Pondering where to go next, tomorrow.

  • Pondering where to go next, tomorrow. I am beginning to go home now, but considered starting by going Cerbère–Portbou–Barcelona–Latour-de-Carol and then maybe the night train to Paris, or the Petit Train Jaune. But yeah. Probably too complicated. Even getting to Barcelona from here is harder than it could be.

    There is a LiO train (operated by SNCF) to Portbou that leaves at 08:37 and arrives at 08:41.

    While the Rodalies train from Portbou to Barcelona leaves already at 08:35.

    In other words, exactly as one can expect.

    In a sane world, the Catalan trains would start/end in Cerbère, not in Portbou. Just like the Occitan trains go all the way to Portbou, and start there. But I guess the Generalitat can't be arsed to find train drivers that speak enough French to be allowed to drive the train a few kilometres in France, or something.

    At this stage of a trip, when realising it is time to start going back home, I always start feeling quite homesick and begin planning how to quickly get to Hamburg, Stockholm, and Helsinki. Seems that if I start from Cerbère tomorrow morning, I can be in Basel well in time for the night train to Hamburg, which now even has Mini Cabins. And this without using a single TGV. Yay.

    FINE VITA, LUCA COSCIONI: 16MILA LE RICHIESTE NELL’ULTIMO ANNOEutanasia e suicidio assistito, interruzione delle terapie, cure palliative. Nell’ultimo anno al Numero Bianco dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni sono arrivate 44 richieste al giorno. Ognuna una persona che non ce la fa più, un Paese che non trova soluzioni e un volontario, per ascoltare e far capire che il suicidio assistito non è l’unica possibilità rimastahttps://www.retisolidali.it/fine-vita-luca-coscioni-16mila-le-richieste-nellultimo-anno/

    🎉 Some important #CrossBorderRail news! 🎉After thinking about the idea for more than a decade (yeah, this is later than a DB train!) I am finally starting to plan building a railway organisation for lobbying work, and @patrick @partim & @redjives are in from the start. We're sort of soft launching todayDetails 👇https://jonworth.eu/european-rail-passengers-union-lobbying-for-passengers-cross-border/
  • This will be fun.

    But yeah, you have to sit by the window on the better side (which varies), and really know when to look out, to notice the spiral tunnels and see the track higher up or lower down where you travelled a moment ago. There are lots of other trunnels, too. Sadly my train was rather full and I didn't have a window seat.
