Letzten Papierabzug habe ich 2011 machen lassen.
Letzte Ansichtskarte habe ich wohl 2013 geschrieben. Ungelaufene und bei mir angekommene auch neuer.
(z.B. #Crossborderrail Karten von @jonworth.eu)

Modern PKPIC carriages next to an LTG Pesa 730 ML at a small railway stop.

The Kyiv-Express leaving Warszawa eastbound. The train consists of some domestic PKPIC seating carriages and a bunch of Ukrzalitsnyzia RIC wagon-lits with one notably in the new livery rather than the classic blue-yellow one.

Bathroom with shower, sink and toilet in a night train.

Last miles back home : During day 16 of my journey, I made it to my last :kb_liege: night train for a while.

The day began in 🇱🇹 Vilnius with an :ltg: Pesa 730 ML ride on the international link to 🇱🇹 Mockava, where there's the break of gauge between Soviet track […]

That’s what happens when everyone has cocked up the tendering and entry into service of the new #CrossBorderRail Régiolis trains

better with only one notable downside of ticketing mess which is not unlike #crossBorderRail woes.

@jon Do you know about the PKP RIC-style carriages parked in Vilnius apparently on broad gauge boogies ? I'm quite confused, what are they doing here ? Are those SUW 2000 ? Were they forgotten here years ago or are they here actually to experiment with regauging again ?

#CrossBorderRail

Also very funny : The ZSSK still publish the SCIC-EWT regulation with the :ktz: KZH, :rzd: RZD and :bc: BC 😅.

Let's hope for a good future where such tickets will be possible again 🕯️.

Modern departure hall of Vilnius with a ticket counter, wooden benches and a couple of people waiting.

After a total travel time of 12:30 h today, I reached 🇱🇹 Vilnius with a little delay.

I'm exhausted since I didn't sleep a lot last night so I directly walked over to the Panorama Hotel most railway transit passenger might be familiar with.

While the timetables […]

Does anyone know what happened to the :uz: WLBm carriages ? Scrapyard ? I mean, they used to have a giant fleet of RIC second class sleeper carriages along with their present running RIC wagon-lits WLABm wagons 🤔 ?

#DuckDuckFedi #CrossBorderRail

I will write more about the day tomorrow morning.

For now I'm just happy to be back in 🇪🇺 Europe.

Oh, and a friendly :omya_pkp_ic: for charging me 300 (!!!) EUR for a sleeper reservation from 🇵🇱 Warszawa to 🇩🇪 Muenchen.

And here’s Europe’s newest night train, departing Paris Nord for Berlin

Good job European Sleeper! 👏

A bus station wall advertising busses to Switzerland, Italy, the UK, Czechia, Romania and Morocco

Yesterday in Castelló de la Plana I saw this ad in the bus station for busses to all sort of far flung countries.

It just seems ridiculous that we don’t have trains that can go that far too. #CrossBorderRail

Interrail not listed among reductions

Interrail not listed on the second screen

However none of them can sell me what I need: an Interrail seat reservation for a TGV later in my #CrossBorderRail trip

This used to be possible. But SNCF removed it from machines because they’re *****

And I have a #CrossBorderRail public event confirmed now

28th April, 14:00, in... Tirana 🇦🇱

Just in case I have any Mastodon followers there 🙂

And yes, to get there it's a train Beograd-Podgorica, then a bus Podgorica-Tirana.

To get away it's a bus Tirana-Durres, and a ferry Durres-Bari!

Off to Paris this morning to go to the launch of the new European Sleeper night train this evening

There won’t be a full #CrossBorderRail thread but there will be some updates

And as ever the ticket for my TER to Paris was booked with @12train.bsky.social this morning with the minimum of fuss

€39 to Liege

€95 to Bruxelles

There's yield management

And there's WTF 🤯 yield management

Morning of Friday 5th June I need to go to either Bruxelles or Maastricht (I don't know which yet). If Maastricht I will change in Liège

Tickets then...

Paris - Bruxelles, Eurostar
€95 single […]

Simon Maarfield over on Bluesky has pointed out an alternative, if somewhat long-winded, route from Spain to Porto, crossing by bus from Salamanca to Vilar Formoso (or straight through to Porto).

Odcházení ČD na západě. Soutěž na Bavorské expresy vyhrál Leo Express, oznámilo ministerstvo - Zdopravy.cz Není jasné, zda se Leo Express domluví s německým dopravcem, smlouva připouští ukončení vlaků na hranicích.

Will there still be a direct train every two hours between Munich / München and Prague / Praha from mid December? Possibly not, given Leo Express has won the contract on the Czech side and isn't obliged to run the trains in cooperation with the Länderbahn #CrossBorderRail

Damn #CrossBorderRail is getting harder and harder 😡

I have found a way to get to Vireux-Molhain 🇫🇷 - Treignes 🇧🇪 in May

But can I find a way to cover

Bad news for #CrossBorderRail between Spain and Portugal: one of the two only passenger trains connecting both Iberian countries will be partly replaced by a bus for a year because of engineering works in Galicia.

This is an excellent piece. And having spent a lot of time in some of the poorest corners of Hungary for #CrossBorderRail I can confirm it’s grim. I so much hope Orbán loses!

Thanks Jon! You sadly never know with SNCF, but it does seem weird that they can't reroute or even have a slower connection on that train even with works. I really hope for some more competence in European #crossborderrail one day!

It's great that @europeansleeper.eu is starting up it's night train route instead, just a bit bizarre that exactly when that starts he ICE disappears from the timetable... Especially over the important Easter holidays! Don't tell me you're "prioritising" national trains? #crossborderrail

Heute am Programm: Fahrt von Miramare nach Gorizia, um endlich die #CrossBorderRail Verbindung nach Nova Gorica auszuprobieren, dann gab es Kaffee im dortigen Bahnhofscafé. Weiters Mittagessen in einer lokalen Trattoria in Gorizia, und Besuch von Udine und Palmanova (war schon lange auf der Liste).
