Another #CrossBorderRail ticketing annoyance: while the Nightjet website allows booking tickets for several people at once, and allows booking Interrail reservations, it doesn't allow booking a regular ticket + an Interrail reservation on the same train in one transaction. You can configure 1 regular adult + 1 Interrail holder in the search bar but get blank results.

And if you make 2 separate transactions, there's no guarantee to end up in the same compartment...

De Lijn gaat van naam veranderen! Voortaan heten wij “Oosterweelverbinding”.

Deze naamsverandering is noodzakelijk om 13,6 miljard euro extra aan werkingsmiddelen te krijgen. Maar niks tegen Annick zeggen tot de overschrijving binnen is hé!

The Hungarian railways MÁV deserve a special mention for providing a detailed list of all train types they operate, with for each (1) a photo gallery *including bicycle spaces* and (2) a clear mention of the number of bicycle spots. https://www.mavcsoport.hu/en/mav-szemelyszallitas/domestic-travels/vehicle-types

If only all railway operators would offer this as a baseline!

The other take-away is that ALL of these trains offer at least 1 bicycle spot, and often many more. 🚲🚂🚲🚃🚲🚄🚲 #CyclingOnRails #MAV #Hungary
