About the other new #CrossBorderRail line for me earlier: Kalków Laka 🇵🇱 - Vidnava 🇨🇿

This one you can more easily find remnants of it. But while bridges are still there they’re in a bad state, and embankments collapsing. You’d need to re-build c. 30km to Nysa. And Nysa itself is a rail backwater.

Joyous #CrossBorderRail day today. Little hope for the railways but it’s a super area to cycle.

Nothing stopped here for a while #CrossBorderRail

Omg. Screw 1st class. The ICE Small Child Cabin is where it's at.

It has:
-a door preventing escape
-place for stroller
-an acceptable amount of sharp corners

Rather German experience in the dining car. Mobile signal is too weak and the payment terminal won’t connect. I held it at the window for the employee! 😀 #CrossBorderRail

Toddler and I are doing some #CrossBorderRail. I'm both super looking forward to it and massively crossing my fingers DB does its job well :-)
