1. Gehört Deutschland zu dieser EU, die Züge liebt? Denn hier wurde in den letzten Jahr(zehnt)en nicht viel für deren Infrastruktur gemacht.
2. Kann 'die EU' positiv auf Deutschland einwirken, da was zu verbessern?
3. Ich würde Züge viel mehr lieben, könnte man damit zuverlässig und etwas komfortabler reisen.
4. Auch die Preispolitik ist spannend. Je mehr fahren, desto teurer wird es. Wir sind zu viert. Mit dem Auto wird es günstiger und praktischer und oft schneller.Edit: Fehler weg

Especially when crossing borders, we need
better connections and networks reliable information for planning trips easy booking of international ticketsI see high potential for European train travel. Looking forward to your posts!

Is there anything you want to know more about? Ask me questions, tell me fun facts.@hpod16 I took the train from Schiphol Airport to Amersterdam for a few Cdn $. On the return the conductor asked for considerably more. "Why so much?"
"This is First Class"
I looked around and replied "THIS is First Class?"
So he charged me the regular fare.
In Canada there's no class, everyone gets a comfortable seat. -

I am interested in the history of toilets on rails.
For example:
When was the first accessible toilet on trains?
When was the first pay-to-use toilet in train stations?
How are they designed? And why?,... -

Which actions is the EU taking to make cross-border train services more competitive to other modes of transport, especially to flying?
With regard to ticketing, safety and operating licensing, for example.

Is there anything you want to know more about? Ask me questions, tell me fun facts.My buddy and I rode a train back from Mexico City in 1972 (or '73 ?) to Laredo or Brownsville. It looked like something out of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid !
I'm pretty sure it was steam. It was so cool ! And kind of deserted - very few people on board. Will never forget that day. I wonder what you can find what trains ran in Mexico during that time and what happened to them ? or that one ? -

1. why are EU member states taxing energy for trains, but not for air travel?
2. when will it be possible to book a single ticket across more than one country and operator, and enjoy passenger rights for the full journey?
3. What might the EC do to induce operators to offer more family friendly pricing? -
