I am a PhD candidate at the University of Duisburg-Essen and advisor to MEP Jens Geier (SPD). My interests are in EU budgetary and fiscal policy, and public opinion research
Today I endeavour on a small train odyssey going from Strasbourg to Florence to attend the Solidarity in Europe conference at the #EUI in #Florence. 3 different train companies. I already had to avoid the French #TER due to the general strike taking place today. Now on board the German ICE275 to Basel. The train has an "interlocking malfunction" (whatever that is), but seems to be running smoothly for now 💪
@jon @Pepijn very nice resource! I'll be sure to refer to it whenever the occasion arises ;)
@NvOndarza Good news indeed! Working in EU budget policy, I agree on your caveat, although I have the impression this got worse under vdL - what do you think?
@janboehm Kommt mir als steile These vor 🤔
@jon @Pepijn ah,.makes sense. Guess I got a little bit too excited
@Pepijn thanks for the info. I've been toying around a bit and also found a lot of trains that were not bookable on the website. Not sure why exactly
@realPatrickCl just be aware that the database is not complete. There might be optimal routes that are simply not shown.
It seems like #travelling by #train just got a little easier in Europe starting this year. You can now book international trains with other carriers via other plattforms, so I can now book the connection from Brussels to (my hometown) Duisburg on the #DB website, even if I want to take the Thalys!

One thing that Mastodon newcomers may not realize is how easy it is to turn Mastodon for web into essentially a Tweetdeck clone, with columns for search/compose, home, notifications, and any lists you've set up. It takes literally seconds.

Here's what mine looks like right now:
