After the ferry to #Tallinn and my usual cafe, I had a comfortable #LuxExpress overnight bus to #Warsaw. The bus arrived early to the central station, so I hopped on an earlier train to Prague a minute before it left (#EC116 instead of #EC131). No surprises from an 8h direct train. Wifi didn't work but a fellow traveler supplied a hotspot so I could get a valid ticket on the interrail app. (Having to be constantly online to get and show a valid ticket is my least favourite part of interrail.)

#Travel across the #Baltics has seen yet another improvement lately with the direct #Tallinn to #Vilnius #train . This is a clear indication about the #railfactor . The same route by #bus is the same price, one hour faster and in my personal experience the #LuxExpress seats are great. Still, many people prefer the train, myself included. To me, it is mainly about not getting nauseous when reading or working with laptop, but there are probably other reasons too.

Tallinn-Vilnius train connection exceeds expectations

A trainline launched between the capitals of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in January has exceeded expectations and sales of bus tickets on the same route have dropped by more than 25 percent.

#LTG took us to rainy #Riga with a slight delay. We would still have made the #pv / #Vivi train to #Valga, but as #Elron had further worsened the connection there (not sure to make it to the ship), took the #LuxExpress bus to #Tallinn instead. Very comfy in the "lounge" section, but I still prefer the train.
Saw for the first time something concrete of #RailBaltica, its station construction in Riga. In wait of that, is there hope for better connections on the existing lines?
