Starting from 15 June, some Eurostar Blue E320 trains are operating as Eurostar Red services from Amsterdam to Brussels or even Paris, but only in one direction. This is done to prevent running empty trains between Amsterdam and Brussels with the closure of the Eurostar Terminal in Amsterdam.
#Welkenraedt, Belgium 🇧🇪, in May 2006. A picture taken before the opening of the high-speed line between #Liège and #Aachen 🇩🇪: this is why we see a Cologne-bound #Thalys passing through the station. To the right: two #SNCB#NMBS class AM 62 “classic”trainsets built in the 1960s.
Wieder auf ans #LGVKursbuch. Die nervigen Winter-TGVs sind durch, die OUIGO-Züge ebenfalls aufdatiert.
Dann noch der "Bonus"-Teil. OUIGO Trains Classiques und Nachtzüge. Bin gespannt, wie viel Zeit diese in Angriff nehmen werden…
@vicgrinberg I really like it. Their logo is inspired by the Northern Star, the font is specially made for them.
I like it better than the older #Eurostar logos and ... it hurts me to say this, but better than the #Thalys logo (which I always thought of as a badly drawn lady doing pushups in a wind tunnel)

Arriving recently with a delayed #Thalys, we beat by wide our #GareDuNord > #GareDeLyon record : 18 min from incoming train to hall 3, with luggage, thanks to an access to #RER station right in front of our carriage door. That should have been just in time for the following train but... we could never find the platform, as they stop mentioning it 2 min before departure.
How long will USB-C be the most common & standard connector for consumer electronics? (there can be updates to voltage and protocols, but it must be backwards compatible to what we have now)
At 3h 15min from #Cologne to #Paris, it's faster than flying considering the #SecurityTheater and the need to catch connecting trains of we compare Statio-to-Station.
In fact, even if I were able to race at 250+ km/h up until the french border if not straight to Paris, it would not be possible to even keep up.
London > Brüssel per Zug von #Eurostar mit 60 Minuten Verspätung wegen technischem Defekt.
Weiterfahrt Brüssel > Köln mit #DB war nicht möglich, da Zug nicht fuhr.
Also weiter mit dem #Thalys. Der tuckert aktuell mit ca. 30 km/h und ständigen Stops durch Belgien.
Ankunftszeit in Köln ungewiss 🤷♂️
Es ist manchmal echt hart umweltfreundlich zu reisen 🙁
