CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@quixoticgeek Can’t finish the evening without some train geekery. Have some train station pics at Stade de France-Saint-Dénis

@jon Mhhhh I like trainsplaning. Do you have that copyrighted or can I use it in a video?

There are 98 border crossings by rail between France and Spain on weekdays at the moment, and there will be another 10 or so when the R3 finishes its engineering works.The #CrossBorderRail problem here is that only 4 of them in each direction are long distance.Oh, and there’s currently another 2 crossings a day in each direction between Spain and Portugal.Far from ideal.

@hans_zelf @jon I'm aware

@bovine3dom Exactly. A rule inconsistently applied is the worst of all. @quixoticgeek @stefanlindbohm @corentin

@jon Sweet!

@spaetzlesmasher Spain is more the issue here than Portugal actually.

@lewd I already assumed that.

@jon I can imagine the train manager phoning their colleague "We have a VIP on board, please hold the train".Do you ever get the feeling you are a well-known frequent customer on these tours of yours?

@jon @Andres4NY @mejs Hi Jon. interesting. Amazing that you do such trips with folding bike. And you bypass all headache with bike in TGV etc? I traveled with the bike a lot in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Italy - all fine but countries like France are a headache with my "normal" bike.
