Bien arrivé à Frankfurt (Main). J'ai eu un peu du temps, alors je me suis promené dans les alentours de la gare. Pas grand chose à voir concernant les aménagement cyclables par contre même la nuit il y a pas mal de bagnoles. Et maintenant es geht los nach Berlin. 3/n

Arrivé à Cologne. Prochaine escale à Frankfurt. 2/n #velo #CrossBorderRail #cologne #köln #fahrrad #velocity2025 #vc25

Der Zugmanager ist guter Dinge, dass wir so rechtzeitig in #Stockholm ankommen, dass mein lieber Kollege, der zu einer anderen Konferenz in Finnland fährt, und ich das Schiff nach #Turku kriegen. Wenn nich, is doof. #CrossBorderRail #ICNCongress2025

And here’s today‘s #CrossBorderRail summary

I now have a clearer idea what to do about Poland - Slovakia routes, so that’s useful

Wir stehen hier und warten … [Ältere Semester haben jetzt einen Ohrwurm. ] Der nette Mitarbeiter von #Snälltåget, der ebenfalls auf seinen Zug wartet, teilt uns mit, dass es zwischen Dresden und Berlin zu Verzögerungen kommt. [Jup. Eingleisig. Kenne ich.] Witziger Move der DB: Der private schwedische Zug verschwindet einfach von der Anzeige. Information: 0. #CrossBorderRail #traivelling #nighttrain #ICNCongress2025

#train help needed!

I have to be in Amersfoort, NL on Wednesday morning. Have a ticket for Denmark - Netherlands on Tuesday. Only tomorrow will it be clear whether that journey is possible..

So: I would like to change to travel tomorrow instead. Paying for the extra hotel is fine, but the ticket is expensive especially if the original is not refunded..

Is there any way to contact DB / Bahn about that today?

Just tagging @jon for the hell of it.. ;-)

It's a good thing #DB #bahn is super helpful and doesn't, like, just hang up on their customers. #CrossBorderRail is sooo much fun :-|

And given I examined 5 borders yesterday, and 4 today, and will go to Podczerwone - Suchá Hora tomorrow... and I was on 289 borders before... then means I am going to hit on Wednesday

That's a lot of #CrossBorderRail
