23 pages of manure (literally, sometimes. I hate manure) that is the extreme-right Dutch Agreement can contain interesting stuff nevertheless. For #crossborderrail there's two sentences (both on page 9):
'In the border regions, good rail connections with the neighboring country are essential.'
´There will be a proposal for cross-border rail transport, including the connection of five train stations to international HSL lines (e.g. Hengelo, Venlo, Heerlen, Groningen and Zwolle).' (1/3).
@jon@patrick From Gronau through traffic beyond Enschede? I doubt it. At Enschede, #DB trains arriving from Gronau end up on track 4b - carefully separated by buffers from track 4a which is used by #NS trains. Maybe this is for the sake of access barriers shielding the NS platforms, but on the other hand preventing efficiently through-going traffic from DE to NL.
Why o why is there hardly any fast connection between 🇳🇱 and 🇩🇪 by train? Between Venlo and Düsseldorf or Düsseldorf and Arnhem only regional trains stopping at every station making a quick travel much less attractive... #deutschebahn and #NS?
Left for work at the start of storm #storm#poly this morning. Head to get back home from the train station because #NS took all trains in my province offline. Mandatory WFH it is :(
We zullen met elkaar op alle vlakken moeten wennen aan het feit dat niet alles meer kan zoals we gewend zijn. Ook onze vakanties zullen trouwens meer gespreid moeten worden over het jaar. Ander onderwerp, maar toch.
Wie in de #spits reist, betaalt in de toekomst mogelijk 2,50 euro extra voor zijn treinrit. Met deze #spitsheffing, die alleen moet gelden op drukke trajecten, wil de #NS reizigers stimuleren om op andere momenten te reizen.
Trip back home from #Alfurnative is going well: power failure in western part of the train network and we have been stuck in a tunnel for 10 minutes now, just after departing the station. #travel#ov#train#trein#ns#prorail#disruption
Auf der Flucht vor dem NS-Regime wurden Juden nicht nur ihrer Heimat beraubt. Sie verloren oft auch ihre gesamte Habe. Diese wurde von den Nazis versteigert - unter anderem in Hamburg. Sie machten damit einen Millionengewinn.
Das Team der Provenienzforschung des Deutschen Schifffahrtsmuseums (DSM) in Bremerhaven hat die erste Datenbank an den Start gebracht, über die von den Nazis enteignetes Umzugsgut jüdischer Flüchtlinge gesucht werden kann.
#Symbole kennen heißt einordnen können: Das #roteDreieck.
Genutzt von der #Hamas und so genannten (deutschen ) "Israelkritikern" zum Markieren.. ( s u. 1. Bild .Quelle Ruhrbarone)
Kommt es euch in diesem Zusammenhang vor die Augen, wisst ihr, was es bedeutet.
Wenn ihr dann noch wisst, was das rote Dreieck in der #NS-Zeit bedeutete, habt ihr ein rundes Bild.
The #NovaScotia government, #Halifax ( #HRM ), and two private developers will build a rent-geared-to-income tiny home community in Lower #Sackville, with residents moving in the autumn of 2024.
Maybe @jon would know about that one: both #SNCB and #NS operate double-deckers on their networks so why did they order single-deckers for the #ICNG that is supposed to replace the #CrossBorderRail#ICBenelux that is almost always packed with passengers standing between carriages???
"Dear passengers, a signal failure had just occurred in front of our train around Haarlem. Sadly, this means our train cannot continue on its route to Amsterdam Central Station, and will shortly reverse to the previous station of Leiden Central."
Luckily I can still work on my laptop. And hey, the sun's shining, so life's not all that bad ☀️
Debatte um Areal mit ehemaliger Goebbels-Villa bei Berlin
Was soll aus dem verfallenen Areal mit einer alten Villa von NS-Propagandaminister Goebbels bei Berlin werden? Berlins Finanzsenator will das Gelände notfalls verschenken. Die Kommune fürchtet einen Einzug rechter Ideologen.
