Hot take: Instead of banning vegetarian meat substitutes from using words like "steak" and "burger" (obviously dumb and bad) they should regulate what can be called hummus: The main ingredient must be chickpeas. It must include tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. It may optionally include […]

On the rails again… #interrail #crossborderrail

After the rather dramatic day yesterday with so many last minute changes, today I’m hoping that I will have fewer incidents.

The actual advantage of this last minute change is that I am supposed to get to […]

Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG sat on a single chair next to a table in the first class compartment of a relatively ancient TER. My jacket can be seen on the other chair. A platform and car park in Basel can be seen through the window.

I'm glad I had that curry on the Avanti service - the #transportforwales service is without a chef. 😭 I could've changed in #crewe instead of coming all the way up to #Manchester. Oh well. #interrail

@mkivinen I saw this and I thought of you. #cake
Information display on a train reading "C is for cake. Hungry? You'll find a delicious range of food and drink available in coach C" above an Avanti West Coast first class antimacassar.

I now cannot eat any more #FreeStuff. For a while.

Behold the #avanti All the trimmings Festive Curry with Rice: cauliflower, shredded sprouts, parsnips, and carrots, with roasted onion in a creamy katsu curry sauce.

Finger puppet ready to demolish a cheese board and carrot cake. With wine. An adrenalised finger puppet, freshly arrived in Saint Pancras International, in front of a Eurostar train.

Bring on the #eurostar #FreeStuff. Egg mayonnaise with sweet potato and mushrooms and feta, a bread roll, and an organic Languedoc. Pudding MIA. @diningcar #interrail
Gluttonous finger puppet surveying a bowl of food served on a tray with a bread roll, a bottle of wine, a cup, and a cutlery set wrapped in a serviette with "Eurostar plus" written on it.

It's all feeling decidedly non-festive, at the Gare du Nord. Waiting area up the spiral staircase at the back of departures joyfully devoid of children. #interrail #eurostar
Puppet overlooks Hall One at Paris Gare du Nord. People fill the concourse. An empty waiting area with wooden floors and bench seating.

@viaduct_world Silly thing; sign-up and login allow plus addressed email addresses, but the 'forgot your password' form doesn't.

I have just remembered my password, so all is well, but though you should know.

Arresting freedom!
At street art at 2nd Av - Houston St, F Line
In New York! 🇺🇸
Artist Unknown
A black-and-white street art mural at 2nd Avenue–Houston Street on the F Line in New York City shows three ICE agents detaining the Statue of Liberty. The simplified, bold outline style depicts Liberty standing upright with her torch raised while the agents grab her arms and clothing, one kneeling at her side. The figures are drawn in thick white lines against a matte black wall, creating a stark contrast. A green metal fence runs along the bottom of the scene, and an old sign for a chemist shop is visible above the mural. Artist unknown.

On the rails again… #interrail #crossborderrail

Today, Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG and I are heading off on an 11-hour 1,600km slog through France on a couple of TGV Duplexes, going, via Paris Gare de Lyon and Paris Gare de l’Est, to Karlsruhe Hbf.

Today’s […]

Wendy the DBJUNGLESKOG sat in a first class single seat on the top deck of a TGV Euroduplex, playing on their tablet. Through the window can be seen the platforms at the as-yet-unopened Barcelona-La Sagrera station, with the front of a Renfe Series 103 parked at the platform.

#Basel #Freiburg #Karlsruhe #Mannheim #Frankfurt #Hamburg #København #Malmö

Even before its planned launch in 04/2026, the night train is under threat due to the possible cancellation of subsidies by the Swiss Federal Parliament.

Clearing out old emails, stumbled on this gem from 2011. Never got a response.

#thalys
Email from James to Franck Gervais regarding the new Thalys website. "Hello there, I thought I'd take a minute to thank you for the pretty new Thalys web site and for making the simple task of finding out how much a ticket costs a laborious and Herculean process. A triumph of form over function. Bravo."

My #CrossBorderRail trip from Brugge 🇧🇪 to Nuits-sous-Ravières 🇫🇷has gone very badly, and will leave me €59.94 out of pocket

Casually pining at photos from #morocco at the beginning of the year and I stumbled upon this filth.

Apparently I get extra points for consecutive numbers or something.

Two silver pointy ends of ONCF Al Boraq high-speed trains, kissing, under a bridge, with "1209" and "1210" visible on the trains. Part of Casablanca's cityscape in the background.

Hi Tooters - I'm looking for your experiences of different ways of spending during European travel.

I'm hoping to write a blog post on the advantages & disadvantages of - for example - cash, credit cards, currency cards, phone payments, travellers cheques, and anything else.
Is cash still king? […]

Go on then, I can knock one more out before bed. 💪

A #train journey, eight students, a splash of #gin, and a very loose game of #monopoly in #casablanca. What could possibly go wrong?

Morocco, day seventeen: Casablanca - I get you train station
In this episode: the start of my homeward journey, with a Ramadan time-change panic, a sunlit walk to the station, and a scenic ride north from Marrakech. Camels crossing bridges, hazy Atlas views - and a game of Monopoly with eight students, shifting alliances, dubious rules, special prices, and more negotiations than the UN.
