The #CrossBorderRail has now taken me to 449 border lines, meaning I have only 77 to go (and including only 1 proper active line) So what should I do from here? 🤔 jonworth.eu/77-borders-to-…

77 borders to go, but then what?
I have just been totalling up the statistics from this autumn's #CrossBorderRail journeys, and the total number of border railway lines I have visited now stands at 449, and there are 77 more to go - this map shows the remaining ones: As well as the record breaking trip this

Don't do this. The theme here is heat. This thing is dark and heavy, it will store a lot of heat. The staircase is glazed which will overheat. The materials used here are causing climate change leding to more heat and extremes. The zip stores are only a bandaid.

The other ÖBB Railjet on display is the Stadler KISS, intended for the Vienna-Salzburg semi-fast trains. Here's the First Class, which isn't too bad. I do quite like the pair of private suites at the end of the carriage, I'm sure they'll be very popular! 👀

The Frecciarossa 1000 was once again on show at Innotrans, this time an ETR.410. As I visited it two years ago, I didn't go inside, but check out the close-ups on some of the stylish details this high-speed train features! 😍

My seat for the 7hr ride from Berlin is a modern torture device. The seat base slopes downwards, resulting in strain as you perch to support yourself. With loose fixtures, as well as broken and/or missing recline - it's the worst carriage I could have hoped for on this trip! 😭

Your Deutsche Bahn "joke" is no longer funny (if it ever was)
Before attempting my record attempt between Kemijärvi, Finland and Lagos, Portugal, people told me over and over it would break down in Germany. So much so that I even tried to re-but (pre-but?) some of the likely critique. Now, having made the trip, and none of the total

Germany wasted so much money on fossil fuels the last 5 years when they could have invested in cheap solar and batteries. Now Germany tells the rest of Europe that because Germany is so bad with its own finances and burnt it all on overpriced fossil fuels, now all of Europe needs to spend less.
