36 Days Around the World with Trains (A Preview) — we did this for summer 2025! Europe, Asia, Africa, Americas. 🇷🇸🇨🇭🇫🇷🇪🇸🇲🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🇭🇰🇨🇳 + 🇧🇦🇱🇮🇩🇪🇦🇹🇬🇮 ... A preview of the round-the-world trip our family did; many more clips to come. Especially here on Bluesky (more trains, less crazies). 😛 youtu.be/uecexmh8kxg

Yangquan, Shanxi! (山西阳泉)
My #Chunyun 1st Day Trip continues…
Yangquan North is its HSR hub. Built in 2009 at a time when HSR was merely been established, local authorities didn’t know what they expected — so they had the rails “dump” the station 40 km out of town. 😂 #BADIDEA
Now they’ve had to add…

Rock. Home. Village.
That’s literally what the Chinese characters for Shijiazhuang — 石家庄 — actually means.
This place used to be a total nothingburger. Two rail lines crossed paths. The rest is history.
My first #Chunyun city for 2026 — Shijiazhuang. And the main station.

We’re getting started big time with #Chunyun — the peak travel season around Lunar New Year — and again, well over half a billion passenger journeys expected over the next 40 days starting from today. HERE, you get the whole dead (so don’t bother with the “OTHER” platform). 🤣

Going from one city to the other in Central China — Zhengzhou 郑州 (provincial capital of He’nan, population c.10.3 million metro) to Xuchang 许昌 (population c.1.952 million metro) — by metro. Taking the Zhengzhou-Xuchang/Zhengxu line of the Zhengzhou Metro.

China is an enormous country where there is still a lot of physical place for solar and wind. It can do it! Just that local bureaucrats must wake up and face the music. The era of farting CO2 a la coal and stuff is OVER. Also, time to repurpose that coal railway so passengers can use it as well!

When was the last time you entered or left the USA — by Train?
We did it this past summer — Amtrak Cascades from Seattle to Vancouver.
Train delayed — but we had great seating and real good views!…

Beijing Subway now has 100 interchange stations — including two under a temporary “exit + interchange” arrangement.
Dahongmen opened up in full on 08 November 2025 — a key crossover between a major north-south route and the city’s busiest ring line. (Until then, it opened for Line 10 only.)

VIA Rail needs to start selling Montréal Central to Dorval tickets. Come on. No excuses.
In Switzerland, the airport station is RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE AIRPORT — PLUS there is a train every ***10*** minutes!

Montreal just extended their Grade 4 Automated Rapid Transit line we should be building hundreds more lines like it all over the Continent
no one has ever spoken like this about a GoA4 (grade-of-automation four, or no staff on-board and completely automatic) driverless metro

On “that other” network, I’m going to share less. Probably only the stuff people know me for. China Trains, plus microphones with enormous foam covers. 😂🤣😂🤣
This network? Everything, and everything else. If you have someone sane to keep things in control, it’s good!

Beijing is getting an all-new Line 18 soon…
This line, for now, adds metro links in northern Beijing’s suburbs, but a few years from now, following line reconfiguration, will offer a direct link to the city centre.

David Feng did Trains in the US this past summer. The rest, I guess, is history? 😂🤣 #TrainsNotPlanes
A growing number of Americans are rolling into the holidays by train with Amtrak reporting an increase in riders after federally mandated flight reductions led to thousands of delays and cancellations at major airports nationwide. NBC News' Emilie Ikeda reports.

Back on Bluesky… have had some handle errors as of late — but am now back, bugs squished.
I don’t do full live Train trip tweets on “that other network” so you guys are in luck here on Bluesky!
Also will be exploring more YouTube and Substack… for multimedia + Trains content…

Up next… content about Trains in and around Zhengzhou. This being the Clapham Junction of the Chinese railways it is not easy to decide which one to do!… as there are so many of them. So, will start with two short intercity lines — Central Zhengzhou to Xinzheng Airport, and Zhengzhou to Kaifeng.

China has begun pre service trials for the worlds fastest high speed train.
The CR450 reached a top speed of 453 kilometers per hour (281mph) and is set to enter commercial operation next year.
The country is on track to reach 50,000km of HSR this year.

Long Covid, for those who have it, is genuinely debilitating. I’ve been to many medical practitioners and it’s clear I have it. It varies between serious and almost “not a thing” on different days, sometimes with little explanation why, and frustrating, of course, it certainly is (perplexing, too!)…
