Like really, what the hell were they smoking at LeoExpress?

A proposal for Bratislava - Ostend, in the daytime

Like this is even more off the scale than Andi Scheuer's TEE 2.0 plans

There is not a hope in hell that would work operationally, or even in business terms. Because it'd rack up such a delay so as to be unuseable

@jon I guess they expect most passengers to go to/from Brussels, and then looked for some other place to do the overnight storage and service of the train? Ostend is a bit far away for just that, though, isn’t it? Or is it an intentionally fake idea and they throw in Ostend just for nostalgic lols?

@tml Doing the train service there makes sense, sort of. But a 16 hour slow daytime service through SK, CZ, PL, DE, BE? That's a recipe for unreliable. I don't think they intend to run this, but instead are testing the grounds with regulators.

@jon Not through Vienna, wouldn’t that be natural? Or wait, I guess Vienna and Bratislava aren’t actually as close as I always think they are… not like, say, Copenhagen and Malmö?

@tml Path says it will route via Bohumin. Sure, via Vienna would be more logical, but 🤷‍♂️ This whole thing doesn't make any sense to me.

@jon @tml i think you confused it with another, this request expects route from bratislava to prague, dresden, leipzig, hannover...

(weird thing about it is skipping brno, but again, it's not realistic anyway)
