1/n I’m on a long train trip again!

@anna O yes, those situations. I feel it.
@leonieke I gave him a tissue but he just dumped it in the bin and continued digging into his nostrils with his left thumb and eating the spoils

1/n I’m on a long train trip again! I’m almost out of data, and have a ton of work to do, but will try to share interesting updates if they arise.
Before the internet starts mansplaining trains again:
- yes, I’m aware of the existence of quiet cars,
- yes, I book my seats in advance, and in those quiet cars if available,
- yes, I know that I can book 1st class tickets and do so depending on availability and other factors.In fact, I’ve been on my train for only 30 minutes and am already regretting paying an extra 20 € for first class. One of the passengers here is exceptionally disgusting, he’s sitting opposite of me, and it’s busy enough that I cannot really move.
2/n cold wind at Utrecht central station, but I have oat milk coffee from AH to go, so all is good.

3/n Train manager: "In a few minutes we will arrive in Arnhem. Special announcement to all the pickpockets in my train: please get off my train here, without anything extra."

@anna safe travels! Hope the journey improves

@anna wave at De Inktpot. Those UFOs haven't randomly crashed into just any old building.

@wnd I normally do that whenever I walked out of the station! Despite having had a small collaboration with ProRail through work, I've never been inside that building.
This is clearly a grave injustice that must be rectified, so if anybody at ProRail is reading along: please reach out so we can explore collaborations!

@ravenlb Thanks!

4/n Of course the couple in front of me and the man behind me are yapping to each other and their phone. Consequently, I've now had Stuck In The Middle With You stuck in my head for the last 30 minutes or so.

@anna some people do make you wonder if humanity has evolved and share your struggle with people's behaviours on trains... had to listen to the ins and outs of football for two hours or so whilst enduring a long journey the other day. Hope your day gets better.

5/n The guy next to me just told the phone-calling guy behind me to respect the quiet zone. I think we have an early contender for the award of Ideal Fellow Traveller today!

@anna I have had the pleasure of a guided tour, eaten edam toasties in the canteen and admired the bat dropping under the bell-towers. The joys of European rail data regulation events.

6/n In a tragic turn of events, the guy next to me just lost his lead in the Ideal Fellow Traveller competition by making a phone call

️ 7/n My next connecting will be in about 2 hours. Just noticed that my connecting train is delayed by 15 minutes. I only have 12 minutes for the connection after that. Will I get Deutsche-Bahned? Place your bets now.
