[swift wolf]

vertrekstaat towels exist

[outer cave]

I mean when this is worked into stuff

Just yellow

[storm bison]

4februari it will get replaced again

I wonder why Ns still uses plastic vertrek staten and not paper posters like anybody else

[tulip kernel]

if it were up to ns they wouldnt put these up anymore

lunetten was not updated yet

[storm bison]

they wanted to reduce to only entrance/station hall.

kind makes sense literally 0 people use them on platform

[tulip kernel]

I dont think people use these at all

[swift wolf]

they did switch to paper

[edgy dagger]

not in all places

[swift wolf]

do you know where its still plastic?

[spare herald]

zwolle

[storm bison]

still looks pretty plasticy

[swift wolf]

what about now

you cannot bend the plastic vertrekstaat that I have like this

[edgy dagger]

I'm not flying any more this year

[serene glen]

het is ook wel prima geweest niet

[storm bison]

still looks like plasticy film and not krantenpapier like

[serene glen]

I don’t think I have gone above 2 ever

and most years are 0

actually sicilly had overstap

[edgy dagger]

Haven't flown a single route twice which is cool

all my round trips are just fucked up

oh wait it just shows it weird

cyprus was twice

the rest is fucked up

[serene glen]

[swift wolf]

[storm bison]

canada breaks your map a bit though

you need to cover atlantic more lines

[edgy dagger]

[edgy dagger]

faroer is the only place in europe without cheap flights

[storm bison]

faroer has cheapish ferry though

soph huur auto isle of man?

isle of man would be a soph place i think

[edgy dagger]

I should do one week on a random island again

[storm bison]

Poor Basel

lausanne time?

[edgy dagger]

Still 2h to go

but at least I'm out of germany

[dull nacelle]

have fun

[spare herald]

good

[edgy dagger]

lol ended up on an ice again

SBB is doing fuckery

The ICE371 normally leaves Basel towards Bern at 17:56 but it was late from Germany

so they ran a normal train as the 17:56

and the ice became the 18:28 instead

so my train is both on time and half an hour late rn

[spare herald]

gedoe

[edgy dagger]

no this is good

now both trains are on time

[serene glen]

this is good

they should do this more

they probably do

[tulip kernel]

Nice

[wicked dagger]

@grand belfry

[stuck token]

[stuck token]

Ah, the Walzenhausen train. I once did that one, together with the Postauto line 225 or 226 to St. Margrethen

will you fly back home after this visit?

[edgy dagger]

I took the 224 to Heiden and then the S25 down

Nope, taking a train home on 5 jan

[stuck token]

[edgy dagger]

https://migros.ch/en/product/121513500000

Since the quick route will be closed anyways

[swift wolf]

14.5 hours damn

Respect 🫡

[tulip kernel]

Have fun

[storm bison]

this should be fine. they are lazy amd quiet ter trains.

DB will also give you 14hr + stress because delays

[swift wolf]

Fair

But it's a few hours longer than my longest train day ever so im still impressed

[storm bison]

my longest now is... uhhh 36hr...

and counting

but with pretty ruime overstappen and fairly quick/short legs its very relaxing.

and time flies much faster

lux-brussel being the longest lol

[edgy dagger]

The classic

[rose peak]

Nice

[storm bison]

lore.

is this the plan to nl?

[edgy dagger]

no

This line is very good

I didn't realise the old BLS trains are hangable

[storm bison]

nice. @verbal haven !!!

are the lowflor nee middle sections also hangable?

BLS is cool

[edgy dagger]

no

Those have AC

These trains are becoming pretty rare

[serene glen]

I like that you’re going mountain today

[edgy dagger]

why

nice platform

[storm bison]

soph underway on a 100% swiss mission again

[edgy dagger]

This is a long ass train

[storm bison]

and hangable.

what are those old type cars inbetween

[serene glen]

this is just average BOB composition

does this vleugel I forgot

[edgy dagger]

It does

[serene glen]

good

[edgy dagger]

Just needs a loco inbetween and two random freight cars at the end

[serene glen]

vleugelstoptreinen

[edgy dagger]

Germany has sbahns that do this

[serene glen]

Cool

But scary yes

[serene glen]

[edgy dagger]

Mostly scared that something will fall out of my pocket

[tribal crag]

You should do tactical shit like a seagull

[serene glen]

better pockets

[tribal crag]

Are there people down there

[storm bison]

soph foot

didnt those shoe break on the 1€ ter trip day?

[edgy dagger]

[outer cave]

This is nice

High-key jealous

[edgy dagger]

go here on your bday

and pray for good weather

[rose peak]

I should

[serene glen]

are you going kleine scheidegg

[edgy dagger]

no just Wengen

kleine scheidegg is big money

[stuck token]

barely worth it

kleine scheidegg

but not as big money as the Joch

flipping eck, jungfraujoch, it's plain legalized robbery

[edgy dagger]

106fr

it's ok but like

it's not worth it

[verbal haven]

sophie beroofd

[edgy dagger]

The bookshop in Wengen is selling 2 franc manga

Wengeralpbahn is 10/10

This entire valley is full of window hangable trains

[serene glen]

oh you cant go up all the way on interrail

oh wait different company

i foget this

its cool how going to the jungfrau from the outside world always requires at least three changes

[verbal haven]

WAB gives you 25% discount on tickets

with interrail

[edgy dagger]

yeah

but to Wengen it's just included

25% off 75 fr is still a lot

lol it's 4tph down

30-0-30-0

[tribal crag]

how many tph up

[edgy dagger]

idk probably also 4

[tribal crag]

Good

[serene glen]

explain what 30-0-30-0 means

[edgy dagger]

Interval

It's insanely busy

[tribal crag]

do they just run 2 trogether

[edgy dagger]

no they're seperate trains

[serene glen]

why are they seperate

[edgy dagger]

Platforms lengths

[tribal crag]

Ah

[serene glen]

odd

I guess passing loops are bigger then platforms?

and they just take it slow

[tribal crag]

serve both platforms

pull out and couple together

yolo down the line

decouple and go into both paltforms

ez

[stuck token]

have you been to grütschalp / mürren too? i might have missed it and too lazy to scroll all the way up

it's included in interrail as well

still requires the ski lift, which, might well be the birthday ride up

[edgy dagger]

yes

[stuck token]

ah, yes.

[edgy dagger]

Thats also in interrail

[stuck token]

is it?

i though it was discounted

but better

otherwise it wouldn't make any sense

[edgy dagger]

Wengen is new too, nice little line

Sucks that the rest is so expensive

[stuck token]

yeah. Like the rest of CH lmao

[edgy dagger]

The rest isn't so bad

idk I'm used to it

I know what's cheap

[stuck token]

If i'd play tennis here, I'd smack at least one ball all the way down there

[stuck token]

otherwise swiss travel pass

[edgy dagger]

eh

Might as well just get a halbtax

[stuck token]

81.25 per day for 4 days. when travelling a lot it could theoretically be worth, but still.

including these utterly expensive things and buses and so

however, I'm not sure if there is some kind of limitation

that one needs to live in CH or LIE

probably not

[edgy dagger]

I don't think those are free either

you can also get a 1 month GA btw

[stuck token]

they are usually included

[edgy dagger]

https://www.sbb.ch/en/tickets-offers/travelcards/ga-travelcard/ga-1-month.html

440fr for a whole month

[stuck token]

some express buses require a reservation hto

[stuck token]

bargain

[edgy dagger]

i should get one

[stuck token]

when there a lot, yea

15 CHF per day

basically

youth obv pays less

[edgy dagger]

I'm no longer youth since today

[rose peak]

You are in belgium

[stuck token]

F

so one needs to buy it in CH

if one does not have a passport

nah, they're kidding. Dutch ID's are fine too

[storm bison]

soph old

[edgy dagger]

I'm bed

Today was good

Still a shitton to do

[storm bison]

very early bed soph

goood map

I should cleanout some of the errors in the base map data

how are you still misisng a line out of lausanne?

[edgy dagger]

never bothered

it doesn't go anywhere interesting

it's too close to waste a day pass on

it's too expensive to buy a normal ticket for

[storm bison]

sounds like a place you would go.

this is like hdf. not interesting at first sight.

[tulip kernel]

They run 12 car regiolis there lol

[serene glen]

that is surprising yes

[edgy dagger]

cool how France has so many random sidings everywhere

most of them look like thus

[swift wolf]

This is good

[edgy dagger]

Bains-les-Bains

The station platform is exactly long enough for these one car trains

Silly town name too

@storm bison

[dull nacelle]

rare

[serene glen]

i think this isnt that rare in est

but still cool

[edgy dagger]

These are quite rare

but grand est doesn't seem to be ordering many new trains

oh apparently these trains were taken out of service

and are now being put back in service

[serene glen]

ddm

[swift wolf]

Are the cfl class 2000 ones gone

Oh apparently not

Weren't they supposed to retire last year

[edgy dagger]

They're supposed to retire when all new trains are delivered

[swift wolf]

Ah

[storm bison]

no. Idk if they still run anywhere. But amiens-Compiegne would make sense

[edgy dagger]

The train to Luxemburg is packed

SNCF moment

[storm bison]

they had a lot of diesel mainlines in northern france untill just a few years ago.

[storm bison]

Very rare

just wanted to say sncf supposed to have put them all out of service

[edgy dagger]

Yeah but they brought them back lol

[spare herald]

Sophie Luxembourg

@verbal haven

[edgy dagger]

Perfect for a dinner break

[stuck token]

how can one survive on 2,5h sleep

either heaps coffee of energy

or permanent zen

[outer cave]

Easily

Just be eepy all day

[stuck token]

i'd kill myself

[outer cave]

Bye

[stuck token]

i need to sleep

[outer cave]

Sitting in trains can be done while eepy

[edgy dagger]

I'm doing surprisingly well

[stuck token]

surprisingly

[edgy dagger]

i did have an energy drink

[stuck token]

chopping espressi at work is what makes it somewhat bearable

[rose peak]

This isn't that hard

Without coffee or energy

[stuck token]

one just needs to yell at you

near-assault

adrenaline boost

one is awake

or just a train cancellation will do

"Next one 4 hours later aaaaaa"

dzien dobry polska

[outer cave]

This is rare tho

[stuck token]

it is

[edgy dagger]

I'm wearing headphones

[stuck token]

i was supposed to take a train from klodzko to walbrzych. Smol diesel, once every four hours. It got cancelled.

too lazy to put the accents on

[outer cave]

I did Milan-Den Bosch on like 5-5,5 hours of sleep and an espresso. I didn't pay attention, enjoying the view too much maybe, and noticed I missed my stop like 20 minutes later.

That woke me up quite well

[stuck token]

yeah. tough times

feeling zombie

hardcore knikkebollen

[edgy dagger]

I'm fine for now

[outer cave]

Just get good

[edgy dagger]

I'll crash on the lux - Brussel train

But that's fine

Already done that route loads of times

[outer cave]

skill issue

[stuck token]

i still haven't mastered it

[outer cave]

How long does it take?

[stuck token]

it get these feelings when i don't need it

[edgy dagger]

3h

[outer cave]

Oooh

[stuck token]

and when i need it i don't have it

[outer cave]

Good nap length

[edgy dagger]

Well time your energy drinks/coffee

you don't need the caffeine

[stuck token]

i don't drink energy

[edgy dagger]

You just need time the crash 2h later well

[stuck token]

if i'd have 3 hours on a train, I'd open a book and see how long i last

smell of book paper means sleep

[edgy dagger]

The only book I have on me is a DND player handbook lol

[stuck token]

netbook

notebook computer

although I don't take these along anymore

I ahve a small paper notebook

i use it for emergency re-draws of travel plans in case stuffs messed up

[edgy dagger]

I just save trips in the SBB app

[stuck token]

i like to have multiple departure times in one overveiw so i can draw imaginary lines and if it works, i'd make a photo of it and refer to that

i can't find the booket atm but as is my mentality, i find the stuff when i don't search for it

[edgy dagger]

Sudden desire to hide in a photo booth

[serene glen]

I did really well on like one hour of sleep when going to Athens

[edgy dagger]

you just go to bed early on day two

[serene glen]

yes

I was like hmm I will even liggen op mijn bed and then when I woke up it was 13 hours later

[edgy dagger]

lmao

[serene glen]

this happens

it’s cool cause we basically had a stevige lunch and then when we got home we just did like some olives and maybe some bread or something we still had

amazing lunch though

[stuck token]

There it is. 2016 panic planning. First time interrail. I was supposed to stay at a friends place but that couldnt happen anymore due to personal circumstances or something.

[edgy dagger]

How the hell are you more chaotic with a plan than i am without

[stuck token]

it's just the handwriting

when i don't have a plan i become desperate

lol

i must know whether i can at all get somewhere by conventional ways

in CH it's ok to do as there's time table symmetry and cadanced services

in Germany oftentimes too, Belgium (trains), NL

in Denmark it's usually misery

France.... well

s tough

not to mention paris, it's just being paris

[edgy dagger]

I got offered a free bed by two seperate people in Paris so I kinda gotta go now

[stuck token]

couchsurfing or so?

[edgy dagger]

Online friends who are bougie enough to have a spare bedroom

one was an irl friend in Switzerland

But I helped her move to Paris

So now she's in Paris

funny how that works

SNCF Fret corails?

[storm bison]

YES!!! finally someone who does this too

[swift wolf]

Amazing

[storm bison]

soph knows too many people.

[swift wolf]

[edgy dagger]

But I'm glad that I get to ride a 2000

Liege route sucks lol

I've already done it

[storm bison]

and 2000

othe rones aswell right?

[edgy dagger]

This route gives me two tight transfers

[serene glen]

via liege isnt even much slower right

because overstappen

and liege ic is fast

from brussel

[edgy dagger]

It's the same

[serene glen]

good

[edgy dagger]

it's just two tight transfers which I don't feel like rn

• desiro

[serene glen]

because ic brussel aansluiting

7 minutes is ok

[edgy dagger]

There's not supposed to be any water here

[rose peak]

Buffer

[outer cave]

Nice

[storm bison]

out side NL usualyl flood no buffer

[stuck token]

desiro sadness

instead of proper intercity carriages

[edgy dagger]

yeah I'm not looking forward to that

[edgy dagger]

Ended up talking to an EU guy for an hour

"its 1h20 from Brussels to Luxemburg"

good people

sat in first class with him and the guards were like "oh ok"

turns out they don't care

but tbf it wasn't much more comfy either

also nice to talk to a Belgian about taalwetten

[spare herald]

this is good convo material

[edgy dagger]

yes

on the ic Brussel breda now

almost home

Can't wait to sleep

[spare herald]

Sophie eepy

[edgy dagger]

[spare herald]

how would you rate this route

[edgy dagger]

its not fast

but it's stress free

[spare herald]

that is true

no germany or paris stress

[edgy dagger]

all my trains have been on time

[spare herald]

i guess if you have the time

[serene glen]

sounds fun

[edgy dagger]

he was jealous of ostbelgien

those people just do their own thing

[serene glen]

explain

[edgy dagger]

they don't fight like the Walloons and Flemish do

They just sit in their own corner of Belgium with their own language

[spare herald]

literally a corner

it's cool

[serene glen]

hmm

[edgy dagger]

oh yeah

[rose peak]

Nice

[serene glen]

dik

[serene glen]

[edgy dagger]

just realised I'll be that eu guy in 40 years

[spare herald]

[edgy dagger]

I look forward to it

[verbal haven]

teleurstellend jij

[serene glen]

sorry

ik let niet altijd op

[verbal haven]

je moet alle raamhangbare treinen uit je hoofd kennen

[edgy dagger]

ja

[stuck token]

dat je daar nu pas achter komt, dat die ramen maar aan 1 kant open kunnen

maar, je bent erachter gekomen

vibing on trains only works when they give a travel vibe

metro's just don't

[outer cave]

Abuse how?

[serene glen]

by giving them money

[verbal haven]

in return for a plane ticket

[outer cave]

It's not really abuse if they give them to you for the amount of money they decided

[storm bison]

this is something french

RRR also have openable on one side

[outer cave]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkh6GxOM-yI You should go here and drive the speed limit™️

[edgy dagger]

I always drive the speed limit

[outer cave]

Of your car, presumably

[edgy dagger]

It's time
