Can anyone explain me why the :lcr: is only served by Dongche (second-tier high-speed EMU) trains across the border while Kuaisu (classic fast trains) trains operate on each side of the border domestically. Considering how many people use the Dongche trains and how poor most people are in Laos […]

Traveling from 🇹🇭 Bangkok to 🇫🇷 Alsace, day 3 :

I had a relaxed morning, good breakfast and arrived at the immigration checkpoint before the arrival of the passengers from 🇱🇦 Vientianne so that the passport check went smoothly without any queue.

After the border check in 🇱🇦 Vientianne Khamsavath railway station took 2 hours, I sadly missed my :lcr: train to 🇨🇳 Kunming - the last one of the day. Without train timetable, internet or language knowledge I decided to at least travel as far as still possible […]

🇱🇦 Laos, or as I call it : Difficult border crossing 🙃.

Not that anything could ever go wrong here but it's slow, chaotic and random. Always plan two hours of buffer. Train arrival at 9 a.m. and connecting train at 11.30 a.m. can end up in a speed run.

Outside of the railway station. Some scooters parking on a square with a huge Thai flag displayed. On the other side of the road, there's an old railway wagon displayed in a small museum-ish style.

Good morning Fedi 🌄 !

I had an excellent night and my :srt: sleeper arrived in 🇹🇭 Nong Khai on time.

Despite amenities on the train, I was too sleepy and my bed was too cuddly to motivate myself to have a shower before arriving.

Machine translation:

After two years of success, the tourist night connection will not be rescheduled in 2026 due to the unavailability of the operational conditions necessary for cross-border traffic.

@jon Do you know what happened to the restoration of the Rakhiv - Valea Viseului railway line that was celebrated with a :uz: DPKr-3 train running to Romania in 2022 ? Since then we haven't heard of any news about the planned #CrossBorderRail link across the Carphatics.

Also information provision on this line is ridiculous.

In Milano Lambrate, departing, I needed the Trenitalia app to check if the train was on time, but it could not tell me which order the train was running. The SBB app could tell me my carriage was at the front, but could not tell me if the […]

However there was some issue at Chiasso - we were held before the station, and departed 10 minutes late. I just got chatting to the train manager, and he even asked *me* what happened, because it was still the Italian crew where it happened. #CrossBorderRail

So the customs officials just walked through at Chiasso, and did not bother me. Schengen is working today 🙂 #CrossBorderRail
