Renfe has set out their alternative transport plan, including bus replacement for the 72 km between Villanueva de Córdoba and Córdoba, and between Madrid and Seville, Cádiz and Granada with additional services over the classical lines: www.renfe.com/es/es/grupo-...

As the high speed line is closed for the time being, there are currently only limited options to reach Andalucía by train The following trains still run, as they use the classical lines to Andalucía:

Nogal aangedaan door het ongeluk op de HSL tussen Madrid en Andalusië. Vandaag best veel gedacht aan de mensen in die treinen, en hun familie, vrienden en collega's

Morocco can be quite easily reached from Spain, but I'd never taken the trains there. So it was time to try them out, starting with the Al Boraq. This is their high speed service between Tanger and Casablanca. These TGV Euroduplex feel very familiar: they're very similar to SNCF's.

Eurostar has a new (I think) option in their Snap booking platform: unallocated seats on their Paris-Brussels and Brussels-Amsterdam services. A bit more expensive than their Snap fares, but you do know the train you're assigned.

Montpellier's tram line 1 extension to Montpellier Sud de France was opened yesterday! france3-regions.franceinfo.fr/occitanie/he...

In the category unique railway stays, I can really recommend staying in Corrour's station house. Stayed there a night last week with @luish.bsky.social (most pictures are his)

Finally: double compositions on the Paris-Barcelona route

Works between Huesca and Canfranc are done! Trains are supposed to resume after staff route training is completed

Voor wie nog eens betaalbaar naar Engeland wil: Stena Line heeft tot 8 april een interessante aanbieding: enkele reis van Hoek van Holland naar Harwich voor slechts €17! www.stenaline.nl/speciale-aan...

I'm trying the Renfe S-106 to Asturias. This AVE goes all the way from Castelló to Gijón, passing through Valencia and Madrid, but I'm only taking it between Madrid and Oviedo

Buchungen für den Nightjet new Generation nach Amsterdam sind ab sofort möglich. Mit Sparschiene Ticket ist die Mini-Cabin ab € 94,90 auf der Prämierenfahrt von Innsbruck erhältlich.

Another step forward: @raileurope now offers Interrail & Eurail passholder reservations on Spanish Railways. No booking fee. If you've a 1st class pass they also sell the AVE Premium reservation where an extra €13.50 gets you a meal, wine, lounge access. www.seat61.com/interrail-an...

Einde van de Zon-Thalys is een trieste mijlpaal: vanuit Nederland geen treinen naar Frankrijk zuidelijker dan Parijs. Was ideaal voor een treinreis naar Spanje: in theorie kon je met één overstap in Valence TGV Barcelona bereiken (of eigenlijk leuker met overnachting in Marseille of Avignon)

Según mis informes y las.consultas recabadas en ADIF y Renfe no parece que vaya a ser así, para este verano me dicen, es cierto que no es oficial ni puedo asegurar al 100x100, que el tren llegará a Canfranc. Se está haciendo una obra histórica de más de 175 millones de inversión.

Train service between Huesca and Canfranc remains suspended for probably at least the next 12 months. Upgrade works should have finished in May 2024, but bus replacement was extended sine die

Ik had nog één interrail-reisdag over, dus ga met een omweg richting Brussel. Mijn eerste keer met de drielandentrein naar Luik!

Good news: It seems that the reopening of the "Tranvia di Opicina" between Trieste and Opicina seems to finally go ahead! Limited operations are starting from 1st of February, with more services planned to be introduced later in February. Source: www.triestetrasporti.it/it/trenovia-...

Wisten jullie dat België (4%) en Frankrijk (2%) aandelen in de Luxemburgse spoorwegen CFL hebben?

Iryo will accept Interrail/Eurail passes from April 1st onwards, in their Singular (2-2 seating) and Singular Only You (2-1 seating) classes, with reservations costing about the same as on Renfe's services. community.eurail.com/news-and-ann...

Vanochtend de Ouigo Brussel-Parijs genomen. Het was erg vroeg en druk, maar is vermoed ik een prima alternatief voor de bus (Zelf €16 betaald, aanzienlijk meer dan wat de mini-eiffeltorens hier kosten)

Gelukkig nieuw spoordienstregelingjaar! 🥳 In het bijzonder verheug ik me op de lagere tarieven van de EC Rotterdam-Brussel: Noorderkempen-Hazeldonk(Gr) gaat van €6,90 naar €3,90 (2e klas) // van €9,30 naar €5,10 (1e klas)
