Hranice has this funky looking bike parking tower at the station. But you have to pay to park there, and the rules how to use it are complicated. And Hranice has few cyclists… So unsurprisingly it’s rather empty!

The timetable Strelenka - Púchov 🇸🇰🤦‍♂️

What the hell happened here? Did ZSSK employ SNCF timetable consultants? #CrossBorderRail

My EuroCity is delayed due to building works - both electrification upgrades and Vsetín station being rebuilt. I can forgive delays for reasons like this 😊

Strelná

Border station, Czech side

The problem? No trains to Slovakia 🤦‍♂️

All the trains from Czechia to here… go back to Czechia. The trains to Slovakia are EuroCity trains that don’t stop

#CrossBorderRail fail

@jon Erinnert mich an den netten Japaner, dem ich mal kurz vor Wittenberge im Regionalexpress schonend beibringen musste, dass er nicht auf dem Weg in die Lutherstadt ist...

@christianschwaegerl @jon Weia. 🙈 Ich hatte mal im ICE zwei Norweger, die zum Wacken wollten und nach Frankfurt geflogen sind.
