It's been quite unreliable over the past weeks: ASMAD - Amtrak Status Maps Archive Database - Create a Chart of Historical Amtrak Train Performance

You'd need to request access beforehand, which won't happen if you're not sponsored by the US government: Foreign Visitor Your driver would need to be registered as well: Food Delivery - Ride Share

Thanks, I had a much lower figure in mind for NYP :) Actually no, they're even, both with an average 100 kph speed on their respective routes. Speed is the same between ICE and TGV on this route, but you're right the ICE ride is more "bumpy" ^^

München Hbf has about 450,000 daily passengers (including about 150,000 on S-Bahn), seems to me that it's much more than Penn Station. Even slower than an Acela, speed ranges between 110 and 160 kph there, but the new 250 kph high-speed line between Stuttgart and Ulm is opening at the end of...

Oh thanks. Weird that they don't cross-sell anymore.

That was true 3 years ago, but now it's down to 3x a day (1x morning 1x evening 1x overnight) EDIT: +1x midday on weekends

Another option would be Via Rail to Windsor, then hopefully the tunnel bus to Detroit will have resumed by then (taxi otherwise), and then Michigan service to Chicago. You'll have to spend the night somewhere en route, either Toronto, Windsor, or Detroit probably. Or Greyhound bus to Burlington...

Ask ÖBB, given the circumstances they may offer to refund the Railjet journey. https://www.oebb.at/en/reiseplanung-services/kundenservice/beschwerde-lob-idee

Nope. Calling them is your best option there: there is no IVR menu, it just starts by telling you how long the wait is expected (17 min when I just tried), then there's a loop of pre-recorded messages until an agent becomes available. It appears that there's still a sleeper available, but since...

It's still part of the European Rail Timetable, in the "Beyond Europe" section, project that started when Thomas Cook stopped their publication. European Rail Timetable Excerpt from July 2022 newslines:

Do they? I know that in Europe SNCF doesn't, Deutsche Bahn doesn't, NS doesn't, Renfe doesn't, .Italo doesn't, Trenitalia doesn't, CFF/SBB doesn't... and I'm definitely missing some others.

Yes, the UK and Ireland have their own "mini Schengen", called "Common Travel Area", so having Ireland joining Schengen would mean either scrapping CTA or having UK joining Schengen.

- Schengen and EU are two different things: some EU countries are not part of Schengen (Ireland, Croatia, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus), some Schengen countries are not part of EU (Iceland, Norway, Switzerland) - There are unfortunately a lot of Schengen suspensions, with border checks Temporary...

To my knowledge, they've never been a member of Oneworld.

The website has changed again: Offizieller Weltrekordversuch

Meanwhile, at Railteam... still not much for passengers besides lounge access for highest-status members of participating rail companies (there's still no common miles program) https://www.railteam.eu/

Now showing a "page not found", some information in German here: Offizieller Weltrekordversuch Looks like the trip has been extended north to Alvaneu, so that's 24 km instead of 12. Not only 100 coaches, but actually 25 EMUs coupled together :)

Looks like they were in the only part of the train that didn't go to rest on its side, so they should be doing pretty ok.

- Bring earplugs for the night (unless the noise doesn't affect you) - Expect to have no mobile network coverage during long periods (and there's no WiFi on board) - And enjoy the scenery :)
