Slavicist, but I work on trains. With my inside knowledge I guide travellers roaming Europe by rail.

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?

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!

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".
Bonjour @SergeiGautier @regiongrandest
Aucun usager n’a demandé la résa obligatoire. Cela ne va que réduire les places à bord des trains: avoir à se garantir un accès à bord pour aller bosser sera une vraie source de stress.
POURQUOI ?
Quelle honte.

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 💌
Hab gerade mit der DB Navigator-App rumgespielt und festgestellt, dass mir bei einer längeren Umsteigezeit ein Coupon für BurgerKing angeboten wird. Scheint neu zu sein.
Tolle Idee!
ALT Screenshot aus der App. Eine Verbindung mit 58 Minuten Umsteigezeit. Ein grüner Coupon von Burger King über 0,99€ Rabatt wird angezeigt. Text: Hungrig? 58min Umsteigezeit - Optimal für einen Snack bei BurgerKing!

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 🥳🚗

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!
