Tariff systems so clear that they laminated posters explaining it!

An Infrabel bottleneck map? How long have I been looking for that without finding it? Finally my thoughts are confirmed!

Ok, who at NS dispatching put an TRAXX+ICR sandwich in the Intercity Direct Breda - Amersfoort Schothorst?

:ns_nl_b: is switching to dark mode! At the end of October, all station screens will switch over from day mode to dark mode permanently, creating an instant 5% energy savings with them. Long article in Dutch […]

Ha! I just came across the Albert Heijn store manager, and decided to ask if he had a couple of minutes to show her my annoyances with the store. So, we did a quick walk through the store, she was making notes and taking pictures of everything I complained about, so maybe some things are […]

22 september. The shopping mall is hanging the Christmas decorations.

[NLpol] Zo langzamerhand doe de politieke campagne mij wel weer aan 2018 terugdenken...

[Food mention] I did found food in the supermarket that is too spicy for me 🥵 Buldak Hot Chicken flavour noodles stew. I needed some spoons of Danio to chill down the spice 😶

Train service to Corbigny is now suspended until 6 October. I somehow don’t expect the trains to return to Corbigny anymore…

A week from now, I will probably have done my last trip in ICR carriages ever. So, maybe this week is a good moment to say goodbye to a train that felt like a second living room. Today: my train home became a riding cinema.

I did think the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse region of Belgium looked weird on OpenStreetMap. Yeah, that's until I noticed today the land use hasn't yet been drawn in for most of the agricultural lands in that region. That makes the map white instead of light green...

Note to self: Buy a new Standard Multi when I’m in Belgium next week :neocat_woozy:

Er is dus een pagina op Teletekst die *exact lijkt* op de pagina met verstoringsinformatie van NS, maar dan totale onzin produceert. Waarom? Geen idee!

EuroCity Rotterdam - Bru-Zuid/Midi doesn't stop at Brussels Airport-Zaventem this weekend. How did they fix this? Easy, a stop of 12 minutes at Bru-Noord/Nord 🙃

[Gay coffee?] And those people in Australia like: Gaye in Indonesia sounds like gay, let’s put a rainbow on it?

Hmm, maybe doing a fun trip with the :sncb: Mobility Ticket tomorrow :blobcatlul:

"The second type leased from Akiem is the French Astride locomotive, designated Class 490 in Hungary. MÁV signed for 15 of these units, again without maintenance included. Akiem established its own service base in Hungary to look after this unique type, as it is unlikely MÁV would handle their […]

I am utterly confused by this article about a judge fining :gvb_amsterdam: GVB about a passenger in a wheelchair too often not being capable of using tram line 25. How is it possible that you buy low-floor trams on a completely renovated tram, and wheelchairs can only use those trams with a […]

"In een zaal voorzien voor 34 personen, worden er degustaties en kleine schotels op de manier toen met regionale produkten of suggesties van de chef volgens de seizoenen voorgesteld." Wel een zeer pompeuze manier om je frituur te omschrijven...

From Tuesday to Thursday I did 75 km of the #GrandWalTour, from Beaumont to Frasnes-lez-Couvin, in the Entre-Sambre-et-Meuse region south of Charleroi. First important thing these three days was the village of Barbençon, one of the most beautiful villages of […] [Original post on zug.network]

[Food] Enjoying probably my last outdoor ice cream of the year. Also, they have a black androgyn flavour I cannot comprehend?

Café De Wilde Mossel. Wie verzint die namen??

We do live in capitalist times. A tram completely covered in promotion for Sumup card payment terminals just passed me :neocat_confused:

Hmm, I don't like planning for 28,6 km long hikes, but if this is the gradient map for the last 9,6 km then maybe it is doable?

It is really impeccable timing that just before a weekend without IC Amsterdam - Berlin begins, a coal train derailed in Emmerich blocking the line for probably the whole weekend :blobcatthisisfine:

Oh no, a Belgian city will be European Capital of Culture again in 2030. Which city is going to build a new train station for that occasion?

@jon it’s almost a wonder you survived the ride from Nürnberg earlier this week: https://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/bahn-hersbruck-pegnitz-sperre-li.3314633

Can be me, but an hourly bus service with first depart at 4:47 and the last depart at 16:47 is uh, maybe due for a little time shifting 🤔

The art of drawing maps is a lost case, isn't it?

Waarom heeft de Bibliotheek Utrecht reclameposters in Rotterdam 🤨

🇳🇱 Belangrijk: De OVpay-app heeft de beveiliging aangepast. Je moet voor 7 november een nieuw wachtwoord instellen, anders wordt je account met opgeslagen betaalpassen verwijderd. 🇮🇪 Important: the OVpay app got a security update. You need to set a new password before 7 November, otherwise your […]

What kind of statistics are this? "SNCB plans this year to check 40% more passengers on their tickets than last year" You can make this an endless growing statistic by checking all passenger's tickets after each stop 😶

Apparently there is a train on fire on the high speed line south of Rotterdam. Is this a new thing, burning trains on the high speed line :blobcatgooglynotlikethis:

Something is telling me this train is going to be cancelled in Breda…

Had a discussion with a Belgian lady traveling from Brussels Airport to Hamont. We agreed: Dutch trains are on time but expensive, while Belgian trains are late but cheap. And it’s nice to be on time, but if you have to sell your firstborn child in order to pay for the ticket, there is something […]

There is a strange silence around the NS S5G :blobcatthinkingglare:

OH “I won’t make it a mystery where this train is going, we are going to Rotterdam Centraal!” This can only end badly…

A train with HLE13+I11+M7+M6. Is the :sncb: intern active again :neocat_confused:

Done! It was quite the hike, pictures at a later moment. Now recharging my phone in the express bus on the crème de la crap of Walloon roads :neocat_woozy:

Oh, and I want to write that I am very happy with :tec: at the moment. The village where I’m hiking towards tomorrow, suddenly went from five buses a day to Charleroi to an almost hourly express service to Namur!

Albert Heijn (😒) will open a 1250 square meter store next to Rotterdam Centraal in the Groothandelsgebouw, of which 250 m2 will be a very large AH to Go and the other 1000 m2 a basement with the normal groceries. Completely selfscan, including cash.

The only person on the bivouac spot, that seems nice :blobcatcoffee: Tent completely setup, time to cook.

Today’s autocorrect mystery word: Romancyclus No idea why this is more important then romantic.

About 2 km left to go to the bivouac area, but my watch needs some recharging. So enjoying a #pauzebankje with an amazing view.

OH: "Wenn die hier in Duisburg so weitermachen ist Hannover bald der hässlichste Bahnhof Deutschlands."

Rbus, we’ve meet again.

Good morning! Time for coffee ☕️

@deluisa You are right, LETEC does have a new logo, see the website www.letec.be

The minicamping in Cerfontaine didn’t respond on my mail I sent this morning, and turned out to be empty. So, did about 9 km extra (of which 3 km off trail) to a bivouac spot in Froidchapelle. Tent is planted, dinner served. Time to hit the sleeping bag after this long day 😴
