I’m speaking shortly about #CrossBorderRail in Sarajevo. Trying to apply some lessons from my project to South East Europe

No Stream, but PDF of slides here:

Green Mobility Summit. Where the bike parking is a lamp post. And there’s no way to take the stairs not to the lift… and there’s a LCD screen to direct people #CrossBorderRail

One or two comments at this Green Mobility Summit make me think the new railway line Kjustendil 🇧🇬 - Kriva Palanka 🇲🇰 is not as advanced as the news stories claim. I’m now extra looking forward to going there 🙂 #CrossBorderRail

This is going to be frustrating I fear…

This is the background on the I’m attending in Sarajevo https://www.transport-community.org/green-mobility-summit-vip-logistical-details/

I’ll sporadically toot about it

OMG. How to lose your audience in the first slide.

I think I need a new slogan on my business cards. “Invite me to speak at your event about transport and it won’t be as boring - honest!”

Sarajevo got some new trams since I was last here!

Via @gendx there’s a third possible high speed rival to SNCF in France - Proxima following Le Train and Kevin Speed https://www.sudouest.fr/economie/tgv-bordeaux-paris-proxima-une-future-alternative-a-la-sncf-20010776.php?csnt=18feca9447d

And of course Trenitalia (already) and Renfe (in future) are trying in France too

Is Proxima any good? No idea. I’ll try to properly analyse it, but after a 4 hour bus ride through Bosnia my mind is a bit foggy

Špišić-Bukovica

A proper platform. And some kids on mountain bikes

jon,

Vukosavljevica

There’s a bus shelter in the evening sun. But it does seem there’s been a little investment here!

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Pitomača

Platforms renovated here too, and a few passengers

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Kloštar

Evening sun on one passenger

Đurđevac

A solid station building

Virje

It’s now starting to feel less like the middle of nowhere

Karlovac

The lives!

Big place. Lots of people on and off

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

@ignaloidas No. The track is rated 60km/h. But we could go faster!

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

@ignaloidas You’re being too logical I fear. Nothing has been done on these sections for ages, although the track is ok-ish. Upgrading to 120 km/h would be simple and cheap. But not in sight to do it…

Križevci

Modern station, line being rebuilt here

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Vrbovec

More modern platforms. Once this Zagreb - Koprivnica line is done it’s going to be good! Not many passengers though

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Amazing! HŽPP is advertising about the Agreement on Journey Continuation 🙂

We want to make sure passengers are taken care of

jon,
@jon@gruene.social avatar

Dugo Selo

Final stop before Zagreb. Works haven’t started here yet…

@bilginveperk too long. It’s a decent regional DMU. Better than a Régiolis. But not good for 5 hours.
