Today’s live text updates
This all means I’m not going to be able to get to where the Wachtlbahn crosses the border near Kiefersfelden today. I’ll have to return next year sometime. So #CrossBorderRail will be stuck on 449 borders a while more 😡 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wachtlbahn?wprov=sfti1
Ah. The previous incoming S Bahn to Brenner broke down at Gries. Just no one said so 🤷♂️ #CrossBorderRail
Brenner on a snowy day when trains are disrupted. Not a great joy! Live data doesn’t work (that S3 never arrived). Announcements only cover Italian trains, not Austrian ones. Waiting room is… sparse! #CrossBorderRail
Found some quaint FS murals though #CrossBorderRail
You can 🪨 your way all the way from Bologna to Brenner. But your back won’t thank you! #CrossBorderRail
TGV M, I take back all the critique of the seats. The seats could be as bad as in a Hitachi Rock (ie 🪨hard) #CrossBorderRail
