@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy(I guess other people look at their vacation photos when coming back from a trip. Personally, I reminisce over the better functioning timetables.)
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThese visualisations of a day of trains in various countries have been going for a while, but I just saw one of Switzerland pop up on my feed.
And it got me thinking, since Switzerland has a Taktfahrplan… why not beatmatch the music to the Takt?
Please […]

@bovine3dom @moof Yeah I’m not jealous, just for the record.
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@moof You picked a VERY good day for this journey 😍
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyAaaaand I’m back home. A bit of contrast coming from hiking in shorts in Switzerland to waking up to views of frosty mountains from the night train back home.
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyAh yes, the classic zh_SE locale on the door leading to the power unit on this X2000 (This unit was initially sold to China and later bought by SJ back to Sweden, apparently they kept some trivia since!)
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyA little AJC later and we’re onto the next X2C (upgraded X2000) and should still be more than fine to make our final night train tonight! The seats on this train are an upgrade from whatever train you came from before. Hard to beat this new X2000 interior.
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyStatus of my journey home in one picture. (To no fault of Snälltåget - it was just the usual Hamburg - Padborg shenanigans.)
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyThanks #OpenTransport2026 for an amazing week. Learned and laughed a lot. See and talk to you all soon!
Now it’s time for me to fall asleep on this Nightjet new generation built in 2020-something hauled by a Re 420 built in 1974. Old meets new in one of the best ways possible surely.
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@moof It’s in Germany as far as my data sources say. There is no railway border point for the tram, though. The closest border point is Basel Bad Bf, same location code as the passenger station which is unusual.
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyI threw an in the moment comment on the Youtube video for the stupid DHH keynote at Rails World and am now discovering my own quote has done rounds in the Rails community. It even got memes made! A bit odd bumping into your own words in multiple places in a community I’ve never had any […]
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyToday we rode the Brienz-Rothorn-Bahn which is still hauled by steam power! Just a casual 2250 masl top station that was built in the 1800s.
Hiking up here was a bit more extreme. It’s possible to follow a ridge for 20 km to get back to Interlaken, but that […]
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@moof @bovine3dom In either case (CIV 1087 or 1088), the reseller can only make changes according to the ticket conditions, ie cancel up to 30 mins after departure. After that you need to make a claim to the carrier (based on the CIV number on your ticket).
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@moof @bovine3dom Given how you booked this, I would assume your ticket has CIV 1088 and/or an SNCB logo somewhere on it? These are handled also by SNCB’s systems so that would be why you can’t make changes directly with SNCF. This is the same we do at Railfinder at the moment.
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gyHaving some fun this weekend in Central Switzerland riding old mountain trains and hiking. Yesterday we took the Schynige Platte-Bahn hauled by a He 2/2 loco which must have been one of the earliest electric mountain railways? Details welcome if anyone knows! […]
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@moof Try specifically getting an AJC delay confirmation? Say you’re on your way to Sweden or something where they don’t have access to the Railteam realtime data system 😅
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@Sobex @cycling_on_rails @q This won’t actually work, and we’re currently investigating how to handle these cases.
SNCF has a commercial limit of 3 trains on one through-ticket, so if you try to book a connection with 4 or more it will simply always be unavailable.
Railfinder is built to […]
@stefanlindbohm.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy@interrailinfosvenska Såg att de har gjort så här för att minska risken att folk missar slutet på rean, dvs annonsera midnatt men låt reapriserna ligga kvar till morgonen efter. Återförsäljare har dock inte hajjat poängen och kör sitt eget race med egna nedräknare så helt bra blev det nog inte.

i have only had a mastodon account for three years so i don't know how it works. but i think you usually can't see replies deep in threads on your main feed?
