🚆🇦🇹 Leaving Graz Hbf with the #IC512 bound for Salzburg Hbf. The consist is hauled by an ÖBB 1144 and includes only one first class carriage with very few seats, as half of it is a bike compartment. There’s also a trolley service offering snacks and drinks during the journey.

🚆🇨🇭 The #Transalpin is a classic of train travel in Europe! I took the #EC163 between Zürich HB and Graz Hbf 🇦🇹 with a seat in the panoramic car. This journey through the Austrian Alps 🏔️ is 9h 34min, a great opportunity to enjoy the stunning views and visit the dining car ☕🥐!

🚄💨 This is my first trip with #TGVLyria! I travelled from Paris-Gare de Lyon 🇫🇷 to Zürich HB 🇨🇭 on the #TGV9213 in first class. For some reason, this train goes via Strasbourg, making the journey 5h 34min. I had lunch from #LeBistrot, and ordered the menu “en-cas” with a quiche.

🚆🇫🇷 In Latour-de-Carol-Enveitg, I change to the #IntercitésdeNuit 🛏️🌙 to Paris-Austerlitz. This time, I’m travelling in a first class compartment, which has four berths, includes an amenity kit and water, and also gives you access to shower 🚿 facilities at the arrival station!

🚆🇫🇷 I departed from La Garriga, where I took a commuter train to La Tor de Querol-Enveig, right on the border with France. The journey from my local station takes 2h 28min and was worked by this S-447 with standard seats. I arrived about 40min late, making the connection tight!
