Germans
World masters at explaining to you in Besserwisser know it all detail why whatever you want to do, you can't do it
How about coming up with the detail of *how you could act* instead?
Sure, I know it's out of character…

Damn, the state of this
You need to urgently re-build one station - with a better platform between the tracks - and you can stabilise the operations on this line
But it won't happen until 2030. This is *ABSURD*

This is the wrong take. It’s that EU politicians are too weak and cowardly to leave X, and hence so are all the acolytes in the Brussels EU Bubble.

Just don’t *flee* across the border, because Faeser will send you back.

So then. Heading back to Germany first time since Faeser gave up on #Schengen. My train doesn’t run all the way to Berlin but terminates at Frankfurt (Oder). What will happen there?
(Or if you think something else will happen, reply to say what!)
Ha. Passenger next to me here has “Zugbindung ist aufgehoben” on her DB Ticket. So she can take any train. Polish train manager doesn’t know what this means We’re not sure if the Deepl translation “Wiązanie pociągu zostało anulowane” is right!
That this train - that can do vMax 160km/h with 8 stops averages 116km/h is quite something. Ok, the terrain is flat, but there’s not much slack in this timetable.

So I didn’t make a fool of myself at Eurotrans. And people understood my points - as I’ve got useful examples to make what I’m talking about real and relateable. Quick 10 mins on a bench in the sun and now back towards Berlin… #Eurotrans2024
Top Zoom tip: if your face is too bright / low contrast, make your fake background likewise #Eurotrans2024
Ah. Megaprojects often don’t get the traffic they expected when they started building. We know that. “We need a better assessment control framework from the EU”. Laughing darkly here. What EU politician gives a about that? #Eurotrans2024
Being at this #Eurotrans2024 conference is weird. It’s another one of these situations where I don’t know if I’m enlightened or if I’m stupid.
I can cut through the bullshit in these speeches like a knife through butter. But the people here have roles, responsibility, income *massively* higher than I do.
@mspro Facile. Sorry. Vestager was going anyway. Breton is going mostly because of his own mis-steps. There’s no point crying over spilt milk.
Here’s my post about #RailBaltica after travelling a big part of the future route earlier this year #Eurotrans2024
https://crossborderrail.trainsforeurope.eu/rail-baltica-better-informed-but-none-the-wiser/
Now they’re trying to talk about #RailBaltica. It’s horrid. At least I know what I don’t know about Rail Baltica, which is better than this. #Eurotrans2024
Ahhh finally a good speaker. Daniel Hörcher from Imperial. Sharp guy #Eurotrans2024 https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/d.horcher
Sadly Sönke Reise’s presentation went downhill from his name onwards. #Eurotrans2024
We’ve got a dude called Sönke Reise presenting at #Eurotrans2024
Perfect name
