a 101-minute delay.
Despite my 2 buffers of 90 mins each, I will miss my planned Eurostar in Brussels and LNER connection in London.
I hope I can catch the final regular evening connection to Edinburgh, but that will require a new ticket.
@martinjordan.comAnd off I am from Berlin to Edinburgh for @sdingov.bsky.social on a single-day train journey!
🇪🇺 🚄
Next stop: Cologne
Random fact: Pret in Berlin doesn’t offer porridge anymore, and the staff thought I asked for ‘pork’ and meant ham. I did not.
@justinstares.bsky.socialFitting: a special Brussels–Berlin train to get Europe's rail people to InnoTrans, their big trade fair. Now for a regular one. Of note on the EU list today, from @jonworth.eu's #CrossBorderRail file.

@simonmaarfield.bsky.socialDoes anyone know when the track works on the R3 Latour de Carol / Puigcerdà - Vic - Barcelona #Rodalies rail line will finish? I see these are currently an excuse to reduce service at upper end of the line to a measly 2.5 train pairs per day. #CrossBorderRail @seatsixtyone.bsky.social @jonworth.eu

@stromausfall13.bsky.socialHey, @jonworth.eu - are you going to include ferries between, dunno, maybe Le Havre and Québec City in your #crossborderrail project? 😉

And @deanerschnitzel was right, there are power sockets for the laptop.
