Train 2, InterCity3: 1435 mm standard gauge, 15 kV AC 16.7 Hz, 10 coaches (plus a locomotive at each end) Hinterbäch, #Schwyz #Schweiz #SBB #Kurventoot #TrainTravel
Train 5, TGV: 1435 mm standard gauge, 1500 V DC (but switching soon to AC, while it was the other way around with train 4), EMU containing 8 coaches plus an engine car on each side. #Lyon Part-Dieu, #RhôneAlpes #France #SNCF #TGV #HighSpeed #train
High speed rail is a great thing! If only they wouldn't waste the time gained to silly things instead (like the anti-correlated schedule, embarquement or the seat-reservation-slavery). LGV sud, #AuvergneRhôneAlpes #France #SNCF #BulletTrain #TGV #bridge
We made the beginner's mistake to check for bus timetables...but this here appears to be the only bus lane within a 2 min drive (37 min with traffic). #Sète, #Occitanie #france #Bus #Autokorrektur
Train 6, TGV: 1435 mm standard gauge, 1.5 kV DC, 2 EMU with 8 coaches plus an engine car on both ends each (until Perpignan, where one unit will be left back and then have higher voltage). #Sète, #Hérault #France #TGV #CrossBorderRail
Italian stereotypes anyone? The footrest is, even when folded up, in the middle of the legroom for tall people. It scratches on the shin. #Frecciarossa #iryo
Arrived on time, would have had plenty of time to make our connection of 15 min. But No. This was not bookable, only the one with 75 min layover. And thanks to the mandatory reservations, you can't just hop on the earlier train. Spain, wanna work on this or invest another billion on a new high speed line? Both saves one hour. Choose wisely. #Madrid Puerta de Atocha, #Castilla #España #TrainTravel #connection #Reservation
@jon The train to Toledo was only filled to like 50%, but don't tell anyone or they will cut it down to two trains a day so they can brag about a 0.99 seat load factor...
For more than 30 degreeasons we took the bus for two stops. Tickets available at the driver. But no card payment (in a country where you casually pay by card at the bakery) and no big bills (like 50€) either. So we had no way to pay. Someone beeped his pass for us. Thank you so much, stranger! We will pass it on. #Toledo, #Castilla #España #bus #payment #ticketing
Train 17, Metro 1: 1445 mm broad gauge, 600 V DC. Actually quite comfortable when there is no tinnitus-like sound to let the passengers know the door will be closing. Sol, #Madrid #Spain #Metro
How to do it anti-effective: 1. Annonce the train track only 4 min before departure 2. Have only one stairs (plus elevator) to access the platform. 3. Place the train away from that access. 4. Close off half of the (already narrow) platform. 5. Check tickets on the platform. 6. Have passengers finally get on. 7. Leave with a 10 min delay #Madrid Chamartín, #Castilla #España #TrainTravel #renfe
Train 19, renfe: Switching from 1435 mm standard gauge to 1668 mm broad gauge, and from 25 kV AC 50 Hz to 3 kV DC. Burgos, #CastillaYLeón #Spain #TrainTravel #renfe
Small change of plans...after changing valley sides. Train 21, Metro 2: 1000 mm narrow gauge, 1.5 kV DC. Urbinaga, #Bilbao #Bizkaia #Spain #TrainTrackTuesday
In Durango and Eibar the train started filling up. A lot of people carried beach Equipment...and got off in Deba, #Gipuzkoa, #España #TrainTravel #MeerMittwoch
After a 2:40 h long ride with 35 stops of usually not even a minute - arrived on time. No seat reservations needed. Trains run every hour at the same minute. Hey #renfe, if you wanna learn how to run a railway in Spain, look at #Euskotren, for example. #Donostia/ #SanSebastian, #Gipuzkoa #España
