#CrossBorderRail 2026 Spring Tour

Tours in Spring 2026.Each day of the project is a Layer in the map - these should be displayed by default, or if not click the three layered diamonds icon "Open browser" to the left side of the map.The icons are all for borders, roughly coloured to differentiate the borders. A cross through a track means NO TRAINS CAN RUN. A cross through trains but not track means TRAINS CAN RUN BUT NO PASSENGER TRAINS. And TRAIN AND TRACK (no crosses) means there is a passenger service.

Today's #CrossBorderRail I've had:

Track repairs - +10 Frankfurt, but I continued

Medical emergency on another train - forced me to re-route via Ingolstadt-Regensburg instead of München

Extra unscheduled stop at Amstetten - police called to confiscate a package, presumably drugs. And I switched to a different train

And - despite all of that - I am ONLY 1 hour late, 45 mins from Szeged!
