If you are in a quiet zone of a train, please do not talk. For some people these zones are essential to survive the journey. In name of all of those thank you :blobhaj_heart:

Ah

We’ve got another example of that legendary cooperation between state railways today in Köln

Where the Eurostar* stops at the platform is NOT shown on the screens (while for RE and ICE trains it is shown)

So Eurostar employs a person on the platform to tell passengers where to stand 🤦‍♂️

    • Eurostar is 55% SNCF, 18% SNCB

@jon not in Belgium either... Antwerpen-Centraal always has eurostar staff on the station to tell that. In past EMMA could announce 1st class for them now no more

@jon @smveerman passenger info is an SNCB responsibility not Infrabel... This system is based internally on a combination of Atlantis (asset tracking) and DiTA/ITRIS (Conductor data systems) which are all SNCB systems

@jon "excuseer reist u met Eurostar?" Staff hired just to ask every person waiting that...efficiency!

@jon "ah nummer 13? Dat is bij de tweede klok"

@maartje@blahaj.social avatar

@jon if only some train company solved this around 2010... Like you know... Thalys?

Today isn’t a investigation day, but I’m happy to use a new emoji

In my assessments of more than 600 trains it’s always been ⚡️ or ⛽️ and even once 🔥

Today - finally! - it’s 🔋

I’m taking one of the battery electric EMUs Stadler built for Schleswig Holstein between Büchen and Lübeck

Elektrisch ohne Oberleitung - electric without overhead wire on the sticker on the train

I was able to enter Interrail in Trainline... It doesn't work (yet?)... But could this mean competition for RailEurope selling Interrail reservations?
