#DeutscheBahn's #ticketmachines allow you to buy #traintickets anonymously in #Germany, without the superfluous carbondioxide emissions generated by #tracking on-line. Works nicely for all types of #DB discount schemes, even for destinations abroad - but not for connections to/fro #Austria including #ÖBB #RailJet. These can be bought #anonymously only from serviced DB counters.
There are only 2 journalists in regular newspapers I trust to write about railways: Olivier Razemon in Le Monde and Peter Neumann in Berliner Zeitung. And Tagesspiegel and Politico can be ok.
But the rest? Forget it. They regurgitate any old crap the rail industry or governments or EU institutions give them.
To be working on a topic where the moment anything gets wider traction you know it’s going to be poorly reported is… pretty tiring.
Today is the last #friday of a month: time for the #criticalmass #bicycle ride.
In #Munich we'll meet up in front of the #BayrischeStaatsoper from around 6pm and start to move at 6:30pm.
As usual there will be a break at the #Bavaria monument around 8pm, to welcome latecomers.
Ride careful today: ice-coated surfaces prevail.

Renfe to run Barcelona-Paris trains by *the end of this year*
The piece says the refusal to approve Renfe's trains to run on the Lyon-Paris line has been overcome, but does not say *how* or what trains they will use
The piece is very political, but political will to solve FR-ES rail problems is urgently needed!

Thank you @organicmaps for saving my weekend in Zürich! With no internet connection (stupid roaming charges), the ability to use maps offline made the trip a real boon.
Screw Google Maps: Organic Maps is so much better.
This is also my link of the day:
The “Istra” evening service for #Slovenia 🇸🇮, worked by a #SlovenianRailways class 711 unit, leaves #Pula 🇭🇷 in a northerly direction, passing through central #Istria. The line retains plenty of old railway charm, including semaphore signals and station buildings dating from the 1870s.

I'm not aware of a traditional #artisanal #organic #butcher shop in #Dresden, but earlier this year a #vegan equivalent opened its doors in the #Neustadt neighbourhood. Time for a handful of updates to the #organictraveller's guide to #zerowaste shopping in town: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-dresden-zero-waste
In need for a #snack or a proper #Sunday #breakfast? #Artisanal #organic #bakeries are easy to find in #Munich, and make it easy to #avoid_waste: Simply bring a clean cotton bag. Here's a new #organictraveller's guide to #baker and #butcher #shops: https://www.organictraveller.de/organictraveller-munich-bakeries-butchers
om du trenger noen forslag til gode vaner å innføre vil jeg nominere appen StreetComplete hvor du kan bidra med å fylle hullene i Open Street Map for området du befinner deg i. typisk svare på spørsmål som er det gangfelt her, er fortauskanten myk, hva er åpningstidene osv. ting som gjør OSM til et nyttigere alternativ til Google Maps.
Warum jetzt der sprichwörtliche #Nachtzug nach Lissabon nicht nur das Reisen in Europa revolutionieren, sondern auch noch das #Klima retten soll - und wer dafür verantwortlich ist sowie ein Blick in die neuen Züge:

Yay! Night train/sleeping car railway service Brussels – Amsterdam – Berlin starts on May 25th 2023.
Ticket sales will start on February 20th 2023.
Despite the rain almost a hundred #cyclists met up in #Munich tonight, for the monthly #criticalmass #bicycleride . The accompanying #police enjoyed the ride, too: We saw a #policeman on a #bike waving his feet, a policeman blocking a cross-road, #dancing to the music, and a policeman on his motorcycle standing upright, riding slalom. #Traffic can be #fun!

When people say that European Sleeper is a new night train between Brussels, Amsterdam and Berlin, they are right - it is LITERALLY 1 SINGLE TRAIN
It will go westbound 3 nights a week, and eastbound 3 nights and week, and have 1 night for servicing it
1 train
Sure, I am happy it will exist. But this is a drop in the ocean given the challenges we face
Tomorrow is the last #friday of a month: time for the #criticalmass #bicycle.
In #Munich we'll meet up in front of the #BayrischeStaatsoper from around 6pm and start to move at 6:30pm.
As usual there will be a break at the #Bavaria monument around 8pm, to welcome latecomers. Cross your fingers for a festive rain-free evening at about 10 °C.

#XMasTomatoes! This #tomato plant (raised from seeds taken from an #organic #tomato) had too many green fruits when it got too cold on the balcony. Although the fruits have not been notably bigger indoor since, they will be ripe in time for #boxingday #brunch.
