Train thoughts traveling Riga - London for like fifth time
* I love possibilities this brings. Riga and other train exchanges are buzzing with travelers. World feels connected which in these times is huge;
* Lithuanian, Polish, German trains are really, really good. Price performance wise they are one of the best in continent;

A gift called „An Hour“.

For someone like me who’s not regularly travelling by train, it is still a little bit of an adventure. I remember my first conscious train trips as a kid, the wonder and excitement, being able to walk around while You’re travelling, the constant comforting and sullying noise that a train makes, the regular little bumps, the slight cracking of the chassis, the people murmuring around You.

A thought about free wifi on trains and train stations in the UK. Wifi on the go is an immersion in understanding service volatility. It comes and goes like a torch with a failing battery. This is a good reminder that all infrastructure is precarious, it’s just how well the precarity is masked. Infrastructure precarity in turn exposes infrastructure equity: who doesn’t have other means? Where? #TrainThoughts
Setting off from Macclesfield under blue skies, filled with the hospitality and kindness this week of @lauraritchie and @francesbell. As a bonus I’m getting the hang of UK trains and their hectic pricing. #TrainThoughts
The train announcer has just told us that this train “is smaller than it should be”. Life is often like this. #TrainThoughts
I would like the recorded voice on south coast trains to read to me at night. It’s like the shipping forecast in here, although slightly discordant when she pivots to “see it. say it. sort it.” Which is kind of stern. #TrainThoughts
Why don’t they make every car on the train an observation car? #Amtrak #Zephyr #TrainThoughts
Rolling into Dublin. A guy on the platform with bright green hair, and what looked like a carabiner clip hooked into a hole-making ear piercing. Prepared.

Bike shorts but with lights so that you can use your bum cheeks as turning indicators #trainthoughts
I ❤️ the train. The direct London - Amsterdam connection is 🌈🚄 We need more connections like that in 🇪🇺 And we need them to be cheaper than flying #trainthoughts #train #eurostar
