Jon WorthSo I didn’t make a fool of myself at Eurotrans. And people understood my points - as I’ve got useful examples to make what I’m talking about real and relateable. Quick 10 mins on a bench in the sun and now back towards Berlin… #Eurotrans2024
Top Zoom tip: if your face is too bright / low contrast, make your fake background likewise 🙂 #Eurotrans2024
Ah. Megaprojects often don’t get the traffic they expected when they started building. We know that. “We need a better assessment control framework from the EU”. Laughing darkly here. What EU politician gives a 💩 about that? #Eurotrans2024
Being at this #Eurotrans2024 conference is weird. It’s another one of these situations where I don’t know if I’m enlightened or if I’m stupid.
I can cut through the bullshit in these speeches like a knife through butter. But the people here have roles, responsibility, income *massively* higher than I do.
Here’s my post about #RailBaltica after travelling a big part of the future route earlier this year #Eurotrans2024

Now they’re trying to talk about #RailBaltica. It’s horrid. At least I know what I don’t know about Rail Baltica, which is better than this. #Eurotrans2024
Ahhh finally a good speaker. Daniel Hörcher from Imperial. Sharp guy #Eurotrans2024 https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/d.horcher
Sadly Sönke Reise’s presentation went downhill from his name onwards. #Eurotrans2024
Oh. And I get to #Eurotrans2024 and who’s here: Bogusław Liberadzki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogus%C5%82aw_Liberadzki?wprov=sfti1#
The MEP who - as Rapporteur for the Rail Passenger Rights Regulation in 2021 - bears more political responsibility for the mess we’re in with ticketing and rights than more than anyone
