Welcome to today's thread - #CrossBorderRail 2026 Tour Day 32 - 5 May - Strasbourg - Rumelange - Kirchberg - Wiltz - Libramont - Bruxelles
-
So the plan now: blag my way onto a TGV (with Interrail), get to Thionville and bike from there to Rumelange
Ok. Got the TGV. So now I’ve got to bike Thionville - Rumelange instead of Bettembourg - Rumelange. I might yet manage all this today

@jon I'd love to imagine someone placing that 30 metre stretch of track carefully straddling a border, presumably just to troll you.

@pseudomonas sadly it’s about 200m from the border!

@pseudomonas @jon does that mean the zip line from Spain to Portugal counts as a cross-border monorail?
Fuel: gravity
No WiFi
No meal service
Terrible for luggage
Interrail not accepted -

The houses are in Luxembourg at the start of the video. The side road is in France. #CrossBorderRail

@jon doesn’t look like it

Trainline can’t sell it either
️ #CrossBorderRail
@jon I will travel to Olomouc at the end of May. Only way: book on ČD app (not possible on DB navigator) and get reservation to Prague from DB.

@maha at least that was semi logical as a solution! This is a SNCF train they can’t sell.

SNCF Connect, it can *always* be worse than you imagine. I am on Interrail today but wondered how much Metz
- Bettembourg costs. SNCF Connect can’t tell me, TER Grand Est site can. SNCF is the operator.

@jon SNCF showed my connection from Paris to Donostia, but I could only book from Paris to Hendaye. There I‘ll have to buy my ticket for Euskotrain at a vending machine within minutes. Very uncomfortable. But what is even worse: There is a timetable for Euskotrain for May, but not for June, so I have to find out whether and when it is running when I‘ll be there. Google recommends walking to Irun.
