On the year 2000, the city of Nancy🇫🇷 opened its TVR. The 1st ever "tram on rubber tires" seemed a promising new form of public transport In March 2023, the Nancy TVR, the last system of its kind, will be shut down This public transport "fail" well deserved a visit & thread📸🚎

Recently it was announced that, after decades of neglect, the Charleroi Metro is getting its 5th line built and trams renovated. A breeze of fresh air for a "metro" that seems frozen in the 80s. Let me show you some pics of Belgium's most bizarre public transport network 🚋🚇🇧🇪

"What if we'd make suburban trains look like trams & run them straight through the city?" Somebody in the 80s at the Karlsruhe transport planning department had this great idea, and so, the "Karlsruhe model" of tram-trains was born Here some 📸 of my short visit to Karlsruhe 🚋

Sure. No wifi, no dining car. Like all Belgian trains. But on the other hand, there are very few capital cities in the EU linked by a train running every single hour, every day, without reservations, and for really low fares (regular travelers can do the 3h trip for 12,7 €).

Luxembourg-Brussels train. Connecting two EU capitals. No wifi, no heating, no restaurant cars, not even a vending machine. 1 hour slower than driving, and stops at 10 towns in between with no express options.

Across the square and up we go! We start "low" at 429 meters above sea level. In roughly 1½ hours, we will be up at 2253 meters above sea level. The Bernina is the only alpine railway crossing that literally goes up to the top of the mountain pass, instead of using long tunnels

We reached the top! Lago Bianco! Rather than an hourly regional train, at this moment, at this point the trip feels as if it was a little bit of an adventure. Crossing the Alps at 2253 meters above sea level, and with roughly -15°C outside. And yet, we're running spot on time.

Bernina Pass IV Another crossing. The line is single track but efficient timetabling and frequent passing bays, allow for high capacity. Remember, this may be a super scenic railway, but it's not a tourist attraction in itself. It's a normal railway running hourly services.

At Campocologno station we officially enter the quadrilingual country with a name in Latin, and obviously, no free roaming. Confoederatio Helvetica 🇨🇭 [And actually, I'll get to interact with 3 of the 4 languages of CH on this short journey 🤓]

@sim_palla I'm in no way sure about this, but I'd bet on two different private companies that just set up their stations relatively near. In the early days of railways there used to be 0 cooperation between companies, so this kind of "silly" situation was quite frequent.

La web permite visualizar en un mapa las conexiones ferroviarias directas desde cualquier ciudad Bilbao cuenta con 2 trenes diarios a Madrid y 1 a Barcelona Yo diría que en la UE no hay una ciudad más grande que Bilbao con peores conexiones ferroviarias

Bernina moments. The R train to St Moritz waits at Brusio station, as an early morning mixed (passenger/cargo) train enters the station and clears the line. #Bernina #RhB @rhaetischebahn

Retro trains & bizarre monorails 🇩🇪 On Sunday @ManelRiveraB and I went on a daytrip to Nordrhein-Westfalen, to ride on the retro replacement trains on lines RE11 & RB40. Of course once there, it would be rude not to visit Wuppertal 😄 Nerdy thread ahead in exotic NRW! 🚂🚋🚟🚇

Next stop, Leernes. A tram stop in the "finest" 70s brutalism style. A building that looks more like the abandoned filming set used for one of the early Star Wars films, rather than a tram stop in suburban Belgium.

Big thanks to the @fsitaliane staff at Trieste station which kept assisting everyone for several hours, patiently and always with a smile. And now let's hope that the fire is extinguished as soon as possible.

🚋 It's a grey Belgian summer Sunday and today I'm volunteering at the Brussels Tram Museum @musee_du_tram / @Tram_Museum , and I had thought about doing this for a while… Follow this thread as I live-tweet throughout the day, to see what we get to do as tram guards at the museum!

Yesterday, a group of rail activists gathered in Mons for a symbolic action. A funeral for the last SNCB international train from Mons 🇧🇪 into Aulnoye-Aymeries 🇲🇫 After 176 years, this Belgian city looses its international rail services into France. A #CrossBorderRail failure.

Just south of Pancorbo a rather sad sight The former Madrid-Paris #Elipsos (Renfe+SNCF) #TrenHotel are in a state of complete abandon While Europe is witnessing a #NightTrain comeback, Spain decides to abandon some high standard trains that were capable of crossing ES-FR border

Arrival at Grado shortly after 22:15 A big mass of people await to board the ferry to Trieste At least 7 empty buses are waiting to shuttle us to a wide range of destinations. At around 22:45 the buses start leaving Grado A huge effort from Trenitalia to leave no-one behind 👏

Across Europe by train 🚄🇪🇺 Today I'm traveling Brussels 🇧🇪 ➡️ 🇨🇿 Prague by train. Comfortable & cheap. City centre to city centre. No airport checks, no queues, no waiting for hours before your trip. And much more sustainable than a short-haul flight 💚

Un pueblo con 3 ex-alcaldes. Los 3 imputados. Los 3 del PNV. ¿La primera decisión del cuarto alcalde? (también del PNV): Subirse el sueldo. En Arrigorriaga, la primera medida de la nueva alcaldesa de @ehbildu , ha sido recortarse el sueldo. SÍ, hay distintos modelos de gobernar.
