18% of Europeans avoid connecting trains for fear of being stranded. EU's #PassengerPackage (RMB, RTR, & #SingleTicket ) aims to fix this with a €7.7B plan. Watch to see how MEP Kai Tegethoff and new liability rules reshape #Rail! @jonworth.eu @cer-railways.bsky.social @etf-europe.bsky.social

Great piece on the differences between Bluesky and the rest: 1. They recognise one doesn't change their opinion on socme 2. Echo chambers are bound to form 3. But they prefer to be a vehicle rather than the cul de sac of info (i.e. links) @pweiss.bsky.social

The EU Parliament has elected Von der Leyen's new Commission, set to take office on Dec 1. 370 MEPs voted in favor - 31 fewer than for VdL's own confirmation in June. Given defections from the ranks of her informal coalition (EPP, S&D, Renew), votes from ECR (33) and Greens (27) proved decisive.

It's no longer viable to divide parties into a left right ideological spectrum. But what is clear is the forthcoming difficulty in reaching consensus on many issues.
