Ihr findet doch alle Aufrechtigkeit, Transparenz und Ehrlichkeit bei Mastodon wahnsinnig gut, oder?

Ich hab mich wie ein wahrhafter Österreicher in der Excelspalte vom Reiseplan des Kollegen verschaut und es geht erst morgen los. 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 (Wenn man nicht alles selber plant 😛)

Vom IC3 zurück nach Basel gesendet. 😁🤦‍♂️

@wrzlbrnft Jetzt musst du noch die Reisendenbefragung anrufen und dein Reiseziel korrigieren lassen ;)

On the road again, off to TIA to get our first fight. Hopefully all the team will be home by early evening!

@natural20 Surely, the airport experience won’t be that bad! 😜

Those abandoned narrow gauge railways in Alto Adige are annoyingly wiggly. I’m starting to be a bit afraid of mapping Austria!

@schnedan But, crucially, can it be food if it is liquid?

@schnedan Yeah, but also: “Das bisschen was ich esse, kann ich auch trinken.”

@jaschop It made me take a picture and post it. So, I guess it worked?

@lewd Interesting. Back when I had a BahnCard 100, it felt more like “Ach, we’d rather you’d buy regular tickets.”

partim,
@partim@social.tchncs.de avatar

@tml @lewd It’s the equivalent of a full price return trip Berlin to Köln once a month and then some - and nobody pays full price, like, ever.

You’re a really good customer with a BahnCard 100, even if it saves you money. That’ll just be synergy …

OK

Let's have a closer look at this “Arriva wants to run a Groningen-Paris train by 2025" story

News in Dutch here:
https://nos.nl/regio/groningen/artikel/403576-arriva-wil-trein-groningen-parijs-5-30-uur-weg-en-om-10-40-uur-op-gare-du-nord-update

In this 🧵 I'll assess each aspect of it - timetable and paths, rolling stock, operations

I’m pretty sure Groningen-Paris tickets would sell like hot cakes - that's not the problem

@jon Almere – Weesp has twelve (!) trains per hour and direction. They do occasionally run the Berlin train via this route but I now can’t remember if they then cancel a Sprinter for it.

@tristramg @jon Note that Renfe currently is only allowed as far north as Lyon. French certifications are on a line-by-line basis.

Arriva is planning a direct train Groningen-Paris by 2026 https://nos.nl/r/403576 @seatsixtyone @jon

@partim@social.tchncs.de avatar

@jon @casblaauw @alard42 @seatsixtyone I thought the plan was 407 for France and 408 for Benelux?

partim,
@partim@social.tchncs.de avatar

@jon @casblaauw @alard42 @seatsixtyone Also, I don’t think DB is actually certified as a passenger rail operator in France. The only non-SCNF operator allowed on high speed lines seems to be Renfe and they can only go from the Perpignan to Marseille and Lyon.

partim,
@partim@social.tchncs.de avatar

@jon @casblaauw @alard42 @seatsixtyone Ah, yes, sorry. Interestingly, they are also allowed to go via Pontarlier, Vallorbe, and Ventimiglia.

@jon @casblaauw @alard42 @seatsixtyone You are right: Trenitalia France is just a new name for Thello. That’s cheating!

Are there other German words than Duisburg where “ui” is pronounced as ü? (Come to think of it, that is not a very common letter pair in German, is it?)

partim,
@partim@social.tchncs.de avatar

@tml It’s not a diphthong in standard orthography, so if it exists, it would be pronounced as two consecutive vowels. The only thing I can think of now is an exclamation of minor surprise – “Ui!”

More problematic is “oi”’which you’d want to pronounce as “eu” but it is actually a long o in western Germany. So, Troisdorf is “Trohsdorf” not “Treusdorf.” Good test for the geography knowledge of a train manager.

Does one need to see “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” before seeing the new one? I'm hearing such good reviews for the new one that I want to see it, but am willing to watch the previous one if needed first.

@paulehoffman Apparently: yes.

@tml @kupfers The one in Saarbrücken is rather quite new – it’s still a construction site on Google Maps.
