#CrossBorderRail 2026 Spring Tour
Tours in Spring 2026. Each day of the project is a Layer in the map - these should be displayed by default, or if not click the three layered diamonds icon "Open browser" to the left side of the map. The icons are all for borders, roughly coloured to differentiate the borders. A cross through a track means NO TRAINS CAN RUN. A cross through trains but not track means TRAINS CAN RUN BUT NO PASSENGER TRAINS. And TRAIN AND TRACK (no crosses) means there is a passenger service.

Moof! 🔜 #JetLagTheGame NLOn the rails again... #Interrail #CrossBorderRail
Today, Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG, @darkphoenix and I are in a lovely 
ICE 3neo heading from Amsterdam to Osnabrück and then changing towards Hamburg Hbf.
It's good to be on an ICE again, it's been way too long. This is one of the comfiest ways of doing long distance travel, and it'll be a nice wind-down after the intensity of the game of Jet Lag.
Today's itinerary: https://moof.space/trip/2026-04-13
Bruno GirinReached Paris on TGV INOUI 9706. Figueres Vilafant looked greener than I remembered (cue photo for @jon ). Mobile reception was abysmal most of the journey. The TGV Bar had a Happy 15 Minutes at the end to reduce the stock of drinks.
I am always amazed by the high speed boarding at Barcelona Sants: it looks chaotic but they still manage to get a full train to board in 10 minutes flat.
WrzlbrnftWeiß eigentlich wer, gibt es aktuell Möglichkeiten, die #CrossBorderRail Route von Sežana nach Trieste Centrale komplett auf dem (Normalspur-)Schienenweg zu befahren?
