Bicycle and/or trains. Any topic, except the cycling challenges in Prague (flooded on corporate socials) Therefore expect more rail and other cuteness content here.

The cycling season has just begun.
This is why seasonal bike allowances should start already in March till November instead of the May to September.

Cycling to work is work related.

Same for high speed in Czechia and Portugal

But on telecom... Perfect trap. 8 euros per MB from Vodafone CZ, yet there is the swiss Vodafone Swisscom. Before free roaming, the fares were the same as EU

Careful with the swiss roaming. Proudly alone?

I know! I remember in the past Rhein route (with panorama wagen). Quite a currency conversion to add!

Has glass windows on the top? The interior is quite cute indeed

ICE1 has definitely the cutest dining car in Europe (regular service). And with giga HD windows

Thank you! Whatever happens, I'll be railing (and riding) around! Not so much for the ICE-T. The usual Frankfurt - Dresden is currently served with the classic ICE-1

Possibly my very last business trip to/from Luxembourg. Also of the ICE-T.
It was beautiful!

Well, they could advertise as dreilΓ€nder train.

Find Eppstein.
Tip: it's near Ludwigshafen

It's called a workaround.
Considering the amount of medical emergencies I have experienced recently, even a slower route would help minimise the lengthy delay

I mean, it makes you make a huge detour to Kassel. Long ago there were works Hanau-Fulda and the route was the route 3825 (a bit scenic actually). The ICE never used the high speed line 1733.
This could save at least 30 minutes travel time

I guess it looks much easier. The height difference is not that high!
The main line is already slow. So the delay would be like what? 10 minutes max?
Sounds like a fast and cheap solution

Line 3810 electric would be much easier, no?

So, medical emergency between Bad Ersfeld and Fulda caused a huge detour via Kassel 🟑 making the direct route πŸ”΄ impossible and delay trains more than 60min.
Maybe electrifying+flyover B Hersfeld-Niederhaula to HSL ⚫🟀or even a flyover in Morschen to HSL 🟠 would help to minimise future interruptions?

That was the expectation. Let's wait when the HSL Lisbon - Porto will be completed. The rail alpha (pendular)

Portugal won't invest that much in places where there's too many mountains.
Just get yourself happy about having the new line Γ‰vora to Badajoz. Then maybe some more 30km somewhere else

My trips were December 2014 and September 2016. Don't recall much of 2016 tho, have to see the pics

10 years ago the trainset was 2 Greek carriages crossing the border, the rest were heading to/coming from Alexandropouli. From Kulata local Bulgarian carriages were added/removed.
Seems not hard to restore like this
