Ausführlicher Artikel der Berliner Zeitung über die Probleme im europäischen Nachtzuggeschäft. Ich werde darin zusammen mit vielen anderen zitiert. #CrossBorderRail www.berliner-zeitung.de/mensch-metro...
Neue Nachtzug-Verbindungen nach Berlin: Doch das Hauptproblem bleibt
Nach Polen gibt es neue Routen, in die Niederlande sowie nach Belgien ist ein täglicher Betrieb geplant. Aber warum bleibt der Nachtzugbetrieb ein so schwieriges Geschäft?

Einst führte die Strecke bis Oradea. Bereits nach den 1. Weltkrieg wurde sie im Zuge der neuen Grenzziehungen unterbrochen und seither nie mehr wieder errichtet. Wäre die Vmax nicht oft bei rund 30 km/h, sähe ich hier hohes Potenzial für eine #CrossBorderRail Verbindung Debrecen - Oradea. #FOMOst

Summer 2022 when I was last here, groundworks for the new line Arad - Savirsin - Ilia were done, tracks laid, wiring not finished.
Now: groundworks for the new line Arad - Savirsin - Ilia are done, tracks laid, wiring not finished.
Why is this not complete? 🤔
It’s also TEN-T

Despite SJ not running the Berlin-Hamburg-Stockholm night train any more from August 2026, the German company that owns the carriages - RDC - intends to continue on its own www.rdc-deutschland.de/de/presse/pr...

Mit mir überqueren ca. 6 andere Reisende die Grenze. Damit ist kein Staat zu machen. Würde man etwa slowenische Züge aus Jesenice bis Gorizia mit Anschluss nach Venezia durchbinden, sähe ich hier durchaus gewisses Potenzial für #CrossBorderRail. …

A few photos from the start #CrossBorderRail today. The Canal de Bourgogne at Ravières in the fog on the way to the station. The old telephone sign at Nuits sous Ravières station. A Nez-Cassé SNCF locomotive at Dijon. And views climbing into the Jura from the window of the TGV.

In 2023 Seifhennersdorf got trains back after 8 years, and I was on the first one. But the station had been burnt by arsonists. Now they’re trying to fix that too! Amazing. ARD video about it: www.ardmediathek.de/video/mdr-sa... #CrossBorderRail
MDR SACHSENSPIEGEL: Sanierungsarbeiten am Seifhennersdorfer Bahnhof hat begonnen - hier anschauen
Eine Bürgerinitiative will das brandgeschädigte Bahnhofsgebäude im ostsächsischen Seifhennersdorf retten. Dank Förderung, Spenden und vielen ehrenamtlichen Helfern haben nun die Sanierungsarbeiten am ...

So I have an upside to France's government crisis 😀
An event next week I was due to attend in Paris is cancelled
So rather than Bourgogne - Paris - Strasbourg - Zürich, I am now going Bourgogne - Montreux - Zweisimmen - Zürich instead, on one of Switzerland's most scenic routes 😀
