So here’s the solution - and even a timetable! - to fix Flensburg 🇩🇪 - Padborg 🇩🇰 (- Tinglev 🇩🇰)

Aim high!

(How you can make a connection every hour, using one train, with a locomotive on either end)

How Alstom's inability to deliver trains on schedule, and Danish incompetence, will break an important regional train connection (and how to fix it)

As if Denmark - Germany long distance international connections were not already bad enough thanks to the Talgo saga, now the regional train connections between the two countries are getting worse as well.What follows in this post is a diagnosis only of the regional trains - long distance Hamburg - København trains

And damn I am tired

Why the **** does it land with me to put forward a solution for a rail problem that SHOULD NOT HAVE ARISEN IN THE FIRST PLACE and WAS KNOWN BY THE DANES FOR 2 YEARS?

AAGGHAHHAG

Would anyone like to employ me to STOP THE PROBLEM HAPPENING?

That Flensburg 🇩🇪 - Padborg 🇩🇰 #CrossBorderRail would be a problem in 2027 could have been foreseen since at least mid-2024

But because DSB is abjectly incompetent, they did not act, and now propose a bus replacement for at least a year, and likely much longer

How the mess arose, and what to do about it 👇

Normal morning here

1️⃣ Get a message about some international train mess somewhere (today: Flensburg 🇩🇪 - Padborg 🇩🇰)

2️⃣ Try to work out what the hell’s going on, from a thicket of partial and at times contradictory information

3️⃣ Establish where the problem lies (not too hard in this case)

4️⃣ Try to work out what anyone could do (sodding hard)

5️⃣ Then begin to write it all up (ongoing)

Oh hell. He thinks Badajoz - Merida is standard gauge. How the **** does this crap get so many views? #CrossBorderRail

🤦‍♂️

Some Youtube dude has tried to explain why Lisboa - Madrid is so bad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHfehfYryoE

And uses a map that is so off I don’t want to watch (the while line is the train, and no it doesn’t go via Castelo Branco)
