I’m speaking shortly about 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!

@timrichards Not gleaned anything yet. But by Saturday i will know more

I’ve escaped the conference venue to do some admin over a coffee. A dude from the UK Embassy and another from German’s GIZ are meeting the female deputy mayor of Tirana on the neighbouring table. And while they’re not unfriendly they’re coming across as besserwissers…

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

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@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

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.
