[jon@gruene.social]

From passengers swearing at me in French via tight connections, meeting rail firm CEOs, cab rides and an unfounded fear of bomb defusing problems tomorrow, it’s been quite a day for #LongestTrainEU #CrossBorderRail !

Here’s today’s summary

@jon But at least it has been a day on trains and not stuck in Haparanda!

[grlodi@mastodon.social]

@jon Nitpicky, but You might want to update the title/description of your videos and channel that still mention the Cross Border Rail spring and not the longest journey.

Thankfully there are loads of trains Malmö - København, so maybe in København it will still connect?

[titia@toot.community]

@brunogirin @jon yes, it seems like the theme from "Mission Impossible" belongs right up there on the playlist!

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

Don't underestimate DSB either! Let's hope they employ their special skill of departing late for no reason at all!

@jon

[jon@gruene.social]

@Pepijn BTW, is there any better tracker in Denmark than Rejseplanen?

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

@jon Don't think so. Rejseplanen is the only that hasn't given me false hope by at a critical moment not updating in time.

@sorenhave I think Rejseplannen "is it" for Denmark?

[margitbirken@mastodon.social]

@jon Hihi, ich lebe seit 12 Jahren in Schweden und pendel nach Kopenhagen - diese Seite kannte ich noch nicht. Danke für den Tipp!
Und heute morgen hätte ich dir gerne in Malmö mal Hallo gesagt, aber ich musste schon den 7:05 Zug nach Kopenhagen nehmen.
Gute Weiterreise

@jon @acb I am surprised that you don't have a mobile data plan with lots of EU roaming included. But maybe such are not available at a reasonable price in France?

(Personally I almost never bother looking for WiFi in trains when in the EU. And the Nordics and Baltics don't even count as being abroad for my operator, so unlimited data.)

[grlodi@mastodon.social]

@tml @jon @acb can’t answer for Jon ofc but FWIW French mobile plans are amongst Europe’s cheapest surprisingly enough. For reference, I pay about 15€ for 150GB domestic and 25GB abroad and this plan is just “ok” but not a a particularly good deal.
