Today’s post is a “would have” one. Today, 15 April 2026, would have been the first day of operation of the #Basel🇨🇭#Malmö 🇸🇪 #EuroNight #472, stopping, en route, at various stations in #Germany 🇩🇪 and #Denmark 🇩🇰, and operated by #BTE #BahnTouristikExpress.
Lacking government funding, the operation of this train was eventually cancelled. (And, a few weeks ago, I got a refund for the ticket I bought.)
A shoutout to all who really tried hard to get this train running!

@andreaswiedenhoff It really is too bad it failed to materialise. I'd have loved to go back to Switzerland next year but I guess it'll end up being Czechia instead. Got to support the companies actually running trains from Copenhagen.

Aren't we all glad that the saved money was re-directed back to the airline industry?

@andreaswiedenhoff oh, no. 😭 I was hoping to finally be able to take the route Freiburg-Oslo in one go again, like I did 20 years ago.
