Braid in trains 
- solidarity with 
#Braidspoor finale : after a well coordinated 
togbus ride, I caught my last train for a while. A grimy but at least punctual 
IR MG will drop me in 🇩🇰 #Gelsted for #BornHack in a couple of minutes minutes.
This #Braidspoor trip was :
- 7 countries : 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 🇦🇹 🇭🇺 🇺🇦 🇵🇱 🇸🇪 🇩🇰
- 4 night trains ( 
#KálmánImre, 
#Hortobágy, 
Ш #Chronomorets, Ш 036 Одеса - Przemyśl)
- 1 night ferry
- 2 seas ( the Black Sea & the Baltic Sea )
- lots of joy & tasty food
Thanks a lot for reading my report !
💙💛 Stand with Ukraine 💙💛 !
Arrived in 🇺🇦 #Київ /Kyiv/, 3 hours late. The ІС to carry our through carriages from 
#Hortobágy already left a long time ago, our carriages were included into the 
#Transcarpathia due to the delay. Sunset is yet beautiful above the cityscape, now time for tasty dinner. Damn, I was missing this city 🥰. #Braidspoor

Good morning 🇺🇦 Ukraine ! The #Hortobágy safely brought us to the border of 🇺🇦 #Чоп /Chop/ where we arrived with ~3 hours of delay. After regauging, the delay accumulated to round about 4 hours in 🇺🇦 #Мукачево /Mukachevo/. Gladly, the ІС 750 was waiting with its departure for you through carriages with its departure for 🇺🇦 #Київ /Kyiv/. #Braidspoor

After tasty breakfast with @stadtstreunen_at and a relaxing day in #metalab, our #Hortobágy with its RIC wagon-lits through carriages to 🇺🇦 #Київ finally showed up with 50 minutes of delay. @vorortanleiter still waved after us - eastbound it goes with the next major break in 🇺🇦 #Чоп for regauging. #Braidspoor

New #Braidspoor trains in my next trip :
- D 40149 / Ш 149Д #Hortobagy 🇦🇹 Wien Hbf - 🇭🇺 Budapest-Keleti - 🇺🇦 Київ Пас
- Ш 036Ш / TLK 35/33030 🇺🇦 Одеса - 🇵🇱 Przemyśl Gl.
Though these are new trains, neither of the routes is new to me. Well, but the trains are cute.
All settled for my next #Braidspoor #CrossBorderRail trip : by waiting for 12 a.m. last night, I could catch two of the rare 
149 #Hortobagy through carriage reservations from 🇦🇹 Wien Hbf to 🇺🇦 Київ Рас.
Since the 
were delayed in their booking system, I had to make use of the 
MÁV online system constraining international ticket purchases to stations from/to Hungary so in fact the ticket is only from Hegyshalom rather than Wien Hbf. Along with InterRail this shouldn't make a difference anyway, especially considering how we will first visit the dining car of the #SleeperAndEater anyway.
I'm very excited : I've already been in pretty any kind of Ukrainian sleeper carriages but the western-style RIC carriages of Ukrainian origin are something new to me anyway.
Our trip will be a long one : we will start in 🇫🇷 Alsace by regional train across the border to 🇩🇪 Germany and from 🇩🇪 Stuttgart on, the #KalmanImre will be taking us eastbound during night one. The first day will be a relaxed day in 🇦🇹 Wien (happy to meet fellow railway enthusiasts there, just poke me !), night two will bring us via 🇭🇺 Budapest and 🇺🇦 Львів to 🇺🇦 Київ where we planned delicious vegan dinner and sight seeing for my daughter who never went there before. Night three will bring us with the modern and comfortable 105К flagship to 🇺🇦 Одеса where we plan a relaxed day swimming in the Black Sea at the beaches of south of the town.
Because our destination sadly isn't Ukraine itself but 🇩🇰 Odense, night four will bring us north-westbound to 🇵🇱 Przemyśl in the through carriages of the 36Ш mainline. Day four will be a daytime travel day getting us to 🇵🇱 Gdynia at the Baltic Sea ports where night five will sail us by 
Stenaline over the sea to 🇸🇪 Karlskrona with the final part on day six via 🇩🇰 København to #BornHack on 🇩🇰 Funen island 🎉.
Stay tuned for railway travel reports !
Does anyone know why 🤝 only carry three WLABm through carriages from/to Ukraine onto the 140 / 149 #Hortobagy ? They are always fully booked and I feel like both УЗ and OeBB are actually pretty interested in improving the service. What's the limiting factor ? RIC rolling stock availability ? Train length ? Re-gauging facility capacity in Chop ? #CrossBorderRail
Because right now, there are literally just 30 - 90 seats available all the way from Wien to Kyiv - nothing compared to the capacity on the route section Chop <-> Lviv <-> Kyiv where the Ш 750 / 749 operated with 25+ carriages.
