And here we go again Stena Line ferry Frederikshavn 🇩🇰 - Göteborg 🇸🇪 Stena Line check in staff will not accept my German driver's license as proof that my name on my ferry ticket is me, and insists I show an ID card or passport. "Et tysk kørekort er ikke […] [Original post on gruene.social]

Denmark is missing a trick in the battle with Trump over Greenland They should rename the Kennedy Center in Aalborg into the Trunp Center to buy off Donald 🙂

I’m in the country of putting flags on everything

Trains in this part of Denmark 🙄 All ETCS equipped ✅ Overhead wires ✅ Passenger trains all ⛽️ Platform even in Vejle (6th biggest city) not properly disabled accessible 🦽 And live data is totally incomprehensible in Rejseplanen

Vejle fjord

Eisenbahnromantik near Dammtor I was not meant to stop at Dammtor

Eisenbahnromantik Tostedt No my train wasn’t scheduled to stop in Tostedt

In the south they have wine streets Here they have beet mountains 🫜

Waving to @_Hemmschuh who I think is driving that ICE into Saarbrücken 🙂

There was even a locomotives convoy at Nuits this morning. #CrossBorderRail

Departing Nuits on a sunny morning The birds are pooing on the SNCF sign, and the trains are keeping the bushes in check #CrossBorderRail

Aaaannnddd ECE 392 is a DSB rubber nose (diesel under wires the whole way), not a Talgo. Because 🤷‍♂️ even a year after the launch DSB and Talgo still cannot get the Talgo trains running correctly. Because Talgo builds shit. #CrossBorderRail

So tomorrow I am off on "holiday" (we'll see how relaxing it proves to be) And as ever, no flying Day 1 is Nuits-sous-Ravières - Skanderborg 🇩🇰 TODAY all the trains ran well enough to allow all connections to be reached. Will it be the same tomorrow? 😀 […] [Original post on gruene.social]

Being frugal for my trip starting tomorrow 😀 Only 30 rail apps on my phone! #CrossBorderRail

Glad to see the Baltic states 🇪🇪🇱🇻🇱🇹 are behaving like proper 🇪🇺 states when it comes to #CrossBorderRail ticketing... i.e. they're as dysfunctional as everyone else! Tomorrow: DB shows me 2 trains Tallinn - Riga Elron 🇪🇪: shows me both trains, tickets for […] [Original post on gruene.social]

SNCF is run by imbeciles, part 57855 It’s packed at Bercy But they put both departing trains from the same platform and won’t let anyone board until the toilet tanks are re-filled But the refilling van can’t get to the platform as the concourse is so packed 👏

In the Kortrijk - Lille #CrossBorderRail train SNCB is generally good with on board information, *except* here Every time it’s lousy No announcements, screens off You get the impression they care less about this one than they do about their other trains

Tourists are so lazy While the centre of Brugge is packed, towards the north and east of Zand it’s deserted. And charming

Want a pleasant experience in Brugge in the summer? 8:30 there is no one here. Perfect! (I’m here to work, but it’s a nice walk to my workshop)

The driver of this one didn’t get the message though #CarBloat

Good morning!

Shrug of the week: LFP Perthus sets new record, but it's still abysmal Bad week: Talgo submits documents too late to bid for new Spanish high speed train contract Elsewhere this week: Trouw about how to plan your summer holiday by train Photo of the week […] [Original post on gruene.social]

Today has been a bit manic, but my newsletter did go out as planned earlier 🙂 This week Analysis: Praha - Berlin - København: well at least the carriages can complete the entire journey Bullshit Meter, retrospective: Lisboa-Madrid to be a bit less painful […] [Original post on gruene.social]

Can SNCF Connect sell it? NO! Of course not It can sort of *find it* but you click BUY and it can sell you a ticket only to Tournai

And due to the stupid mess here, I need to go Lille - Tournai - Bruxelles - Brugge, rather than to Brugge then Bruxelles So I need a Lille Flandres - Tournai - Bruxelles *regular* i.e. non TGV ticket And SNCB International will not sell it in one go 😳

It’s your ****ing job to get us to our destination I don’t give a **** if you check tickets on the platform or not. Do it on board, it’s simpler And then your station doesn’t clog up with people!

Damn this railway is run by jerks Boarding passengers delay disembarking ones

My TER hit a deer en route to Paris this morning So I missed my TGV to Lille But I’m now standing in the bar Paris - Lille as every seat is sold out Because this is the timetable on a Friday between France’s 1st and 5th cities 🤷‍♂️

Moment of calm back in Ravières before DIY starts again

From the EP now to Sachsen‘s EU representation Map is missing Seifhennersdorf 😭
