Hmmm. Is this new Berlin-Paris service really going to stop anywhere between Berlin and Frankfurt (Main)? And then will serve Frankfurt Süd and not Hbf? And no stop in Mannheim? Or have they just not finalised the stops yet? #CrossBorderRail 🤔 https://www.deutschebahn.com/de/presse/pressestart_zentrales_uebersicht/Erstmals-mit-dem-ICE-von-Berlin-nach-Paris-neue-Direktverbindung-vorgestellt-13084996

Jon Worth (jon@gruene.social)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2024 03:44:48 JST Jon Worth Ok. I’d prefer it was still a #CrossBorderRail line. But this wonderful cycle lane on the old track bed is the next best thing! 🙂

Jon Worth (jon@gruene.social)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2024 03:44:42 JST Jon Worth Meanwhile MORE problems with hydrogen trains in Germany. Last week it was a shortage of hydrogen in Niedersachsen, this time it’s missing spare parts and malfunctioning fuel cells in Hessen https://www.hessenschau.de/wirtschaft/rmv-muss-im-taunusnetz-auf-notfahrplan-setzen-v2,taunusnetz-notfahrplan-100.html

Works to add the third track between Oberhausen and the DE-NL border well underway here. Going for 3 rather than 4 tracks is a rather uninspiring upgrade though.

Jon Worth (jon@gruene.social)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2024 03:44:38 JST Jon Worth Ok, this upgrade makes sense the more you travel along the route here. Between Oberhausen and Wesel there are things lining the whole route - houses, warehouses, streams, farms. Fitting anything more than 1 extra track in here would be damned hard!

Jon Worth (jon@gruene.social)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2024 03:44:37 JST Jon Worth Beyond Wesel there are no signs of works. But this Wesel Feldmark stop definitely needs an upgrade!

Jon Worth (jon@gruene.social)'s status on Friday, 20-Sep-2024 03:44:34 JST Jon Worth I’m getting out in Emmerich (still Germany) but this is meant to be a #CrossBorderRail train to Arnhem but it’s not. There’s a shortage of multi-system EMUs so everyone has to change in Emmerich for a shuttle to Arnhem.
