Platform Screen Doors are fine and dandy, until the driver doesn't seem to be able to stop in the correct place, and has to slowly creep forward at every stop!!

I guess better than being too confident and overshooting, but still...

you didn't post anything about the curtains!!

In comparison, this one of their older Stadler units (still not the original ones, cause they sold off those to DB, and now ÖBB has them)

One of Westbahn's CRRC-made Panda EMUs arriving at St. Pölten Hbf station on service 917 to Vienna West

Interior near the staircase with a small bar and food vending machine and a generally nice finishing of the walls and so on

Interior on the upper deck

I really wonder about Westbahn's economics, providing an open-access train service that doesn't feel cheap (like Flixtrain) and yet I can travel on it with a VOR Verbund ticket. But I'm not complaining 😁

Unlike Friday, Westbahn's booking system was correct, so I finally made my first trip (I think) on a Chinese-made train, a CRRC Zhuzhou Panda going from St. Pölten to Vienna

Interior felt a bit like someone activated dark mode, but otherwise not worse than Westbahn's Stadler EMUs

Vicemt war einfach der Mann für Amore

I mean there are certainly some trains in the S21 schedule that aren't certain to run yet, you can always not run some late night or weekend trains. Or also stuff like RE77 Stuttgart-Heidelberg via high-speed line

Landtagswahl Angel-Sachsen

Grüne und CDU in Baden-Württemberg haben sich dem Vernehmen nach in den Sondierungsgesprächen über eine Neuauflage der gemeinsamen Koalition auch auf die Verteilung der Ministerien geeinigt. Demnach soll die CDU künftig auch das Kultusministerium und das Verkehrsressort führen, die bisher von den Grünen geleitet wurden. Damit übernimmt nach 15 Jahren auch wieder die CDU die politische Zuständigkeit für Stuttgart 21. Die CDU behält außerdem das Innen-, das Wirtschafts-, das Landwirtschafts- und das Justizministerium.

are u kidding me

*three new stations: Rheinfelden-Warmbach, Bad Säckingen-Wallbach, Waldshut West

tricking my superiors into me making a map for work 😈

A Stadler GTW EMU on Waldshut's platform 5 as the S36 service to Bad Zurzach

Crossing the Rhine on a very old bridge (can't really be seen)

The same EMU at Koblenz station

A classic SBB Domino EMU arriving Koblenz as the S27 back to Waldshut

Waldshut also has already electric cross-border trains to Koblenz (the Swiss one 🇨🇭).

They cross the Rhine on the river's oldest existing railway bridge from 1859, but it was recently closed for 2½ years (they found asbestos 😬)

Class 641 DMU at the new platform at Weizen Sto that only recently opened

Departure board at Weizen Sto seeing two trains on weekdays to Waldshut: at 6:10 and 14:10/14:27

The DMU at the platform next to the Sto, a colour factory

Just a couple of meters from Weizen station is the Wiizener Steg, a wooden bridge across to Switzerland. This is not a coincidence: the Wutach branch line, which continues to Immendingen via Blumberg, was built as a war-time line avoiding Swiss territory

Also travelled on the RB37. That branch line is slowly reopening, up to Stühlingen it's every 2 hrs since 2024. The bit to Weizen only sees 2tpd on weekdays & Sunday connections to Sauschwänzlebahn steam trains. On my trip, we were 2 pax against 3 staff (driver, conductor, level crossing flag guy)

A rare sight: two regular diesel passenger trains at a railway station in Switzerland, Basel Badischer Bahnhof: on the left a three-car double-decker set hauled by 245 037 as the RE3 to Friedrichshafen Stadt, on the right a class 644 DMU on the RB30 to Lauchringen

Waldshut station already undergoing construction with a new platform emerging from the mud. A class 612 DMU is standing at the old platform on a service to Basel

Derelict platform at Tiengen (Hochrhein). Between Waldshut and Erzingen the line is currently single-track with only one crossing station at Lauchringen (sort of). However, during the electrification works, the old second platform at Tiengen will be reactivated so trains can also cross there, enabling more train services on the line

Strange set up at Waldshut with a double crossing switch and the lone electrified terminating track with a Swiss EMU

Small trip to travel on the Hochrheinbahn a last time before electrification so that I can have a before and after. The project also sees two new stations, full rebuild of all existing ones, and two new crossing loops.

The line will close in two weeks with full reopening planned for late 2027 🚧⚡

🥹 hoffe die neue Regierung macht dann auch eine Politik, die das reflektiert

has a party that didn't exist in the previous election ever gotten a two-thirds majority in a national election (in an election system favoring the incumbent)?

Current estimates of results: 52,8% Tisza, 38,55% Fidesz, 6% Mi Hazánk

Telex news with some key information about the pending election result: "Viktor Orbán admitted defeat and congratulated Péter Magyar on his victory"

are we back?

Okay CTA. This is a good sign.

ooh sehr guter Fund

they really went for "we can equip double as many stops if we only put one display". Another stop had the display on one side, but angled so that you can also see it from the other side

Departure display at a Mainz tram stop positioned in between the tracks

lol never seen a departure display positioned like this

路 (lu) is road, 门 (men) is gate and 山 (shan) is mountain, not sure about the others

Ooh, aber schade dass es nicht ganz die gleiche Schriftart zu sein scheint

Standard German blue station sign with white text, displaying the name "Herzberg am Harz" with a decorative additional sign saying "...die Esperanto-Stadt ... la Esperanto-urbo"

Station sign in red with white text displaying the name "Holzgerlingen Hülben". Also sign for saying it's platform 2 "Richtung Böblingen" and a stop marker for 25 m long trains

Station sign in white (or maybe, as stated in the text, faded yellow) with black text saying "Kirchheimbolanden"

I wonder if there are more colours other than blue, red and white (or maybe it's faded yellow?)

I guess a full rainbow will be too difficult though :D

Construction information with three different subphases on a rail line be like 😴

Your result: German

Hmm :D

Screenshot Nextbike app showing electric rental bikes in Aachen

Seems like yes

Seems like the place and the stop don't exist anymore?

Oh haha wann bist du Schönbuchbahn gefahren? Hab ich auch noch gemacht
