Trans-Europe Express»
This morning saw the first fully integrated trans-continental session of #EDBC2023, with talks alternately streamed between Oxford and Paris, plus lively discussions across all sites.
This worked great- massive sigh of relief from me!
Night trains and cross-Europe trains used to be more common.
"At the height of its operations, in 1974, the Trans-Europe Express (TEE) network comprised 45 trains, connecting 130 different cities, from Spain in the west to Austria in the east, and from Denmark to Southern Italy. "
But night trains in Spain have been removed following new high-speed lines. Deutsche Bahn also abandoned them. SNCF closed several (edited: not during the pandemic but in 2016-2017)
Working on merch ideas for myself while listening to Kraftwerk. 🥰
(I saw them live at the MoMa, don't y'know?)
