Braid in trains :lesbian_uz: - solidarity with :streik:

@publicvoit I sadly need to get off my EuroNight at that time.

When France approval for ICE L ? I wanna do Frankfurt - Karlsruhe - Strasbourg - Mulhouse, so basically TER200 extended to Germany.

What does one do in #Malmö at 4 a.m. ? Asking for a friend 😵‍💫.

Who has actually allowed @_Hemmschuh to travel French :fr_icn: without cuddling me 🥺 ? That's mean !

I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate Berlin. I hate […]

The #MostDirectConnection between Berlin and France is obviously via the Øresund, right ? #DSBTalgo #Schedule2026

* waves to @wrzlbrnft right behind her ICE 👋🏽

Wow, #Schedule2026 so far contained a regression for travels between Karlsruhe and Lauterbourg where the transfer in Wörth is no longer possible.

Today, I wrote an email to the competent bureau of public transportation of Rhineland-Palatinate explaining the issue with the modified schedule for […]

(And I still love how :cd_rail: just attach a "real" dining car just at the end of ComforJet trainsets on some links.)

Controversial opinion : :cd_rail: ComfortJet and InterJet are really good trains and I'm looking forwards to having them in service as :railjet: all over Europe next year !

(In particular, it's no longer possible to buy a "full compartment" in the ÖBB app and getting the reservations individually to fill a compartment seems to be a counter task.)

It's been 0 days since a :db: Reisezentrum couldn't sell me a simple :nightjet: reservation. It's ridiculous how in some countries you *only* get tickets at the counter whereas enshitification in western Europe causes most tickets to be solely available online - but without any advanced booking […]

@jon Do you know people from #Sofia / #Dimitrovgrad / #Bulgaria in general who could help me getting a Sofia-Istanbul-Ekspresi reservation in advance ?

And any suggestions where to book InterRail reservations on :cfr: contingents ? I'm trying to reserve the Priternia through carriages from Kyiv with an InterRail pass starting from the Moldavian-Romanian border ?

(No, Muj Vlak and ÖBB don't even know about the existence of the train.) […]

Argh, why didn't :mav: and :gysev: publish their international train junctions for #Schedule2025 yet ? Trying to look up the Gy 8 / EC 40347 / D 347 "Ung" / "Dacia" for next year ... Any detailed information on the itinery from Lököshaza and Zahony / Uzhhorod / Chop on ?

@vorortanleiter

Ah, damn, no, Khorgos was removed from the permitted ports of entry again. Damn. So it's gonna be the fun of requesting a regular visa at the embassy. Wish me luck.

Good #FOSSRail news : Khorgos railway station is included in the 240 hours visa-free entry to China, so apparently I won't need a Chinese visa application to enter Xinjiang and China. That's gonna be interesting. I somehow doubt they'll let me enter in Xinjiang without any permit. Let's see.

@jon @JeDi Why not let me on ? If I have a ticket ? Don't thet do the border check later on at Dorohusk ?

A 16 minutes change in Chelm including the border check from Poland to Ukraine :rosahaj_thinking: ?

Any experiences ? @JeDi @jon

@rail (Also, I've been traveling via Przemysl the last couple of times and Chelm has been quite a while.)

@rail Yeah, but transfers in Przemysl are always annoying. If I can't get a ticket for one of the through-carriages on the Kyiv Express, I'll travel by PKP to Chelm and hop into the train via Kovel anyways. Other considered option was Bruxelles - Berlin - Swinoujce - Przemysl, but again, the […]

@rail I had to waste a couple of nights due to the biweekly trains in Turkey - and I wanted to add a hop to Kyiv Hackerspace Wednesday afternoon + I never traveled the 099K since it got its through-carriages to Bucuresti - all reason enough to travel via Kyiv !

The most direct connection from 🇧🇪 Bruxelles to 🇮🇷 Tehran is :

- :european_sleeper: ES 453 🇧🇪 Bruxelles via 🇳🇱 Amsterdam to 🇩🇪 Berlin
- :pkpic: :kb_ec: EuroCity to 🇵🇱 Warszawa
- :uz: 068L Warszawa Kyiv Express to 🇺🇦 Kyiv
- :uz: 099K Pritenia via 🇲🇩 Ungheni to 🇷🇴 Bucuresti
- :cfr: & :bdz: local […]

Not me who just booked a spontaneous trip to Sweden this weekend in order to catch the first :dsb: Talgo 👀.

Thank you, @krufter_ofen 🫣👀😇.

Screenshot of CFF Mobile with no option to select a seat reservation only.

Am I stupid ? I'm trying to get a seat on a combined inner-swiss InterCity with interchange to an international EuroCity and all it offers me is this.

How for hell can I reserve a seat in :cff: CFF Mobile ? Like, no ticket, but just a simple, stupid seat reservation ?

Feels weird to say, but : maybe a :nightjet: is cheaper ?

EUR 430 for a damn Flexpreis from Lauterbourg to Berlin ? Are you kidding :db: ?
