Damn, there's always some new #CrossBorderRail headache... 😡
New timetable for 2026 means a better connection from Berlin to Nuits-sous-Ravières
Or so I thought
07:06 Berlin-Strasbourg 12:51 on ICE 9590
13:05 Strasbourg-Dijon 15:11 on TGV 9879
15:35 Dijon-Nuits 16:21 on TER 17760
DB shows this to me:
🎉 Some important #CrossBorderRail news! 🎉
After thinking about the idea for more than a decade (yeah, this is later than a DB train!) I am finally starting to plan building a railway organisation for lobbying work, and @patrick @partim & @redjives are in from the start. We're sort of soft launching today

Sonne in #Heidelberg, Nebel in #Darmstadt. Irgendwo dahinter ist das #ESA Kontrollzentrum #ESOC, von wo aus auch #ESAEuclid betrieben wird. Morgen bin ich dann bei ESAs Technikzentrum #ESTEC in Noordwijk und wenn alles gut geht, kommende Woche zumindest in der Nähe vom ESA Hauptquartier ( #Paris) und eine Woche später beim ESA-Wissenschaftszentrum # #ESAC bei #Madrid.
Per #Zug.
Ok, credit where it's due
On my last Interrail trip I had two hefty delays - 122 mins Paris to Marktredwitz, and over 400 mins Hegyeshalom to Sighisoara
And Eurail BV (the company behind Interrail) has processed the delay compensation within 15 mins
Amazing 🎉
This looks more interesting that the Commission's high speed plan actually! #CrossBorderRail https://mendeddrum.org/@patrick/115496296421339921

Further impressions :
Second class is literally as comfortable as first class, that's an amazing to pgrade compared to the previous IC 1 carriages. The only difference is slightly more space, a cup holder and a foot rest. The seats both in first and in second class are very comfortable.
The offer in the bistro is *very* limited but maybe that's going to still change. There's just coffee, sweets and some crackers.
The bicycle area is much more flexible than in most other high-speed trains : There are both bicycle mounts as well as just broad space to just pile up the bicycles. That should make one or two bicycles more than planned much easier.
The train is level boarding in Germany but somehow DSB managed to order them at a platform height different than in Denmark. That's a bit weird.
At 200 kph, you feel a very constant, soft vibration. The ride is smoother than a TGV but less smooth than a railjet at the same speed.
In good old 
manner : We arrived half an hour late in Hamburg.
I absolutely enjoyed the first #DSBTalgo ride and I'm looking forwards to traveling onboard again 🎉 !
I love the interior 🥰🥰🥰. #DSBTalgo

Traveling by night train is a unique experience. How much so ever you are used to long-distance sleeper journeys, each and every morning leaving a night train in the early morning feels magic.
You wake up, half of your train still sleeping. Pale light from the reading lights in the other compartments. Nothing but the gentle noise from the wheel sets on the tracks and switches. You leave the train, see sleepy faces, families lifting their luggage from the old voyage wagons. Train attendants assisting, some business managers with trolley suitcases. Everyone silently walking towards the main hall of a dark station, all share in common they arrived from a night train from abroad for different purposes.
It's a magic experience. This is the true kind of travels I love.
Good morning Scandinavia !
