@Pepijn @jon @interrailinfosvenska @sebwilken
Now I want some!

[jon@gruene.social]

I have had some luck, finally, on #LongestTrainEU
- there was a bomb yesterday in Hamburg, now cleared
- there was some accident at Norrköping in the night, but my train was through there before it happened
- I am on the 08:22 Kbh - Hamburg, and the one behind is cancelled (thanks @kristianaas for the info!)

@jon ”Plikten framför allt” (Duty above all) as the previous king’s motto said

[tml@mementomori.social]

@interrailinfosvenska @jon A slight twist of the current king's motto: "Innan Sverige i tid" "Before Sweden I was on time"

[jon@gruene.social]

@Pepijn YES!

And my thread is up to date, just before Kolding

[ignaloidas@not.acu.lt]

@jon@gruene.social re: step free - IIRC there is (only!) one carriage that has a gap filler for people with disabilities to get on

[konosocio@mastodon.online]

@jon it used to be Kolding -Middelfart - Odense, does anybody know why it isn't Middelfart anymore?

[sebwilken@mastodon.social]

@interrailinfosvenska @jon Yes. The 1st class sleeper is the only one that makes sense on that train as a 2nd class compartment would cost 3x as much, at least with Interrail. I don't understand the pricing at all, doesn't seem to make sense. Also the train basically only consists of 1st class sleepers (at one point I thought class doesn't play a role because of the weird pricing and consist of that train and I used the 1st class sleeper on a 2nd class Interrail - no one cared).

[henriklievonen@mastodon.hli.fi]

@jon Thanks for the review! I guess I really need to find some lunch in Hamburg before taking ECE 394 towards Copenhagen, which I expect to use the same unit.

[speculationfictive@union.place]

@jon just as well yiu didn't need the 10.22...

[jon@gruene.social]

Aaand we’re stuck #LongestTrainEU

[quixoticgeek@social.v.st]

@jon does that set of stairs change the accessibility score for the train ?

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@jon aaand off it goes, into lands unknown*.

*Hamburg Hbf, platform 14

[znexhf_svax@social.cologne]

@jon on track for longest train journey in the EU – just not the in way planed

[smveerman@zug.network]

@Pepijn @jon and here I was thinking that DSB wanted to run these in sandwich mode/boterhambedrijf
