@EuropeanRailTT @TT_Compiler Has this now been fixed?

🚨CUSTOMER NOTICE🚨 We are experiencing ongoing issues with the availability and operation of the European Rail Timetable App on Google devices. We are aware of the problem and are working to remedy it as soon as possible. Apple users should not be affected at this time.

Another step forward: @raileurope now offers Interrail & Eurail passholder reservations on Spanish Railways. No booking fee. If you've a 1st class pass they also sell the AVE Premium reservation where an extra €10.50 gets you a meal, wine, lounge access. #Spain" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seat61.com/interrail-and-…

SNCF's subconscious desire to really be an airline is revealed on architecture of France's dedicated TGV stations: Aix-en-Provence and Belfort-Montbéliard. More akin to an airline terminal than a normal railway station.

Between the years, an ICE rides the old border where the Berlin Wall once stood… #EuropebyRail

The last direct daytime train from Paris to Berlin was way back in 2015. It took 13 hours. A new service launched last week pares that down to just 8 hours. read more in @GuardianTravel by @Nicky_Gardner theguardian.com/travel/2024/de…

Dawn at our local station: Wannsee. Love the slightly retro feel. Served by ODEG, DB Regio, Berlin S-Bahn, IC2 and the wonderful ICE 101 running overnight via Rhineland to Switzerland @SimonCalder @seatsixtyone @AndyBTravels @raileurope. Do you have a favourite local station?

Züssow in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Not far from Germany's Baltic coast. Is this a perhaps the smallest community routinely served as part of DB's ICE network? ICEs connect here with local trains to/from the Baltic island of Usedom.

@stephengbrown Indeed! Those Ortenau S-Bahn trains through Kork and Kehl to Strasbourg are famously overcrowded. NG

Returning to France over the Rhine from Germany quite a different experience in a local train than in the opposite direction on the first direct ICE from Paris to Berlin @EuropeByRail

Or Route 29, where we recommend hopping on the night train to Narvik: europebyrail.eu/online-route-m…

There are a couple of routes in #EuropebyRail that head beyond the Arctic Circle... how about Route 28, heading north to the Lofoten Islands: europebyrail.eu/online-route-m…

Christmas is almost upon us, and if it all gets a bit much... how about spending a few hours watching the Norwegian landscape go by in the snow? A SlowTV special on the Nordlandsbanen: youtu.be/3rDjPLvOShM?si…

Romanian night train memories. There is always something special about arriving at the break of dawn at some small town station, especially in winter when the skies have a particularly beautiful pastel glow.

Of course, none of this is a substitute for getting your hands on the timetable itself. The digital edition of the December European Rail Timetable is available now, and you can also buy an annual print and digital subscription: europeanrailtimetable.eu

[CH] + [D] An additional pair of EuroCity services have been introduced between #München and #Zürich. EC 297 departs Zürich at 0535 with EC 296 forming an evening departure from München at 2055...

Each month we are delighted to be able to bring you the latest #Newslines from the European Rail Timetable, which we publish on the #EuropebyRail website as an added service for our readers. Some interesting titbits from the December edition… Photo © Denis Linine | Dreamstime

@jersiegel @TheWorld Apols, Jeremy, but I am incredibly busy this week. I guess your request is quite time sensitive. I don't have time to do this before the weekend, which I assume is too late for you. Try @stephengbrown whom I met on the train. Lovely guy. Nicky

@EuropeByRail I'm a correspondent for @TheWorld. Would you be available for a quick interview over zoom to talk about your ride on the new Berlin-Paris train? My DMs are open and my email is jeremy_siegel@wgbh.org

@Sadik21804847 There already is one. Thrice weekly. It is the daytime ICE which is new.

Would be great for a night train.
