Good Morning from the #SBB🇨🇭#EuroCity #61 to #Milano 🇮🇹 via the #Lötschberg and #Simplon routes. Breakfast in the #elventino #DiningCar as we leave #Basel. Beautiful views of Lake #Thunersee (with a northbound SBB double-decker InterCity train from #Interlaken in the foreground).

We herkennen de ober nog van afgelopen zomer, een zo gedienstige man dat het wel wat minder mocht. De bistro is een traditioneel restaurant met een vaste, degelijke kaart. We krijgen binnen een ereplaats aan het venster en kijken uit op het overdekte terras..
Fancying Austrian cuisine, in a Swiss restaurant? Try the #SBB🇨🇭#DiningCar on #EuroCity #Transalpin, a train linking these two countries. The diner is the type of car you will otherwise find on many Swiss InterCity trains, yet the menu and staff are Austrian, the same as on #ÖBB 🇦🇹 #Railjet trains.
Going through the photos taken yesterday while travelling on #EuroCity #164 #Transalpin. The long consist was first hauled by one #ÖBB 🇦🇹 Class 1016/1116 #Taurus electric, then by two of them for the steep gradients on the #Arlberg line. Finally an #SBB🇨🇭#Re460 brought us, on time, into #Zurich HB.

After the first #DB #DSB #ECE #Eurocity train from #Hamburg to #Kopenhagen had a blocking brake near Rendsburg we had to switch to another one there after over an hour stop on the rails.

Now the new train (same type) is rolling, but electric power from the seat plugs was off until the headlights were switched on (after an hour), heating wasn't working first and the signage monitors behave strange: We were riding into the unknown...

Is this the #talgo230 and does it have design problems?

Another particularly #European 🇪🇺 train today: #Eurocity #Vauban, originally starting in Milan 🇮🇹, seen here at Saint-Louis 🇫🇷 on its way from Switzerland🇨🇭to Belgium 🇧🇪 via Strasbourg 🇫🇷 & Luxembourg 🇱🇺. The loco: #SNCF 🇫🇷, the coaches #SBB 🇨🇭 & #SNCB #NMBS 🇧🇪. Picture taken in February 2009. #PastTrainTrips
A train, as #European 🇪🇺 as it gets. This is #EuroCity #175 “Jan Jesenius”, pictured here at Bad Schandau in May 2013. It used to serve four European capital cities on its daylong trip from #Hamburg: #Berlin 🇩🇪, #Prague 🇨🇿, #Bratislava 🇸🇰 and #Budapest 🇭🇺, a journey of more than 18 hours. Luckily there was a @diningcar 😉.

#Görlitz, von Polen (Zgorzelec) aus gesehen. Wir sind heute natürlich extra für den Fotovorschlag in die östlichste Stadt Deutschlands gefahren. 😋 Seit 1945 gehört Zgorzelec am anderen Ufer der #LausitzerNeiße als eigenständige Stadt zu #Polen, davor war es ein Stadtteil von Görlitz. Heute bilden beide Schwesternstädte die #Europastadt Görlitz/Zgorzelec. 🤝

Görlitz, as seen from #Poland (Zgorzelec). We visited Germany's easternmost town today just for FotoVorschlag. 😋 Since 1945, #Zgorzelec on the opposite bank of the #LusatianNeisse is a separate Polish town; before that, it was the eastern part of Görlitz. Together, the two twin cities now form the Euro City of Görlitz/Zgorzelec. 🤝

It's pretty calm actually! And the train already arrived so for the next half an hour I don't have to freeze outside.

Because of the strike in Belgium travellers are allowed to hop on any EuroCity or EuroCity Direct train regardless of the service you booked for. Really nice you don't have to worry about that.

Right after I stopped being a frequent traveler on the Budapest - Prague - Berlin railway line last autumn, most of the EuroCity trains got upgraded to be Czech Railjets.

I noticed because these trains almost literally pass through my backyard, finally took one for a 30min domestic trip yesterday.

Seems to be an upgrade compared to the old rundown MÁV & co. rolling stock.

Neither the schedule, nor the notoriously bad punctuality has improved though.
