Current status: remote office on rails through Italia. We will be 50min late in Bologna but I should still make it to Rome late afternoon.

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

#CrossBorderRail

For a rediculously unviable #CrossBorderRail they receive amazing press advertisements in Alsace. Now featuring : a Gadgetbahn.

Loooong #CrossBorderRail day today, Arad to Krakow with changes in Budapest and Breclav. Here's some snaps from Arad station this morning.

so many #CrossBorderRail TER services will be impacted! /s

Finally downloaded the photos from the Douro line Régua - Pocinho 🇵🇹 from yesterday. These turned out well! It's a stunning line. #CrossBorderRail

No rest here. Off goes @ourmaninberlin.bsky.social to Faro, and I’m changing in Tunes and trying to get to Pocinho today. The 24h delay to #LongestTrainEU makes my #CrossBorderRail the next few days quite complicated!

Zum Thema internationale Zugtickets: ich habe keine Idee, wie man für diese Verbindung Tickets für 2 Menschen und 2 Fahrräder kauft (obwohl alle Züge Fahrradmitnahme haben). Das Problem ist vermutlich, dass 3 Länder und 3 Staatsbahnen beteiligt sind.

Irgendjemand eine Idee?

#CrossBorderRail update, I got dinner, with 20 minutes to spare (including 30 min walk in each direction, next post will be a review of the restaurant I ended up in Stuttgart).

Now waiting for the NJ to show up (which means waiting for the 20:09 to get out of the way).

And here comes my first train, ICE 9553 arriving from Paris. (It’s a #CrossBorderRail though I’m taking it after it crossed the border).

And here starts by #CrossBorderRail trip.

My arrival in Stuttgart is already at +42, planning 3h for the connection onto the NightJet was a wise move it seems.

(Still interested in a good rec for dinner in Stuttgart).
