@AccordionBruce @mekkaokereke @rst @jbqueru Honestly, there are aspects of *Australian* train networks that Americans can't believe.
And given how far behind Asia and Europe Australia generally is when it comes to trains, that's saying something.
For example, all of Australia's mainland capital cities are sprawled out metropolitan areas, yet have multiple electrified train lines to the edge of suburbia.
As in, the trains are generally electrified multiple units that run all day. As in, the worst lines run every 40 minutes on weekends.
That's considered *bad* by the rest of the world.
Yet there's a lot of Americans who can't even conceive of the idea that thry would catch a train to work from an outer suburb.
Seriously, most Americans have no idea how far behind the rest of their world their country is.
I had an argument on here a while ago who couldn't believe that Sydney had a metro line to its outer suburbs that was faster than driving.
And compared to Europe? Lithuania has a better train system than most of the US. And that's with a starting point of a run-down Soviet infrastructure under Russian occupation 35 years ago.

We’ve been talking about high speed rail in the obvious routes like Vancouver to Portland for decades

I honestly think the only possible way any of them will ever be built is after the ever expected 8.0+ regional earthquake, if there remains a significantly progressive government in power

Two ICE trains coupling at Vienna Central Station, filmed from one platform away. One person with a suitcase, on the platform where the train is at, is also watching this process.
How far can you go with public transport?
Here are the destinations you can reach by train/but in less than 3 hours from Bern.
Easy-to-use online tool. Have a try!
View from the train is pretty good. Shame there's no seats though.

Dutch view + breakfast + buying an intergalactic second-hand bike (I don’t even have a place to live yet LOOOL) + lunch with friends in #Rotterdam before the last couple of trains to #WHY2025
Photo of me holding a blue super cool and shiny bike, on the sidewalk of a street.
Selfie eating lunch in Zuidpaark (spelling is probably not correct, sorry)

With Hackers’ soundtrack playing in my headphones, I’m starting my journey to #WHY2025 🤟
This is also the first time I’m using an #Interrail ticket 👀
I will try to log the whole trip on Träwelling, via the nifty Träwelldroid.

Midnight train.
@fcayre TGV, il te faut une housse, à partir de 40€ chez D4. Pour les sacoches, tu en trouves à la location sur LBC. Tu as un porte-bagage ?

The second part of the backup series is getting really long and comprehensive. I'm wondering if it makes sense to break it into more parts, but my concern is that it might then lose focus. It's probably better to just have one long second part, broken down into sections.
@stefano
I would not break up an explanation into smaller sections, just to have it easily digestible. Focus & concentration is needed; sometimes we have to read whole books in one hit to understand a subject thoroughly
I've done that before and I'm doing a time and time again

Est-ce que des gens ici ont déjà utilisé un pass #interrail ? Je n'y comprends rien, j'aurais besoin d'aide.
Pour l'instant j'ai 2 questions :
peut-on acheter un interrail france quand on est français ? (je n'y arrive pas, la fRance n'est pas dans la liste des pays)
Et comment je peux savoir si le pass sera réellement intéressant pour mes trajets ? Je ne comprends pas comment savoir le prix de la réservation, une fois que j'ai acheté le pass...
