Welcome to today's thread - #CrossBorderRail 2026 Tour Day 14 - 3 Apr - Ravières - Paris - Saarbrücken - Saarlouis - Bouzonville - Saarbrücken

[partim@social.tchncs.de]

@jon I’m still on iOS 26.3 and will avoid any updates, then.

[jon@gruene.social]

And how am I getting from Ravières to Bouzonville

Via…

Obviously

Map 1: my route (in Green)
Map 2: the active railway line Béning - Bouzonville - Thionville (in Red) It’s double track electrified. But France runs no passenger trains on it ‍️

@jon speaking of which, I don't understand why Interrail app allows adding trips to expired passes. What purpose does it have? Why overcomplicate the UI? I don't get it.

[jon@gruene.social]

@andrew_shadura I think they think you might use it even for days Interrail isn’t valid?

[jon@gruene.social]

And what to do about Saarland - Lorraine - Luxembourg #CrossBorderRail will be the topic of my newsletter this week, going out at 14:00 today

@partim @jon
Given that it’s an important security update I wouldn’t put it off.
The button is there and works if you know where to look for it.
Better to inform the app creators of the issue, IMO.

[jon@gruene.social]

@samy @partim Interrail HQ is informed

[partim@social.tchncs.de]

@samy @jon Wasn’t the security update 26.1.3 (a)? I have that.

[patrick@mendeddrum.org]

@samy @partim @jon So do you all add journeys via My Pass? I usuallu use My Journey, where on the bottom you can add Next Leg. Then just activate it with the qr-button. Never used a save-button on that spot in your screenshot.

[samy@eupolicy.social]

@partim @jon
26.4 has +30 security fixes, including some significant ones.

[vosje62@mastodon.nl]

@jon It looks like a typical design error in dark modus.

[partim@social.tchncs.de]

@patrick @samy @jon I think that’s also what I’m doing, but it is so muscle memory by now that I am not actually sure.

[stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social]

@partim @jon Works great on iOS 18 . I saw that half-baked glass stuff and just said ”nooooo thanks”. Will need to update soon for security updates though…

[jon@gruene.social]

@partim @patrick @samy every location where there’s normally Save it wasn’t present. Or wasn’t visible. I spent 10 mins searching before leaving home this morning!

[jon@gruene.social]

@vosje62 it’s not I think. It came with the update to 26.4. I don’t even have dark mode on as a setting.

[jon@gruene.social]

@stefanlindbohm @partim weirdly it only just happened as a problem. 2 weeks ago on 26.3.x it showed ok.

[vosje62@mastodon.nl]

@jon I hope they come with a fix soon ...

[stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social]

@jon Maybe they’re trying to fix some of the issues with the glass still and breaking stuff in the process? I have seen they’re slowly walking back on some of the craziest design decisions (usability-wise) in the patches since 26.0

@partim

[interrailinfosvenska@mastodonsweden.se]

@andrew_shadura @jon It's possible to add journeys to any trip, regardless if they are connected to a pass or not. It's more consistent to be able to add to any trip than if past trips would disappear from view

As Jon suggests, a mix of Interrail and separate tickets in the same map view.

Not sure how it currently looks, but last year the map view didn't show past journeys if you had added future ones. I had a separate trip to show map view of trains so far.
