@seatsixtyone.bsky.social I’ve been researching my annual trip to Slovenia and getting this when looking at the Stuttgart to Zagreb sleeper It says “local trains” but my experience of the last 2 years is of night time repairs affecting the sleeper Any info/advice? Huge thanks for all you do!

Really useful I’ve found. Selected the papers/reports and it’s produced effective summaries in various formats. Even got it to summarise a lecture I gave from the YouTube transcript saved me hours of work. The podcast output is good too.

Venice & Trieste to Lake Bled by train - the cheap & easy way How to travel by train from Venice or Trieste to beautiful Lake Bled in Slovenia, avoiding long cramped bus journeys.

If you do @seatsixtyone.bluesky.social has a interesting way of getting from Bled to Venice that I have done Though it wasn’t 100% successful on that occasion as a flooded tunnel meant a rail replacement bus that had to go over the mountain rather than under it! www.seat61.com/trains-and-r...

Agree not good and something I avoid and try and teach others to avoid I wonder will ambient AI taking the notes resolve this?
