Agh 😡

@samuele963 sent me the timetables for the inaugural Gorizia 🇮🇹 - Nova Gorica 🇸🇮 trains on 8 Feb

There's no sensible way to get there other than with Interrail, and that's €212 for a 4 day pass (and I need to add reservation fees, and accommodation)

And while I welcome this new #CrossBorderRail service, I can't justify that much for the launch of a train that's going to be 2x a day

@jon Yeah it's a real shame 😦
If it helps, I can offer accomodation at my place. But those ticket prices are such a pain...

@samuele963 Thanks! Slovenian side I know some people too. But it's mostly the trains that are damned expensive (not least as I'd have to travel to Venezia on a Friday)

@jon Yeah... if you're ok with suffering, any luck with Flixbus perhaps?

@samuele963 (the only way might be to tag this onto the Interrail for my #CrossChannelRail project in March - were I to get a 2 month pass)

@jon Aaah, of course, yeah. Can combine it with other cross-border lines too if there are any you're missing in the area

Should be a good year for railway news, I'm personally very excited for the Koralmbahn since it'll make it possible to get to Graz as a day trip even from here!
