The rule is that you have to travel via Delémont if you are going for the west of the country. Bonus twist today: due to engineering works, the trains turn left just outside Biel and head to Lyss.

The train turns around in Delémont. If it wouldn’t it would eventually end up in Belfort which is also where I wanted to end up last night. So let’s not talk about that.

All the (Belgian, Luxemburgian, and German) conductors yesterday just threw up their hands when confronted with this big A4-sized form of a ticket.

The train stops in an industrial estate outside Biel for transfer to the city bus. Afterwards, the conductor is a bit surprised to still find me on the train.

Onwards to Bern on something modern or some classic railway to Kerzers? Rhetoric question.

They sneakily added a low-floor section to the train by cutting an old carriage in half and sticking a newly build portion with Jacobs bogie between the halves.

Kerzers is basically a pretty signal box where the SBB and BLS lines intersect at grade. They like classic American cars here, so why not have classic American railroad features.
(Unlike in Germany, where it would still be in use, the signal box is now a museum: https://www.stellwerk-kerzers.ch)

Murten – Fribourg definitely goes on the list of railway lines that are way prettier than they have any right to be.
I suspect the whole region east of the lakes is highly underrated.

I had hoped that a Sunday evening train up into the mountains would be nicely quiet. Instead it is full of tired, cranky toddlers.

Ritorno a Monte Livata - o della fine della montagna di massa
«Di fronte alle Olimpiadi che si stanno per aprire a Cortina, il declino delle aspiranti Cortine degli Appennini pone una domanda che riguarda molte aree montane: ha ancora senso investire in modelli turistici ad alto consumo idrico in territori che l’acqua non l’hanno mai avuta in abbondanza?»

@graffio gli "ottimisti" spesso non sanno nemmeno di cosa stanno parlando perché o non hanno mai compilato due righe di codice oppure l'unica cosa che sanno fare è compilare due righe di codice con la pretesa di spiegarci cosa è la vita a partire da porte logiche e compilatori. L'effetto è comunque di passare come naturale (che invoca rassegnazione e adattamento) ciò che i vece è culturale e storico (che invoca scelte).
