When the sign in the train says you’re going to Warszawa Gdanska, but DB and Portal Pasazera still think the train will serve Centralna (final stop Wschodnia)
The MEP who - as Rapporteur for the Rail Passenger Rights Regulation in 2021 - bears more political responsibility for the mess we’re in with ticketing and rights than more than anyone
Now they’re trying to talk about #RailBaltica. It’s horrid. At least I know what I don’t know about Rail Baltica, which is better than this. #Eurotrans2024
Being at this #Eurotrans2024 conference is weird. It’s another one of these situations where I don’t know if I’m enlightened or if I’m stupid.
I can cut through the bullshit in these speeches like a knife through butter. But the people here have roles, responsibility, income massively higher than I do.
Ah. Megaprojects often don’t get the traffic they expected when they started building. We know that. “We need a better assessment control framework from the EU”. Laughing darkly here. What EU politician gives a 💩 about that? #Eurotrans2024
So I didn’t make a fool of myself at Eurotrans. And people understood my points - as I’ve got useful examples to make what I’m talking about real and relateable. Quick 10 mins on a bench in the sun and now back towards Berlin… #Eurotrans2024
#CrossBorderRail 2024 Extra Days – Warszawa Conference Train 5 of 8 EC 40 17:01 Warszawa Centralna - Frankfurt (Oder) 21:09 DB Fernverkehr AG, PKP Intercity
Train type: Siemens Taurus locomotive, 6 carriages ⚡️ 🚲: ⛔️ 🦽: ✅ 🛜: ✅ 🍽️: ✅ (and it’s good) 🧳: ☹️ (busier than this morning, and it’s inadequate) 🧽: 🙂
That this train - that can do vMax 160km/h with 8 stops averages 116km/h is quite something. Ok, the terrain is flat, but there’s not much slack in this timetable.
Ha. Passenger next to me here has “Zugbindung ist aufgehoben” on her DB Ticket. So she can take any train. Polish train manager doesn’t know what this means 🙂 We’re not sure if the Deepl translation “Wiązanie pociągu zostało anulowane” is right!
