NS International Railways tries to make international rail travel even harder. Screenshot by my daughter, travelling from Barcelona to Rotterdam today. The app is informing her that the train from Paris to Rotterdam leaves on the same platform at Gare du Lyon where the train from Barcelona arrives. Not really. It leaves from a different station (Gare du Nord), about half an hour away by RER city train. 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
minimizing the literal nazi talk from a potential key Trump person… again.
I don't think the American media will ever learn. The day they 'resist' as they are taken off the air by the fully authoritarian regime they'll probably say something like:
"today, in a controversial act, the administration declared that this news channel broadcast license has been changed. The new license will only allow reruns of the Presidents past speeches to play 24/7. After an immediate stay was requested by this station, the Supreme Court has ruled the change to be lawful. Goodnight America.”

#Rotterdam centraal station
Detroit announces the return of trains at their central station (or at least very near it) bus station a potential extension of the Wolverine Amtrak train from Chicago all the way to Windsor/Toronto
Canadian extension would require some Canadian funds, in the current political climate I have my doubts. But glad to see Detroit re-investing into better transport infrastructure.
Time to continue my #rail travel stories. It's a few years since I was at the seaside last, since the travel's too long for me now. Before, I used to visit Świnoujście and Kołobrzeg a few times. The route to Kołobrzeg is quite straight, whereas Świnoujście gets interesting because of Szczecin on the way there.
So over all these years, using regional Poznań – Świnoujście trains, I've made all these variations:
• a direct train that reversed on Szczecin Główny station (i.e. the main station in Szczecin)
• a direct train, except that I got off at Szczecin Dąbie to stretch my legs, and then entered the same train 40 minutes later as it stopped at the same station again
• a direct train that passed through Główny and used a roundabout track to reverse
• a direct train, except that I got off at the first stop at Szczecin Dąbie, and changed trains to "Błękitny" that went faster from Szczecin to Świnoujście
• the "Orkan" train that used the rail bypass to go straight from Szczecin Zdunowo to Szczecin Załom, and skip all the other Szczecins (except I only went as far as Goleniów back then)

Silver lining: at least it's not a BSOD.
For a few days now, the IQAir app has reported anormal levels of pollution around me (mainly due to level of PM2.5 particles).
The “hazardous” status is certainly wrong and due to a single station.
May be this particular station has been damaged by tear gas emanations from a few days ago ? 🫢😮

We just got about an inch or so of pea-sized hail in our neighborhood, and just over 1/2 inch of measured precip on my weather station at a rate of just under 2 inch/hour. That counts as a deluge in the high desert where we are in northern Colorado.
I want to see Cloudflare screen of death somewhere outside. Like some huge screen serving ads in the city centre or showing metro departure times on the station. This *must* be happening somewhere in the world.
From the neoclassical station entrance
— with its massive emerald-green sliding steel doors, pyramid-like roof and domed ceiling
— to the wide concrete staircases leading down to the cool, musty underground platform and tracks, the station exudes a peculiar mix of mystery and urban decay.

TIL about Point Nemo: the location on Earth that is furthest away from any landmass.
