I have one full day in Paris. Any transit related tips? I’ll be visiting Cable 1 and the recent Orly metro extension but no other plans yet.

This 2024 station on line 11 could just as well have been built in the early 1900s and have been well renovated. The Paris metro design is an all-time classic

Rubber-tyred metros are so loud!

Hitting that 300km/h in Brussels. Wil probably do it a few more times this trip, next time on the way to Lausanne and then between Istanbul and Ankara

Is Brussels south the station with the most languages for announcements? French, Dutch, English and German. Sidenote: they could do with a lot fewer announcements, it’s been a constant stream since arrival here.

ICE 3 neo towards Frankfurt and Brussels south

ICNG-B towards Amsterdam at Brussels south

Shutters being closed at Brussels South for the imminent departure of the Eurostar to London.

They should build some kind of crazy loop line in Paris, it would make my journey much easier. Maybe they can call it the “Big Paris Express”

Excuse me? Apeldoorn - Zwolle - Amersfoort? I think not!

Oh hey there GoVolta. Not this time, I’ll be taking the faster and more comfortable ICE, thanks interrail!

Currently riding the last of the 3 rural Berlin forest village tramways. A relic of the past preserved by having been in the eastern part of Berlin/Germany.

It was really great meeting everyone today. InnoTrans was a lot of fun!

NOX will start operating night trains between Hamburg and München from the 23rd of March 2027

1101

We’re at the NOX booth. A lot of people interested in the unveil!

050

The platform at Westkreuz is full and the next train is completely red on the pid. Let’s see if there’s room at all

For those meeting up at InnoTrans today, I’ve got notice from a few that will be delayed and my S3/S9 service is also disrupted, but we’re still meeting at the south entrance.

Sorry DB but tracks 15 and 2 at Amsterdam Centraal are not the same platform

If rail seats received even 10% of the funding and design focus that aircraft seating did, trains would be so much nicer. Positive steps here from @recaro-as.bsky.social

We’re forced off our trainset and have to board another ICE on the opposite platform to continue our way onwards to Berlin. The planner is still showing it as 1 train. Why would they need to do this operationally?
