Paspaidījām durvju pogu, un laidām, lai brauc.
Kad palaidīs reisus, noteikti gribēsies uz ziemeļiem aizvizināties.

Seit diesem Jahr ist es möglich mit nur einem Umstieg durch das gesamte #Baltikum #Vilnius - #Riga - #Tallinn zu reisen. Dabei verkehrt ein Pesa-Triebwagen von #LTGLink 🇱🇹 in Kooperation mit #Vivi 🇱🇻 und #Elron 🇪🇪 über beide Landesgrenzen. Im estnischen Grenzbahnhof #Valga ist noch ein abgestimmter Umstieg zu einem Stadler-DMU von Elron notwendig, um bis nach Tallinn zu gelangen.

Es braucht ein bissl Sitzfleisch, aber der Pesa ist recht komfortabel und Snacks werden an den Platz serviert.

A #Elron Flirt on the short Klooga-Kloogaranna branch line #BlankSpots
Of course, I have to board a 🇪🇪 #Elron train. On the westbound line from Tallinn, trains run every 20 minutes. They terminate alternately at Paldiski, Turba, or the junction station of Keila. Four trains a day are extended from Keila to the branch line to Kloogaranna. For a limited time only, the entire Elron fleet consists of Stadler Flirt trains. New Škoda trains will soon be in service to complement them. I am familiar with the Flirt trains from back home, but not with this width. #BlankSpots
#Elron is conducting test runs today and later this week between #Valga and #Riga stations for their coming direct (#Tallinn –) #Tartu – Riga train connection.
The destination sign says "Tere Riia!", i.e. "Hello Riga!"

Ajakava! ​​​​​​Algavad Valga-Riia katsesõidud | Elron

4. – 6. veebruarini Valga – Riia vahelisel raudteelõigul toimuvate katsesõitude käigus jõuab Elroni rong esmakordselt Riia keskraudteejaama. Katsesõidud on vajalikud Eestis kasutatavate rongide sertifitseerimiseks Läti raudteedel, et saaks käivitada Tartu ja Riia vahelise otseühenduse.

Seems that #Trump's own father would have been deported under the #AlienEnemiesActOf1798. #Elron as well.

First hints of #Elron's direct #Tallinn#Tartu#Riga #train timetables:
Tallinn 15:08 –> Riga 20:56
Riga 5:35 (!) –> Tallinn 11:19
Changes still likely.

Probably @jon already saw this earlier?
Elron

TÄHELEPANU, Tartu - Riia rongiliini huvilised. Tuleb täpsustada Delfi Ärilehes toodud infot, mille järgi hakkab Tartust rong jõudma Riiga kell 23.30 ja tagasi Tartusse väljub kell 4 😱 Päris nii...

First Tartu-Riga train connection test to take place in August

Elron will start testing the planned Tartu-Riga train line next month and the biggest challenges are expected to be radio communication and fitting trains into the Latvian railway corridor.

@Island_Martha @statsguy @jon Fully agree.
For my #CrossBorderRail tour around Baltic Sea next week, #DB, #DSB, #SJ and #Elron did their best to sabotage my travel plans:
- no night trains Hamburg-Stockholm
- no direct trains Hamburg-København
- Tallinn-Valga-Rīga on weekends broken: Elron arrives 3 mins after Vivi has left Valga
- Baltic station closed 15.-21. july
- EC Warszawa-Berlin ends at Frankfurt(Oder)
Mostly due to trackworks.
I‘ll find my way, though
#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?
