@statsguy @Island_Martha Warsaw - Vilnius runs. Vilnius - Riga runs. But they don’t connect. You need a night in Vilnius.

@jon @statsguy
... and that would be a most terrible punishment.
If you do get stuck I could recommend a place to have a nosh and a beer. Lithuanians make great beer.

@Island_Martha @jon I think I'm starting to get sold on the idea of doing the journey by train now

@statsguy @jon
I predict it would be worth it. Train travel isn't just about getting from A to B, it is often an adventure

@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

@michael_h @statsguy @jon
I believe in you - but I think you're going to need a crystal ball to do it.

@Island_Martha @statsguy @jon Isn‘t that a part of the adventure?
Hope I‘ll be done with 2 extra overnight stays and a load more transfers. Plus (shame on me) taking a bus from Tartu to Rīga - otherwise my travel plan would explode 🤬
Lessons learned already:
- no tight travel schedules
- more overnight stays for tourist trips
- July is good for trackworks, but not for travel
- expect the unexpected
