@lewd good luck!

Have a great trip through #braidspoor land.

@lewd@zug.network outskirts of Vilnius is a bit of a strech lol, it's closer to Kaunas for basically everything

Also, sad that it's the 630 instead of 730 that it should be..

Arriving in Kaisiadorys, #FOSSRail day two ends. 900 km further east and five countries crossed so far, I'm prepared to get up early tomorrow morning in order to catch the Baltic express connection bringing me across Latvia to the Estonian-Russian border.

#WhatsMissing : a night train Berlin/Praha/Krakow - Warszawa - Kaunas - Riga - Tallinn .

Good night !

@lewd Quite a journey already and more to come. Stay warm and take care!

[lewd@zug.network]

Reached my long distance transfer, the comfortable Pesa 730ML bringing me via Riga to Valga !

[ignaloidas@not.acu.lt]

@lewd@zug.network did a quick hop over to Kaunas?

Did say it's very viable to connect from it

[lewd@zug.network]

@ignaloidas Yes, you were right, that's more comfortable and gives you the bonus opportunity to enjoy an Skoda 757 !

[pythonlinks@mastodon.social]

@lewd I really enjoy seeing your daily progress as you crossed my country of Poland.

I am glad it is not me spending all of that time on the trains. I am looking forward to your future postings.

Please mention which trains would not allow me to take my bicycle. Then I could interrupt my trip, get some exercise and see the local places.

[cmeerbeek@mastodon.green]

@lewd Love your thread! Beautifull pictures.

[lewd@zug.network]

Crossed the border into Latvia !

@lewd
That very desirable long distance Baltic States into Central Europe is in the works, but progress is VERY slow. A direct train Tallinn - Riga, via Valga only just started running in January

[saaremartha@epicure.social]

@lewd
This is totally delightful and bonkers. In my younger days I rattled all over Europe on trains from Athens, through Yugoslavia and on to London. Now I can only travel though the words and photos of people like you. Thank You very much.

@lewd Apologies if you already discussed this in another thread before I followed you, but… you’re transiting Russia in 2026 with a Ukraine flag in your bio? Is that safe?

[nikkileah@mendeddrum.org]

@lewd safe travels! And good luck!

[mpsi@toot.lv]

@lewd I believe yellow-black Vivi trains are Škoda, not PESA.

[artiom@social.librem.one]

@lewd Love you journey! Keep going and good luck

[martijnk@mastodon.green]

@lewd Do you get a nicer sleeper or a more convenient arrival time by splitting it up?

[wrzlbrnft@troet.cafe]

@lewd Direct sleeper sounds nice and doesn't require a change of stations at Moskva.

[jtwcornell91@hostux.social]

@lewd would you have any time in Moskva to see anything besides the railway station?

[lewd@zug.network]

@jtwcornell91 Not really, three hours maybe.
