Jon WorthOk here we go
Praha - Berlin - København
ČD - DB - DSB event
They’re proud it’s one of the 2023 EU pilot projects
But I don’t know what the EU did to make this happen
I’ll tag the thread #CrossBorderRail from now on
The event is at the -1 bunker level at Berlin Hbf. Theoretically there’s 5G but it’s poor. Posting might be limited. #CrossBorderRail
OSDM klaxon #CrossBorderRail
Why OSDM isn’t enough #CrossBorderRail
Peel back the rhetoric and state railways are naked on Europe-wide ticketing - only EU law is going to fix this mess
For the past few years the state owned railways in Europe - represented in Brussels by Community of European Railways (CER) - have been working on their "Ticketing Roadmap" (yes, don't laugh, railway companies really have a roadmap). This roadmap is the railways' response to customer and political demands to better
The German government supports the passenger package, says Tzitzikostas. That’s news to Deutsche Bahn 🙂 #CrossBorderRail
Damn this event is total tedium. Can we just have events where we skip the bla bla on the podium? #CrossBorderRail
Ute Bonde struggles to even read a speech #CrossBorderRail
“Why did you use the ComfortJet train?” ČD is asked here.
What else are you gonna use? A Talgo? 😆
“We’re lacking standardisation” says the DSB dude
Which country has the biggest headaches on this?
Look in the mirror Flemming Jensen! #CrossBorderRail
I asked the DSB CEO about the standardisation issue. Denmark is probably the worst EU country for type approval for trains imho. And he flatly denied it was a Danish problem and blamed the EU Agency. Ridiculous. #CrossBorderRail
After the #CrossBorderRail launch event at Hbf there was a follow up at the Danish Embassy to which I wasn’t invited (I’d not known it was even happening)
And I was then told by someone there my work was cited at the event 🤔
Folks, really. If my work is useful, invite me!
