Termination was missing on the drive, surprise surprise. Fixed that. Localtalk works with my Beige G3/G4 😊

Progress, it now can somehow boot the harddisk after I plugged in an external SCSI CD-ROM drive with termination, even though it looked before like the drive was terminated. Confusing...

Brussels, London, Liverpool. Next stop Belfast and that's enough travelling for a while.

And so this year's only trip to Ireland begins... we're taking it easy this year and stopping for the night in Brussels. In theory we'll be there in just under 7 hours.

Regular ÖBB EC/IC carrying indeed the name Mimara. Nothing interesting to see today except the platform sign. The train's a turnaround of the EC 212 which was late. Paper window signage for the 212, nothing about Zagreb...

Spent a lovely afternoon in Leipzig seeing off the new PKP/DB connection to Krakow and enjoying the inner-city Christmas market. Happy #Fahrplanwechsel and a happy 3rd Advent Sunday 🕯️🕯️🕯️!

Refreshments involve a coffee machine and a vending machine. What I like though, is that there's a little seating area beside the machines. Nice touch. And the coffee isn't bad at all. It all feels a bit nicer than a regional train but substandard compared to an ICE.

Another day, another train test, except this time I have to pay 🥳
It's time to finally try out "the competition" and with the Sbahn being so messed up any train starting or ending at Ostbahnhof is welcome. We're off to the Spielwiesn in Augsburg 🤩

If there's one thing we have down that way, it's plenty of DMUs! Perhaps by then Wasserburg will finally be electrified and we'll have a few spare.

Nice smooth journey, arriving into Frankfurt early. The train is wide and roomy, the internet worked well. It's not a revolution but a very useful train for people to board easily and if you need diesel instead of electric traction.

Here are timetables in Sarajevo and Strizivojna-Vrpolje and our (handwritten!) tickets. We wanted to take the connection with a change (450/748) instead of the direct train 396 to Zagreb. My wife had figured it out. In Zagreb a portion of the train was coupled on to our night train heading west.

Thanks for a great article and documentation! We took the train from Sarajevo to Zagreb with one change in Strizivojna-Vrpolje in 2010. I've attached a couple of photos.
