Public transport observations and obscurities.
Finally managed to check out PENNY’s Berlin U-Bahn-themed supermarket at Leopoldplatz station tonight!

Lots of clever little touches and terrible puns. I love it! 💛

A wee trip on a previous generation of Berlin double deckers (including an encounter with the latest one). These were the first to be low floor in the mid-90s. Quite remarkable how airy and open the staircases were compared to the two subsequent models.

Guten Tag. Ich möchte gerne mit Ihnen über Hochleistungs-Eisenbahnen sprechen.

Thread (1/x)🧵.

Accessibility has come to the small Woltersdorf tram line just east of Berlin as its new low-floor trams enter service today. Built by Modertrans in Poland, four of them replace an ageing fleet of Gotha four-wheelers. Charming as they were, it’s good to see the service made more inclusive!

A very chilly final day at the end of December for Karlsruhe’s Turmberg funicular, which will (likely) be rebuilt and extended to connect with the city’s tram network.

Did you know that the Swiss Federal Council travels to state occasions on this special train?

This is a country that has internalised public transport into its national life!

Nice to see Deutsche Bahn’s latest Europe-liveried ICE recently, one of the first sets to feature the operator’s new interior design. It’s primarily allocated to Frankfurt–Cologne–Brussels/Amsterdam services, so you may well see it right next to a TGV!
