Welcome to today's thread - 2025 #CrossBorderRail Conclusions Tour Day 01 - Ravières - Montbard - Paris - Stuttgart - Nürnberg - Marktredwitz
Today's re-visited borders:
Kehl 🇩🇪 - Krimmeri-Meinau 🇫🇷
(how long will Dobrindt’s ridiculous controls delay my train?)

New for this tour: I’ve found a new way of linking to active map layers. So maps for the day should be easier to read.
Here’s today’s intro video: https://peertube.netzbegruenung.de/w/mYHgR9gdBBcdpPaVHrqpJi

The #CrossBorderRail 2025 conclusions tour - mainly to go to events, but adding a few new borders too. Each day of the project is a Layer in the map - these should be displayed by default, or if not click the three layered diamonds icon "Open browser" to the left side of the map. The icons are all for borders, roughly coloured to differentiate the borders. A cross through a track means NO TRAINS CAN RUN. A cross through trains but not track means TRAINS CAN RUN BUT NO PASSENGER TRAINS. And TRAIN AND TRACK (no crosses) means there is a passenger service. All lines on the map are TRAINS, unless otherwise shown with icons along the lines - 🚲 for bike, 🚌 for bus, 🚗 for car, ⛴️ for ferry. Click each line to get basic information what it is.
App tip this morning
SNCF‘s main app - SNCF Connect - is generally terrible. Use @12train to book instead
And when travelling use Ma Gare SNCF - it gives useful information like where your carriage will stop before screens in French stations do
@jon have i extolled the virtues of the RFI's equivalent for Italy? https://iechub.rfi.it/ArriviPartenze/en/ArrivalsDepartures/Home
extremely retro but it's the only one I have found that lists all departures and platforms.
