Sinas lore

[next thorn]

I agree with this sentiment, 30k Sinas when?

[tranquil smelt]

Who is we pilot

Who is we

[rain nimbus]

30k is pretty hard to achieve

You need to do like Scandinavian mainlines for a few weeks to do this

[tranquil smelt]

Idk

I dont think so

[next thorn]

Well, at least me and Max

That's a 'we' at this point 😂

[rain nimbus]

Are you on stoptreinen already?

[tranquil smelt]

No my man, i am on a very slow ic

[next thorn]

[tranquil smelt]

Nighttrain*

[keen arrow]

I got 10k when I did Scandinavia and I had both Bodø and Narvik return trains

[frosty ember]

Us

[tranquil smelt]

I dont need your km's

[keen arrow]

Just shy of 10km

[frosty ember]

I do

If I did 30k without speedrunning you should be able to get more than that

[tranquil smelt]

I think ill get that 30k with ease

[next thorn]

Bad, I wanna see the scenery

[frosty ember]

Based

[rain nimbus]

How much time do you have left sinas

Slovenia won't be very good for kilometres

[tranquil smelt]

[frosty ember]

🤨

[tranquil smelt]

Ive not exactly done intensive trains in the past week

The new line theyre building between teius and brasov

I will do bucuresti - weert in like 30 hours

Which is the equivalent of 1,8k km's

[keen arrow]

[tranquil smelt]

[keen arrow]

Je moeder

[tranquil smelt]

Nederlander in hostel voor het naar bed gaan spreken

Zeer grappig

This is a really good hostel

I recommend zozo brasov

[frosty ember]

Relatief duur en vrij populair dus zal wel luxe zijn

[tranquil smelt]

Max probleem

[alpine delta]

20 euro is geen geld

[tranquil smelt]

Nee zeker niet

Maar max is een beetje pauper

[frosty ember]

Dit klopt

Maar nadruk op relatief jongens

20 euro is een goede prijs

Ik bedoel dat de rest daar nog minder kost, dat is episch

Het staat in ieder geval hoog aangeschreven

[tranquil smelt]

Het regent

Jammer

Ik had nog meer van brasov willen zien

Very nice people here

[frail flower]

For the uk

[tranquil smelt]

[rain nimbus]

Why are you like this

[tranquil smelt]

I am crazy

[rain nimbus]

It's only worth it when they're like very rare people

Or if they're like almost dying

Or if there's a nonzero chance of getting laid

If not one of the above I wouldn't go

[tranquil smelt]

Rico, you will never get this

[tranquil smelt]

Creme de la creme speedrun

[tranquil smelt]

Het is alles of niks

[rain nimbus]

Maar je weet toch nu al dat dit mis gaat lopen

[tranquil smelt]

Maar de treinen rijden elkaar niet in de weg

Dus als 1 trein naar de klote is, rijdt de volgende wel gewoon op tijd

Want het duurt toch 4 uur tot de volgende

Gaat ook maar 30 kmph meestal

[rain nimbus]

[tranquil smelt]

It be closed

[tranquil smelt]

Fake news

If you have to bring your own beer, theyre not even remotely your friends

[sturdy grove]

We'll do that but everyone will just bring a lot of beer and we'll all share

Depends on the occasion

[tranquil smelt]

Nah the real mf brings everything in house

I actually don’t think there are stoptreinen

[rain nimbus]

They should have R treinen

Maybe not now

[jade echo]

I only see IC

[rain nimbus]

Yes I think they're messing around

My Denmark spoorkaart does show stoptreinen

[jade echo]

I think the ICs are fake though

they stop everywhere

theres flensburg and soenderborg and esjberg ICs but they all stop everywhere and come from fredericia

hamburg IC also only to fredericia

and to Altona

[tranquil smelt]

This is not sinaslore

[rain nimbus]

I think this is Google maps being wrong Teun

They vleugel in Fredericia I think

Wait idk

will thye actually get you taxi weert or venlo?

[keen arrow]

Sinas gestrand

[frail flower]

lmao if they only drop you venlo and there is no more trains towards weert

[jade echo]

never plan last eurobahn

not even I did this

and I still missed it because db

[frail flower]

he did this on purpose just to flex a free hotel or taxi

[tranquil smelt]

Hotelletje van de bahn

[tranquil smelt]

Yeah cuz then i could say i did romania to netherlands within 24 hours

[jade echo]

nice

[tranquil smelt]

Also taxi is 140 euro dusseldorf weert

And db price cap is 120

[jade echo]

nice

[rain nimbus]

sinas lore

where is your hotel

[frail flower]

hmm crow map misses 2 international connecitons

european sleeper to Brussels and berlin. ticket/operating wise it's not much different to the nightjet.

[tranquil smelt]

In the station

[rain nimbus]

nice

[tranquil smelt]

Time to fill in the paperwork

[frail flower]

paper works?

[tranquil smelt]

@sturdy grove opinion on free hotels by db

[frail flower]

do you need to voorschieten hotel or what is this form for?

[tranquil smelt]

Voorschieten

[frail flower]

this is bad...

[tranquil smelt]

Annoying and bad yeah

Same goes for taxi

[frail flower]

how can you be sure they won't refuse the letter

[tranquil smelt]

Thats what im worried abour

[frail flower]

with interrail stuff liek this gets really vague.

be cause theoreticly you can just plan it to have a fucked conenctions at the end of everyday and get free stays

[rain nimbus]

If I were db staff I would personally laugh in your face

[frail flower]

also overstap ICE->eurobahn is a bit vague...

[rain nimbus]

I dont think its possibel to buy one ticket bucharest-weert from a vendor somewhere

[tranquil smelt]

Thank you for these supporting words

[rain nimbus]

you always have to split tickets

meaning you basically dont have rights

[frail flower]

idk travle agencies liek treinreiswinkel may be able too

[tranquil smelt]

I have a trick up my sleeve tho

[rain nimbus]

they will just get you different tickets for different legs

[frail flower]

but probably thye split tickets too for cheaper fares

[tranquil smelt]

Just dont say i did bucuresti

Say instead

Nuremberg

[rain nimbus]

hmm

this makes you sound less insane

[frail flower]

hmm paper interrial is also good to sjoemel with delay compensations.

jsut ad a bunch of fake trains on ther which you didn't take. and delay compensate the fuck out of DB and have free interrail

especially if like sinas you will be acros smultiple sheets of travel

[tranquil smelt]

Im soon on my 3rd sheet

[rain nimbus]

sheet collector

[frosty ember]

Jordi fraudster

[sturdy grove]

Free hotel sounds better then one you have to pay for, but all around it sounds worse then just getting home on time

[tranquil smelt]

@frail flower interrail is the perfect way to fraud

Think about it

Random train pulls in +60 at dusseldorf

"You missed the last train to nl"

And all you have is written proof

[frosty ember]

He has thought about this too many times my man 😂

[tranquil smelt]

There is a wasp in this train

Bro is getting teleported

Between herzogenrath and heerlen no stop in between

This is faster than going via venlo

[next thorn]

You should take the unsneltrein

[tranquil smelt]

If it says sneltrein in the netherlands, it tends to be not very snel

[next thorn]

Fair

[tranquil smelt]

More snail like

[next thorn]

Aren't your domestic "high speed" only 200km/h too?

Which in a country your size is enough tbf

[tranquil smelt]

Sort of

[frosty ember]

Isn't your high speed also not more than 200 in most places except hst?

[tranquil smelt]

Theyre still in the proces of untroducing them

Decommisioning the 160 ones

[frosty ember]

certainly more than us tho

[next thorn]

225km/h commuter trains on HS1, but other than that, is 201km/h

[frosty ember]

Still pretty good

[next thorn]

Because mph superior for that extra 1 km/h

[frosty ember]

Not France or Germany levels but I quite enjoyed your high speed trains

[tranquil smelt]

Your hs 1 is out hsl zuid

They are pretty much the same concept

[next thorn]

We had a few incidents in 2021 with IETs and drivers pushing them to 220/225kmh, so they got electronically limited to 200kmh, which was fun.

[next thorn]

Yeah, get you to France/Belgium quickly

[tranquil smelt]

Nah

Still takes forever with the non highspeed

[next thorn]

Wish I could get to France with a non-High Speed train 😂

Not because I want to go to France

But because I want cheaper fares to Europe without flying

[frosty ember]

Eurostar big bucks

[carmine current]

Tbf, the "non-High Speed" is the car shuttle

Are you gonna take a 13900

[next thorn]

Can we Flixtrein instead?

[tranquil smelt]

It feels so good not stopping at eygelshoven markt and landgraaf

[tranquil smelt]

Whats dis

[next thorn]

Why did I Dutch 'trein' Flixtrain? Bad me...

[rain nimbus]

The answer is yes btw

NL is getting flixtrain soon

This will fuck up capacity on the network

[tranquil smelt]

No we need to wait for acm

[rain nimbus]

Why would they say no

[next thorn]

Surprised Flixtrain haven't attempted something in the UK yet tbf.

[rain nimbus]

I actually think this is good but it will still cause delays

[tranquil smelt]

Conflict met ns concessie binnenlands for example

[next thorn]

Maybe once HS2 is up and running.

[tranquil smelt]

Theyre still figuring it all out

[next thorn]

UK network is a fun mess tbf

[rain nimbus]

Well UK has lumo right

That's budget train

[next thorn]

Yeah, it's pretty similar, but brand new trains instead.

And they only do London Kings Cross to Edinburgh

[carmine current]

Sinas sneltrein

[rain nimbus]

I'm more hyped about more competition between Amsterdam and Paris

[frosty ember]

that'd be nice

[rain nimbus]

Thalys is a malafide company

[next thorn]

Lumo trains are also too short...

[frosty ember]

even though Paris transfer is shit

[next thorn]

Sorry, not Lumo...
Lum°

[rain nimbus]

Well from what I've heard flixtrain in Germany kinda sucks too

[tranquil smelt]

I am ic ehv

[rain nimbus]

13900

[next thorn]

Is that not the idea of low-cost trains tho?

Suck, but be super cheap

[carmine current]

Flixtrain kinda sucks in Germany and Sweden

[next thorn]

Lumo also suck

[rain nimbus]

13900 is the Heerlen trains that terminate in Eindhoven Friday to Sunday

When they continue its 3900

[frosty ember]

Flixtrain stock looked kinda old in Sweden

think it was old German stock

[tranquil smelt]

Thank you rico, you saved my ritnummer

[next thorn]

I wouldn't mind setting up a Flixtrain style operator in the UK... but there's just no spare stock available for it except a few 153s 😂

[rain nimbus]

Yes this is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT

How easy is this to do in the UK

Some countries are very difficult

[tranquil smelt]

Like netherlands

[next thorn]

Open Access is possible, but you have to prove it isn't "primarily abstractive"

I.e., you have to generate more money than you take from other train operators

On certain routes, this is simple, as you offer direct trains where there isn't any already.

[rain nimbus]

I mean I think there's less of a business case in nl too

[tranquil smelt]

My god, you can outperform xc

[rain nimbus]

What are some domestic routes that you can run rendabel with lower prices than ns

[tranquil smelt]

Why hasnt anybody tried to compete on xc lines yet
