GOP: still fighting against the 21st century. It’s an embarrassment that the US has less than Morocco or Turkey. Yes, you read that right — we’re behind even Morocco and Turkey in moving people efficiently and the wants to keep it that way

On a train from Bendigo back to the metrop. Is this the most Aussie railway station name? #Train #Trains

@timrichards Not sure if Skippy bought an apartment or is roadkill.

@allrite To use two Victorian station names: Kangaroo Flat comes after Hoppers Crossing.

A worker figured out how to send thousands of gallons of drinking by rail from Mississippi to the Navajo Nation to alleviate the water crisis. https://www.businessinsider.com/railroad-worker-delivers-water-by-rail-navajo-nation-water-crisis-2024-5

Another V/Line train trip today. I'm heading to Bendigo to have lunch with my brother. As you do. A bit easier now that the country train fares in Victoria Victoria have been capped at $10.60 per day.

@jamesbannan Just rock up. Same transport card (Myki) as used in Melbourne. Though once you get beyond 2 hours (or so) from Melbourne there are long-distance trains you need to buy a ticket for.

Snacks aboard a TGV Lyria train from Zürich to Paris, photographed by me on this date in 2019. You can't escape those paprika-flavoured chips anywhere in Central Europe!

@necrosis Yes, I went to Kew Gardens in London not that long ago. Actually, this time, we didn't enter them as we went to a couple of museums instead. More photos coming up.

Today in print in The Sunday Age and Sun-Herald - I write a section about new and upcoming rail experiences in the 'Next Great Journeys' special supplement. Includes trains in Italy, Australia, Norway, Japan and Laos.

Buy a copy in print today; I'll share the online version if/when it appears later.

London Paddington Station

I did a cross EU/UK trip in May of 2022. Was taken aback by the sheer size and number of tracks at this station.

First of a series of photos I'll be posting occasionally!

🚂 Face au changement climatique, le #train est notre meilleur allié. Chez Équinoxe nous défendons ce mode de transport et son financement à travers une taxe européenne sur le kérosène.

Jusqu’aux élections, nous vous présentons deux fois par semaine une de nos mesures phares. C’est aujourd’hui au tour de la deuxième : développer massivement le #ferroviaire et le rendre plus accessible que l’avion.

Article détaillé : https://parti-equinoxe.fr/train-ferroviaire-investir-europeennes-2024/

➡️ Le 9 juin, je vote pour l’écologie pratique et le renouveau démocratique !

Afin de pouvoir continuer de nous déplacer et de découvrir le monde dans une #Europe faible émettrice en CO2, nous disposons d'un atout de taille : le #train. Pour cela, nous proposons de développer massivement le #ferroviaire, et de le rendre plus accessible que l'avion.

🌓 ASPIRATIONS

  • Le train devrait être une solution plus accessible financièrement que l'avion ou la voiture, avec une offre à la hauteur des besoins (voyageurs et ).

  • Le réseau ferroviaire devrait être moderne, harmonisé entre les 27 États membres, bien maillé, résilient et adapté au changement climatique.

  • Il devrait être possible de poursuivre son voyage en train grâce à des offres complémentaires de transport en commun et grâce à une bonne intermodalité avec l'usage du .

  • La compétitivité entre les modes devrait tenir compte des externalités négatives engendrées par chacun d'entre eux (bruit, émissions, impact sur la biodiversité).

Crazy morning. Had to take a car to amtrak this morning; there was an accident just before we got to the bridge which added ~45 minutes and I almost missed my 🚂 !

I was wearing my SF City FC scarf and my driver was very excited by it. We started chatting ⚽️, luckily he was from Oakland and knew all the shortcuts, so I got to the station about three minutes after the train and boarded it with a couple of minutes to spare!

I've been an SF City FC supporter for years and every scarf is a great but I think this year may be my favorite.

New #VIARail #Train service between #Ottawa and #Toronto begins next Monday, May 27.

Train 641 will depart Ottawa from Mondays to Thursdays at 4:19AM, and arrive in Toronto 8:48AM, with express service stops in Brockville, Kingston, Belleville, Cobourg, and Port Hope. Perfect for business commuters that need to make a 9AM meeting in The Big Smoke and a great alternative to the short-haul flight.

Also, Train 644 TRTO -> OTTW will run daily! See full release here:

@allen I'm sitting here trying to think how much money someone would have to give me to catch a 4:19am train. It's a big number.

Glad they'll displace some flights though! Just wish we could get proper high-speed rail in place someday.
