Sep 11/12 resumption not quite confirmed yet, but... Amtrak indicates Adirondack line will soon restart

That's not being "anti-car", that's being "not only car", and having in mind the huge space required for every car trip (the surface footprint per car passenger on the streets is *huge*, both when driving and for parking) and the huge cost of this mode of transportation (both for the person...

Oh you're right, it's "per train number per day".

So... won't work for him, since only one of these trips will count as they're all made on the same day.

And a temporary new door has already been installed a few days ago. Definitely will be fixed by then. This is not Orange County trying to fix a landslide ;)

Yes, Switzerland is not really "anti car" (and I can't really think of any "anti car" country really...)

Definitely could be a reason, yes, the old tunnel opened 140 years ago, with steam-only operations for the next 40 years, before being electrified in the 1920s :)

What for? The largest European loading gauge standard has a 4.83 m height.

Back to "only" one additional hour with trips cases where an extra transfer is required when the western tube reopens on 24 August. Well you're not supposed to have a train smash through that door in the first place though... and the door has already been replaced as of today :) Yes, part of...

SNCF Connect is still crappy. Poorly designed, too many clicks and hidden menus, not showing all trains/pricing options, displays a scam ad at the end of the booking process...

It may not exactly answer the questions, but Trains Magazine has published in 2003 a rough "daytime/nighttime" map of Amtrak routes: https://www.trains.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/tm1103-amtrak-day-night.pdf (I guess most lines still run on about the same schedule 20 years later)

ÖBB's Bruxelles-Berlin had been planned for a while, so it's not a response to European Sleeper. It will be taking a different route: European Sleeper runs via the Netherlands, ÖBB will run via Frankfurt (and probably Mannheim) to meet and mix with the train to/from Paris.

Their sleeping cars have been certified a few weeks ago, and are now part of the regular consist :) This was in 2020, and only because Stena Line ceased operating the ferry route. I was lucky enough to be on one of the latest trains operated via this route in December 2019, on a schedule that...

Ouigo 7623/7624 are indeed cancelled, and replaced by TGV 8879/8818 on these days, yup. No chance to seem them "restored" (which honestly is good news for the passengers, given how uncomfortable the whole Ouigo experience is...).

Could you be a bit more specific about which trip/train exactly? :)

The key part to have this kind of rail network in the US is "transit oriented development". As long as commuter train stations will mostly be surrounded by parking lots and not by actual dense housing / businesses (either offices or commercial), that won't happen.

"Royale" has been rolled-out in mid-2021. Some transit agencies have partnered with Transit, in exchange for a free Royale status for their users, Pace being one of them: Transit agencies gifting Royale to their riders - Transit Support

Wait what? Flixtrain doesn't operate X2000, that's SJ, and a 1st class ticket is at least 365 SEK (very few seats at this price, it goes as much as 1835 SEK) :)

Adirondack to return in Q2 2023? https://www.mynbc5.com/article/amtraks-adirondack-train-returning-2023/41997829

And by European standards, Thalys is very expensive... As of 2019, average long-distance fares were 0.11€/km for DB (Germany), and 0.115€/km for SNCF, but those are average: short trips have a higher cost per km, whereas longer trips have a much lower cost (especially with DB). Same goes for...
