#CrossBorderRail #LongestTrainEU Record Attempt Train 4 of 18R 741515:40 Umeå Östra - Sundsvall C 18:39Norrtåg

And I am on a Siemens built ICE4 (enough of the rattling and broken toilet Talgo shit, and the shaky Alstom shit) and it is perfect. Quiet, smooth, comfortable. This is how this trip *should* be! #LongestTrainEU

@jon @RensBloom Teleportation apparently

@jon

Meanwhile in Munich: car number lottery on the ICE by changing the numbers every minute.
Thank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn.

@jon I hate the thing since I repeatedly got ice cold air blown into my face, when commuting on them in winter.

(Every trainset when entering a tunnel or other changes of air pressure or sth like that).

Admittedly, didn't get the chance to try the Talgos yet.

Thanks @pink for joining me on board ICE 771 between Göttingen and Kassel! So many conversations with different people en route today, it's great!

[onterof@sueden.social]

@jon Wtf, so the international Frankfurt - Marseille TGV is the last direct Strasburg - Lyon ?!? 🤯‍️

[jon@gruene.social]

@jubeldoktor Ha. In a Talgo you'd be fearing the doors blow off!

[philippbirken@fediscience.org]

@jon only +7 on the connection to Hamburg? That's just cheating!

@jon @RensBloom Without the temporal restrictions, the route is amusing. Mannheim - Geneve - Liyon (which is now closer to Portugal than Orleans) - Vierzon - Les Aubrais Orleans

@jon
Can’t join but I’m looking at you …
Schedule seems fine!

And #LongestTrainEU is in Politiken today https://politiken.dk/rejser/togrejser/art10967699/Vanvittigt-projekt-eller-vigtig-dokumentation-af-EU’s-jernbanenet Just a few hours after running around Kbh H with their photographer

@jon
Sure, but how could you dare do this journey an not go through Paris .

[jon@gruene.social]

So a *very weird* #LongestTrainEU question: is there anyone in Badajoz who could, theoretically, lend me a bike on Saturday morning?

Because of all the disruption I have no reservations for Portugal, and would like to cycle to Elvas and get these before returning to Badajoz to take the train.

It's 80-20% chance I will be in Badajoz on time to do this.

Is there anyone on Fedi who might be able to help?
