From the sublime to the slightly ridiculous: trip timetable changes in Switzerland and Romania

03.06.2022

Max Wyss – one of the excellent community of Swiss railway nerds on Twitter – messaged me with a suggestion: why not route via Rapperswil to St Gallen on Day 23 of #CrossBorderRail. That would mean taking in part of the Voralpen Express run by Südostbahn. The new Stadler built trains […]

Pre-departure events in Berlin – choose between a serious discussion and a chat over a beer!

Before #CrossBorderRail starts in earnest on 13 June, there are two pre-departure events in Berlin – one informal and one formal. It’s not only that Berlin is home, but it’s also the place where many of the people who have helped me with the whole project are based. So it […]

A small step forward for rail in Greece, so now Athens is on my itinerary

11.05.2022

When I originally did the planning for the #CrossBorderRail project I thought it was going to be impossible to get all the way to Athens. But now – thanks to a timetable change by TrainOSE, the Greek railways – I have been able to reorganise the South East loop so […]
