    @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.

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

      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 🤷‍♂️

        @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.

              @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.

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

                  Genuine Interrail panic this morning

                  The Interrail app wouldn’t allow me to add a journey 🤯

                  No journey means no QR code to show to train managers…

                  Turns out: an iOS update broke it! You can’t SEE the Save button

                  Tap where I’ve circled and it works!

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

                    @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.

                        @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!

                          @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.

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

                                @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

                                  @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.

                                        @jon wow, that’s quite a stretch of an assumption. Honestly, I’d rather not even use it for Interrail if I could. It’s such a terrible app.

                                          @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 @partim @samy It really is a hassle when your workflow doesn' t work anymore yes. Just saying that afaik I've never used a save button when on the way (adding a pass, maybe, but never after that, always via adding a trip and activating it with the button next to it). I'll check once I have an active pass again...
