@jon so, are you on schedule?

[jon@gruene.social]

@ccferrie 24 hours late, but on that revised schedule, yes

[mjack@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@jon

Are the train drivers familiar with your endeavor?

[jon@gruene.social]

@mjack This was organised with the company HQ

[mjack@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@jon

Ah, that probably helps

[jon@gruene.social]

Also #LongestTrainEU is 10x more stress than my regular #CrossBorderRail work, not least as I have a cameraman following me, *and* because the planning is so hellish (today at least)

I *hope* I will have a quiet next few trains

@jon sorry to hear, dear Jon! Just know that many, many people are following your journey - I saw a considerable amount of people „outside the hardcore train nerd bubble“ taking interest in your ongoing record attempt that are maybe learning about you for their first time and I’m sure media will start reporting about it likewise well outside the „usual bubble“. And out of this only good things can come, I would hope! Best of strength and safe journey down South!

@jon Fährst du noch heute Nacht nach Hamburg? Ich hoffe, die Sperrungen haben sich bis dahin erledigt. Gute Reise ohne all zu viele Schikanen. https://hamburg.t-online.de/region/hamburg/id_101428368/bombe-in-hamburg-gefunden-massive-zugausfaelle-und-evakuierungen.html

[jon@gruene.social]

@Helga Malmö nur. Ich hoffe dass alles bis morgen Mittag da gelöst ist!

[knud@mastodon.social]

@jon

Where can I find the updated schedule? The ones on the websites are still the originals.

[jon@gruene.social]

@knud scroll right to the bottom. Then get the Excel sheet from Nextcloud. I’ll update the web table once I’m done with a meeting here

[cycling_on_rails@mastodon.social]

@jon What's the most likely scenario: border police rejects your driving license in illegal border checks upon entering Germany or CP rejects your cameraman for unsolicited filming upon entering Portugal?

[eorlingur@mastodon.nu]

@jon Welcome to Stockholm!

[jon@gruene.social]

@knud scrap that. I might have to route around the WWII bomb tomorrow in Hamburg

[jon@gruene.social]

@Eorlingur shortly. Approaching Arlanda now.

[jon@gruene.social]

Thanks @Jonas_Bostrom for coming to greet the weary #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail travellers on board between Gävle and Uppsala!
