- any stops

what IS on the screens:
- which chef designed the food menu

European sleeper is founded by people who know railways... It might not make headlines like a new train but they launched a subscription pass (up to 12 months) to their night trains!
Normalizing frequent long distance travel by night train, something i don't see "yet another low cost railway" ever do but is super important.

Redoing the lab storage, however a particular lab haj came up with the sorting system and sorted itself...

(maybe i do have the right bubble to try this)

Hi 👋 Do you or a somebody you know own an NMBS/SNCB ARI Disc? Diskette, CD, whatever? From whenever, I do not care.

It would be amazing if I could borrow one, I am trying to preserve copies of these however they seem to be lost in piles of trash. If you know somebody who has one happy to put a copy of it for the world to enjoy planning trains 90s style!
(If I have enough i might reverse engineer it to ship up to date schedules for it)

:boost_ok:

Hear me out... All we need is 4 people to lift this up and walk with it out the station...

Did you know SNCB used to build out and maintain a giant fiber network across Belgium?
This tiny tube next to a railway line is still part of the core internet today!

They did sell B-Telecom off to Eurofiber, because fiber tubes... Who invests in that right... Though even today SNCB/Infrabel still gets calls to look at those 😅

You want do do many trains? And you want to do them from September on? And you want to do them 20% off?

Then I might want to tell you Interrail is on sale again!
