Ein Güterzug fährt vor einem Weingut vorbei, durch die Perspektive sitzt das Gutshaus direkt auf einem Güterwagen.
Die Tatsache, dass du dich kurz gefragt hast, ob der Zug ein ganzes Weingut geladen hat, sagt viel über die Fähigkeiten von Güterzügen aus.

European Commissioner Apostolos Tzitzikostas @ec.europa.eu said:
"Improving high-speed rail, especially across borders, is our top priority. And I am especially proud that it is the first of the ten pilot projects supported by the European Commission to promote new cross-border rail connections."
Hej, Hallo, Ahoj👋
International long-distance rail transport is booming, and a new direct rail connection Prague-Berlin-Copenhagen will give it another boost.
@deutschebahn.com, @ceskedrahyofficial.bsky.social & DSB, are partnering to offer this new direct rail connection, starting on May 2026.
In Kooperation mit der dänischen (DSB) und tschechischen Bahn (ČD) wird es ab Mai 2026 eine neue Zugverbindung geben, die die drei Hauptstädte klimafreundlich und ohne Umsteigen miteinander vernetzt. Mehr Infos: www.deutschebahn.com/de/presse/pr...

Rail freight supports decarbonisation while offering long-term socio-economic returns ⬇️
The new #NetZero Logistics study highlights rail freight’s vital role in building a competitive and climate-neutral transport system across Europe.

Feeling the impact, Europeans are ready to take action:
🔴 A new EU survey reveals that a large majority of European citizens would swap planes for high-speed trains to travel between European countries.
Over five thousand interviews were conducted across Europe to understand EU citizens’ perceptions of transport connections between European countries, their likelihood of travelling by high-speed rail within Europe, and their views on transport infrastructure investments.

This new European perception survey comes at a key moment, as @ec.europa.eu prepares to launch a plan, requested by President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu, for a European High-Speed Rail Network connecting all EU capitals and major cities.
