On the rails again... #Interrail #CrossBorderRail Today, @wendy@mendeddrum.org and I are going to Karlsruhe, for a relaxing side quest, and then ultimately to Weil am Rhein via Basel SBB Today’s (Approximate, I’m still not sure on the timing of the second train) Itinerary: https://moof.space/trip/2026-10-05 And, finally! An ICE! Having been denied my ICE 3 Velaro on Saturday, I’m taking two of them today. This one is an ICE 4, and there may be an ICE 3 (403) later.

Might be of interest to some of you... 🚅 #Interrail has 15% to 50% discount until 30 September. The passes are valid for 11 months. It came handy for me just now as I'll need to travel Brest-Prague-Brest this autumn but I'm not yet sure exactly when. Great opportunity for some exploring on the way. About the discount: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260924726921/en/Interrail-Invites-Travelers-to-Experience-The-Interrail-Effect-with-50-Off-Passes or https://parissecret.com/en/interrail-promotion/ Detailed explanation: https://www.seat61.com/how-to-use-an-interrail-pass.htm Interrail: https://www.interrail.com/en #Rail #Trains #CrossBorderRail

How about this #Interrail challenge: Using only Interrail, and one pass (thus max 3 months of time), and only trains, travel to stations at the edge of the accessible railway network so that the convex hull of the stations is maximally large. (I wouldn't bother trying to minimise the time taken, but that could be a separate task, to also do it as quickly as possible. The main criteria for comparing two trips is the area, though.) To make the task a bit easier, restrict it to trips that can be done without mandatory reservations. Thus leaving the UK, much of the Iberian peninsula, and Turkey out. Likely also Bulgaria and Romania. (But then most night trains are also out, and long regional train journeys will be slow. Ireland is out because you need a ferry. Sicily is out because only IC trains go on the train ferries.) To calculate the area, use the WGS-84 ellipsoid. Use the gepgrahiclib Python library.

Guten Morgen aus #Klagenfurt! Heute wieder #Bahnzeit, der letzte #interrail-Tag von 7. Wir nehmen nicht diesen ICE der #DeutschenBahn, sondern warten auf den verspäteten Railjet der #ÖBB auf Gleis 4… So haben wir nur einen Umstieg in #Wien. Drückt uns die Daumen, dass die Verspätung nicht größer wird.

Jag fick hela biljettpriset (platsreservationen) tillbaka från #SJ för förseningen som danskarna orsakat 👍️ Jag har bara rätt till 50%. I kombination med förväntad ersättning från #interrail (€24) och extra kompensation från SJ för det psykiska lidandet att vakna i Danmark så gick jag plus på den etappen.

Seit vier Monaten stelle ich GDPR Anfragen an Eurail/Interrail, nachdem diese meine Daten an Cyberkriminelle verloren haben - bisher erfolglos. Die geben meine Daten an Kriminelle, aber nicht an mich. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Habe gerade festgestellt, dass ich seit Jahren einen monothematischen Austausch mit diesem Laden betreibe: 2023 ging es um Sicherheitslücken beim Deutsch-Französischen Frendschaftspass. Schon damals habe ich keine zufriedenstellenden Antworten bekommen. So ein Saftladen. #interrail #cybersecurity

Sidste stop på #interrail Summer 2026: Køln. Tjekkede lige udsigten fra 10. sal, vi har værelse på 5.

I like trains. https://youtu.be/HIgjFau47fc?si=Prh02BzJbeHHdZAF #trains #transport #EU #rail #europeanTrains #Interrail #DisoverEU #ILikeTrains #railTravel

Time for #interrail. I arrived a bit early for the 7:19 to Malmö from my home town main station. There will be quite a few hops until I arrive in Edinburgh on the Caledonian sleeper Thursday morning. It turned out I had failed to buy a seat reservation through Denmark so there will be 3 extra stops now adding up to 9 in total. Switching trains seems to bother many people when I tell them about my travels. I don't really mind. More fun than just sitting in the same train for hours.

I see that it’s still possible to get a paper #Interrail pass. Has anyone tried using one lately? How easy was it to travel with a paper pass? What problems did you encounter? @interrailinfosvenska@mastodonsweden.se @jon@gruene.social @partim@social.tchncs.de @seatsixtyone@mas.to

As someone who travels with #SJ mostly using #Interrail, maybe ten time per year or so, is joining their SJ Prio programme of any use to me?

On the rails again… #Interrail #CrossBorderRail Today @wendy@mendeddrum.org and I are on the well-trodden (sat?) path to home in Barcelona from Karlsruhe. Today’s itinerary: https://moof.space/trips/2026-07-22 I have taken this trip a number of times now, and it’s always bittersweet. Especially the days I leave @darkphoenix@not.an.evilcyberhacker.net behind and continue on my own. That being said, once I’ve made my 17 minute change in Strasbourg, it’s smooth sailing. A trip to Lyon, time for lunch, and then the long, comfortable ride in the AVE direct to Barcelona. This has become if not a second home, at least a gentle way to tell my brain that I can switch off travel mode and get ready for being home again. I am always a bit nervous for this Strasbourg change, as a 10 minute delay for this train makes the change of platform very complicated. I was watching the ICE from Stuttgart, that supposedly leaves half an hour before this one, in case it was the better option, but it’s currently at +61. So I picked the right train. Allons-y!

En kort sammanfattning, längre kommer på trainfo.eu #interrail #tågluff #traintravel

#interrail Holland set fra togvinduet, mellem Gouda og Utrecht

Smidigt byte i Malmö till extratåg. Sovvagnsresenärer får åka i 1 kl. De som skall med nattåget norrut från Stockholm vid 18 får åka snabbtåg. Visar att de som reser med #interrail behöver vara proaktiva och prata med personalen som kanske bara känner till den aktuella sträckan. Bistron är inte öppen än för de har inte hunnit förbereda. Fast detta tågbyte var känt redan igår kväll. Men schemaläggningen kanske havererat när det blir 7-8 timmar försening.

På rull mot Sverige #rdc #interrail #tågluff #traintravel

Dags att knyta ihop säcken. Är i väldigt god tid vid Berlin-Lichtenberg för nattåget till Stockholm. SJ:s info är lika undermålig som alltid när det gäller Euronight. Det går tidigare! Nej! Kanske senare! Lite olika info på olika SJ-ställen. Passar på att äta med krokodil-sällskap. #interrail #tågluff #traintravel

Kollar väderprognosen, gör om min #interrail biljett och åker med till Frankfurt (Oder). Blir byten med S-Bahn i Berlin men det funkar

Fördelen med Interrail är att man kan ändra sina planer enkelt. Det är också nackdelen 😅 Bytte tillbaka till ursprungliga planen, åker nu eltåg. Vägen via Frankfurt visade sig ha Ersatzbus. #interrail #tågluff #traintravel
