Braid in trains :lesbian_uz: - solidarity with :streik:

Maybe I just spent the entire day doing a weird thing, buuuut :

I wrote detailed API documentation on most of the public APIs of the :uz: Ukrzaliznytsia online timetable along with a detailed implementation guide to actually write down the code I for gathering real schedule data from Ukraine […]

* yells at proprietary APIs and broken HAFAS

When European legislation for public transport schedule data ?!?!?

It can't be state of 2026 that I need to check schedules of 5 different companies because they refuse to share the public information of their timetables in a machine-readible format […]

Updated the zug.network :elron: Elron emoji to the post-2018 logo, you can find the old one at :elron_old: "elron_old".

@transitous I'm wondering about the GTFS feed used for ELRON. According to your sources page, you make use of a 3rd party GTFS file which contains the bug above. ELRON seems to provide the correct GTFS data via peatus.ee. Have people already tried using that data from the primary source at the […]

Screenshot of DB Navigator. A train schedule from Tapa (11:21) to Valga (13:58).

Screenshot of the Elron website showing the first train from Narva to Tapa. Unlike at DB, the arrival time in Tapa is 11:17, so five minutes earlier.

Good : :elron: Elron finally submits their schedule data of domestic trains to european schedule data available in DB Navigator or Rail Planner.
Bad : They're not submitting arrival times but only departure times so that all the perfectly aligned transfers in […]

Screenshot of the Elron website with a box saying "Would you like to rent a train?" as a commercial offer for companies and huge travel groups.

:elron: Can I haz 🥺👉👈 ?

@jon Oh, didn't kbow. They're by far one of my favorite locos but mostly because :cfr: have amazing liveries.

@jon Oh, a cute phaenix loco. Didn't know they run in Russian Serbia as well.

TIL : The :pkpic: mobile app finally supports buying seasonal ticket and rail pass reservations. I thought that was only possible on their website.

#Interrail #CrossBorderRail

@tops I'm sure I'll be able to find a vessle.

@tops Oh, I'm also considering the same route for Tram WM. Let's connect on our routing 👀 ...

Did you ever wonder how much it is to travel around the globe from Europe to Asia ? Are you curious how prices vary by country when traveling first, second or saver class ?

I made a long post explaining how much it is to travel my #FOSSRail trip […]

[Good to read long post, money, emissions and long distance travels]

Are you wondering how much it is to travel from Thailand to France by train ?

Okay, here we are. Let's first check the flights for reference. I'm traveling first and deluxe class with single compartments only, that's […]

@ZERreisen OMG, ich muss auf meinem Rueckweg in den Laden. Wo ist der ?

@vorortanleiter (Checked OeBB, CD and PKPIC, all the same result.)

@vorortanleiter Do you know why the Chopin cannot be bough on March 26th ? I doubt it's booked up, is it ?

[train tickets, money]

Now spent 55,000 RUB on my train tickets back home. Yes, that's a lot. But it's mostly first class, with comfy sleeper spaces and a flight ticket from China to Estonia won't be less than 600 EUR neither.

Wait a second, the :rzd: 009Н from Volodyvostok to Moskva carries SL carriages again ? I thought SL vanished away in Siberia years ago and only Kupe carriages left 👀 ?

That's interesting, in that case I might take the 009Н directly from Irkutsk to Moskva rather than changing in Ekaterinburg to […]

Screenshot of my travel route. It literally spans half the globe from Bangkok, a straight line up to Siberia, then a line to European Russia and via the Baltic's and Austria back to France.

New preliminary #FOSSRail route home planned.

Changes :

- Use Minzhouli border crossing between China and Russia rather than Ulaanbaatar
- Avoid getting Deutsche Bahned and travel via EuroNight rather than nightjet
- Now 19.000 km on trains by schedule

@viaduct_world I'm having issues logging in to my account right now. Is there any problem occurring on your side or is it me who's wrong ?

Why am I that early ? My bus is only leaving in like 45 minutes and now I'm stuck waiting in the middle of nowhere.

:cr: sleeper booking noises ...

I got :

- One New Soft Sleeper, a high-speed train with berths inside
- One Superior Soft Sleeper, a classic train with private sleeper compartments
- One Soft Sleeper, the regular sleeper carriages

Thereby all Chinese trains covered (apart from the :lcr: one […]

@ZERreisen Die eigentliche Frage lautet : Huch, was macht ihr denn schon wieder in Hong Kong ?

The feminine urge to get a :db: DB Vollizenz ,,,,,,

Also "bundle up multiple train tickets and still guarantee passenger rights" is GOOD ENOUGH for everyone

It is SIMPLE ENOUGH for an occasional passenger who wants a simple booking procedure, and is sure they will not be left out of pocket

Is FLEXIBLE ENOUGH for regular passengers, who might […]

Me : Pays fine because she lost her ticket.

Five minutes later : Ah, there's my ticket.

@jon Do you know the reasons behind this ? Couldn't that speed up the Kyiv-Express by like 2 hours considering Chelm has SUW 2000 installed ? Is it a lack of boogies, of approval or what ? And are there any efforts to install SUW 2000 in Chop looking how many trains go there ? Does an RIC […]

Btw. @jon is there any SUW 2000 VGA train operating these days or are all remaining trains connecting to Soviet gauge boogie exchanged ? What's the reason for it ? Wouldn't e.g. Chop highly profit from VGA trains considering how much traffic it got nowadays ? What's blocking it ?

I mean […]

TIL : The ФПК (Federal Passenger Company) of the :rzd: have pretty much :oebb: DANI style Платскартнь carriages with their new designs from 2019 ...

I just wish the Ukrainians were ordering more new carriages especially with RIC […]

Notably the full opposite of :srt: 1st class sleeper which is an absolutely amazing experience ...
