@jon But the sparkling glamour of Almere made up for it all, didn't it?

[vosje62@mastodon.nl]

@jon doors are cleaned...

[happydisciple@mendeddrum.org]

@partim @jon That’s why the Fyra wasn’t frost-proof either - fully compatible systems!

[jon@gruene.social]

@whvholst eh it’s not too bad! It was sunny. The cycle lanes are amazing.

[jon@gruene.social]

Going to industry conferences is weird

[simon@sueden.social]

@jon But certain ideas for giveaways come to mind here.

[partim@social.tchncs.de]

@jon Can you introduce CAF to these people?

— Sent from an SNG

[jon@gruene.social]

@partim I think they deal with track? But yes

[j2@circumstances.run]

@jon Probably staffing shortage. As with anything in the Netherlands.

[phrawzty@hachyderm.io]

@jon
Expert vibes only

[whvholst@eupolicy.social]

@jon On a beautiful Spring day like today nothing is too bad. And yes, they got to get cycling infrastructure right from the very beginning.

[ch1po@mastodon.social]

@jon Well, why would they? Cleaning insideis far more important.

[priscillaharing@mastodon.green]

@jon do I spy little balls on the vibrations table?

[pvdrijst@mastodon.social]

@jon They do but acc. to NS every 2 weeks is what they would like but that's not happening most of the time,

[jon@gruene.social]

@Ch1po well other railways do manage!

[jon@gruene.social]

My workshop about #CrossChannelRail is first, at 10:10

There aren’t many people in the hall yet. And do people who care about track fastenings care about this? We‘ll see

No live stream though sadly

[bernavv@mastodon.social]

@jon Train travels are a disaster for women having their period too.

[ffeth@hostux.social]

@jon nice eerie venue
