# CrossBorderRail

Today’s #CrossBorderRail will involve Deutsche Bahn. Taking wagers on whether I will make it. I’m taking four trains and over 12 hours instead of a 1.5 hour flight to get there. 😇

#CrossBorderRail from London to Zürich starts with a bike ride to St Pancras.

A parked folding bicycle with a blue bag attached to the front rests against a tree on a city sidewalk. Wet pavement and fallen leaves are visible, indicating a rainy atmosphere.

Happy Baltic 🇱🇹 🇱🇻 🇪🇪 rail timetable coordination day 🎉 From today onwards you can *finally* go from Vilnius via Rīga and Valga to Tallinn in a day (the reverse also works) Getting stuck in Valga is no more One of my #CrossBorderRail campaign priorities is fixed! 💪

Most of my posts about railways are on Mastodon, but let's have a go at a thread on Bluesky as well - and see what people make of it! 🙂 Finally I am done sorting photos from #CrossBorderRail South East Europe 2024. In this thread: one photo from each of the days, and a link to the full Flickr album

A single train track in a poor condition runs through a rural area with dense greenery on both sides and through the tracks, mountains in the background, and a digger is parked on a truck near a road to the right

There are quite some misconceptions here on Bluesky about what all my various railway projects are *for* - probably because many here never saw all of this on Mastodon or Twitter So let's set it straight in a thread! 🧵 My main WORK is entitled #CrossBorderRail and this is a pic from it

A double track railway on a arched stone viaduct. Sun shines on the bridge and the bridge crosses forest and a river. There is a mill on the river above the bridge. The electification masts end in the middle of the bridge

It was only a month ago they finally sorted the timetables to allow a Vilnius - Tallinn rail trip in a day. But it needed 2 changes, and 3 tickets Starting today it needs 1 change and 1 ticket. Impressive #CrossBorderRail progress! 💪 www.15min.lt/verslas/nauj...

Guten Morgen aus Nové Zámky. Eigentlich hätten wir schon längst in Budapest sein sollen. Aber weil der Zug aus Polen, an den unsere drei Wagen angekoppelt wurde, ein Problem hatte, haben wir statt einer Stunde zweieinhalb Stunden in Breclav herum gestanden und wurden 3 oder 4 Male hin und her […]

Time to try some more #crossBorderRail with a Stadler FLIRT Liege to Maastricht. I hope the Dutch railway network is running better than Tuesday

So here we are, running almost on time to #ValenceTGV on the most retro #Alstom high-speed train on offer, passing flamingos, cement industries and far right-wing towns. Could it be any better? #RENFE #AVE #CrossBorderRail

Interrail question You cannot buy seat reservations for Portuguese trains outside of Portugal, but what are the actual reservations like now? Proper tickets? Or small receipt papers with QR codes on them? If it's the latter, can I risk it that a friend in Portugal buys the reservation for me […]
