Happy December! ❄️
Today marks the first day of the very very very very stupid replacement of Athenian trolleys by e-buses.
Did I mention that it’s *very* stupid?

Just read that the Athenian Metro Authority (STASY) will install AI cameras in Acropolis Station to measure the effect of fare evaders. This might be the worst choice, as most of the passengers there are tourists and I don’t believe they will want to evade, there are gates everywhere.

It’s interesting to note that 0,6% points is very subtle. Can’t wait for more info to come out.

Last night there were two O405N buses at the terminus of trolley lines 5 & 14 in Galatsi, Athens. Both displaying route number 054 and with passengers onboard, but did not start any journey while I was nearby.
The important bit here is that neither 054, nor any other regular bus serve this stop.

Does anyone want to see some O405N buses? They recently replaced many YUTONG E12 e-Buses in Athens, I still don’t know the exact reason.
Thank god for batteries 🪫

Back in Greece now, travelling from Patras to Thessaloniki via Athens. The track condition is very bad compared to other countries like Italy or (especially) Austria. So much movement, so much noise. Also we started with a 9 minute delay due to other trains in front of us. The train is almost full 🥲

The EC 31 Zürich HB - Bologna C.le was so on time that we arrived 8‘-15‘ ahead of schedule in Italian stations. Also the AV 9805 arrived at Milano Rogoredo at 10:31 instead of 10:43. What is happening with delays in northern Italy and the planners are so cautious? 😅

Arriving at Basel Bad Bf on the ICE 77 the conductor announced the station and the connections and then asks all passengers with destinations in Switzerland and Italy to stay onboard till the next station, Basel SBB.
I‘m thinking of all the less train-savvy people who lost connections this way 🥲

Weiß jemand, wann es Probefahrten auf der neuen Strecke der Koralmbahn gibt?
Gibt es auch eine Website wie oev-info.ch für die österreichischen Eisenbahnen? 🤓

More good news from the Peloponnese meter gauge!
A new operator "Levante Trains" will run trains on the Katakolo (Port) - Pirgos - Ancient Olympia line beginning first half of 2026. One round trip per day, leaving about 4 hours in Olympia.
Cruise passengers will be the target of these trains.

At some point it might be a good idea to fix the lights of the NightJet 2 sets and make them *not* dim from 20% -> 100% -> 0% and all over again the entire ride. Also when they’re at 0% the screens turn off. It’s such a good system and it works very smoothly, but it does the wrong things. Smoothly.

Excellent explainer of the situation of the main railway axis of Greece. Must read.
Coming back to this one for a more analytic explanation and how we could - in the long term - see a travel time of 3 hours between Greece's largest cities. A thread on the current problems as well as planned and potential solutions. (1/19)
102. Speaking of Hellenic Train, completion of P.A.Th.E./P. so that the trip time between Athens and Thessaloniki drops to the anticipated 3 hours and something from the current 4:53 with only four roundtrips per day.

Suburban Railway of Patras, Antheias Stop, right by the international port of Patras (Italy) and the new mall (across the street on the right). The impatience of drivers can be observed from the first second of the video, up to the last. This is the crossing with the most accidents in the last years
