Thread. Working special train today for Ukrainian evacuees. It is the second day of my second tour. Fate has aligned my job (train manager) with my education (I studied Russian and Ukrainian). Off we go, empty, to Frankfurt on the Oder to pick up the Ukrainians.

Stop doom-scrolling and read this instead from @EuropeByRail. Some of my stops in this vein have been: Szolnok, Hungary Tarnów, Poland Užhorod, Ukraine Ruse, Bulgaria Cividale, Italy Görlitz, Germany What small towns have you stayed one night in? https://t.co/OUIFMLG1o2

Yesterday, half the night train bubble, experts and activists came to our “launch” party where we showed off several generations of our full scale models that we’ve been using to develop our night train pods and run extended tests. We’re super excited for the next steps!

La correspondance sur un autre quai en 2/3 mn est impossible. Dans cet exemple, elle a été réalisée par des cascadeurs expérimentés. Ne reproduisez ceci que si vous vous en sentez capable. @ polo_le_p

Welcome onboard the new #EspressoCadore by @fsitaliane « Treni Turistici Italiani » 🇮🇹🚆 Private sleeping car compartment for the night, full dining car, this is going to be fun ride 🤩

Euro 2024 has started. For all those new to German trains, here are my 21 rules for surviving German trains! https://t.co/E687eGsI8h

Winterberg's Last Journey Trains, love and the beautiful landscape of battlefields, cemeteries and ruins We have launched a Kickstarter campaign for our book: Advance copies, limited edition bonus titles and many other goodies are available to backers starting just now!

Doing my bit to save waste. Buying this vintage USSR set on eBay was cheaper than a plastic ReCup. Funny how the communist bloc was way ahead of the West when it came to recycling and preventing waste.

#beerontrains! Train: ICE1021, drifting through the Ruhr area, slightly off course due to a signal failure. Beer: Flensburger Pilsener in a tin, at a sweet 12°C.

I think it is time to start calling obligatory reservations "le vice français".

Day starts with coffee, butter pretzel and the right bank of the Rhine between Koblenz and Bonn. @DB_Bahn making it happen, bless them😍

April, April! How it started… Vor ein paar Wochen fragte ich @_aufgegleist, wie er einen Aprilscherz mit Werbung im DB Navigator fände. Wir fanden: gut, und so waren gestern insgesamt 8 (scheinbare) Partnerangebote in euren Timelines. 1/2

An alle die verzweifelt ihren Navigator updaten und keine Gutscheine bekommen: Skill issue und definitiv KEIN Aprilscherz!! Ich habe nämlich gerade einen TINDER Gutschein erhalten 😂 Danke @DB_Bahn 💌

Interessant - jetzt betreibt @DB_Bahn sogar Upselling im Navigator. Allerdings finde ich 15€ für den Besuch in der DB Premium Lounge echt angemessen. Interessantes Update - prost!

Just downloaded the latest version of @DB_Bahn Navigator App and look at this folks! When there’s no trains, the app remind you that you can rent a car with Sixt for a seamless journey 🥳🚗

A new innovation from DB : if your train is delayed and you miss your connection, the app now offers you an Uber to finish your trip. Nice!

Sehe das heute zum ersten Mal, finde es aber ziemlich nice: für meinen (selbst geplanten) längeren Umstieg in Köln gibts einen Coupon für Call a Bike im Navigator. Ziemlich edle Werbefläche, da könnte man viel draus machen!

DB Navigator now helping recruit staff, it seems.
