Finally, some 2h50 late, the inaugural European Sleeper from Brussels to Milan is on its way! I have a Comfort Standard Single, that is, a couchette compartment sold as a single with proper mattress and duvet added. https://t.co/s1QlNQjfqG

Oh dear. 19:06 sleeper to Milan shown on boards as 19:06 +1h30. Have switched to Plan B. But can’t see a true online real-time departure board here so will have to go and wait on the platform to avoid it sneaking off less than 1h30 late. https://t.co/q5jLtv2BnX

I guess it’s time for an adventure - Interrail pass activated! It covered my train from Tring into London and it’ll cover my Eurostar to Brussels with a €35 passholder fare (€40 in 1st class). It’ll then cover my European Sleeper Brussels to Milan with a berth reservation fee. ht

@seatsixtyone Rail has attracted travellers who might previously have chosen to fly or drive. Can you imagine driving 5hrs from Madrid to Cordoba fortnightly to visit aged relatives? It’s simply <2hrs on the Ave 🚄 https://t.co/pr1yDJINHJ

Footnote: This is of course a solution for major inter-city flows, especially high-speed lines with plenty of capacity - though it also seems to work on classic routes such as Prague-Vienna. Not a solution for regional or commuter routes. 6.4K views · 38 likes · 2 reposts · 2 replies Open on X →

"Spain’s high-speed rail sees passenger numbers double as fares fall by 40%... Liberalisation has not simply redistributed passengers between competing railway companies. Rail has attracted travellers who might previously have chosen to fly." https://t.co/AUysUdcHdi https://t.co/

Belgrade-Bar FINALLY becomes bookable online. Suddenly demand has leapt and the summer-only daytime train is being extended until the end of September. Could these events be connected..? 🙄 18.4K views · 197 likes · 11 reposts · 8 replies Open on X →
