I'm not familiar with Czech prepositions, but it is possible that the automatic translations has defaulted to some "formal" mode in lieu of additional context information. I have a similar story with Finnish Swedish, which when used in Sweden immediately marks you out as a Finn...mainly...

IIRC there was a plan to actually do this - I'll see if I can find it - but the idea was to run trams up London and Lewes Roads; the latter as far as Coldean and Falmer, and close London Road and Moulsecoomb stations.

You can walk along the river bank at Narva - which by itself is a nice walk, but without a visa you will not be allowed entry and attempt to do so might cause you some serious problems. That particular border wasn't the easiest even when it was open - it was never a case of just showing your...

Finland has an official one from VR, but the best is Julia which takes real-time data from the Traficom servers and displays more or less everything you ever wanted to know about real-time train traffic in Finland. I use it for my commutes to work and back - if just to know why we're stopped at...

I think you'll insult most the country by calling Finland Eastern European, but I digress... More or less eveything is locomotive hauled, double decker carriages, restaurant cars, 200kmh running. There are Pendolinos on the long-distance network too, I try to avoid these but not for the...

Whence and whither are quite nice actually. I like that

Because it varies... Helsinki before they got the new CT scanners were quite happy with belts on; now they have CT scanners - laptop and liquids are ok, belts are not because. Most EU airports you can keep your shoes on - except in Amsterdam in my experience where thick soles need to be taken...

I would hope so :-) It was written in an ambiguous way (also seen it written in that way in some railway journals too).

Just been hunting around on Vaunut.org Keskustelu/Resiina to see if there is any mention there...nothing But I did find this in Kirkkonummen Sanomat: https://www.kirkkonummensanomat.fi/neo/?app=NeoDirect&com=6/159/74407/25fef5b9f6 Seems it reopened yesterday for one train in each direction...

Do you mean 2 weeks every year for 10 years, or closed for 10 years.

Psychologically these moments of humour are actually beneficial for safety. Captain Eric Moody who recently passed away, famous for the BA 009 flight and the understatement of the century announcement, I believe stated that humour was a part of the interactions between the crew in the cockpit...

I am surprised he didn't refer to everywhere north of Lyon as "Le Nord" where it is perpetually raining .... if you know the film, you'll understand :-) But it is nice to get such announcements as these

Took about 2:00 - 2:15 to/from Dresden HbF to Sudkreuz. After about 8 at night, there are no good connections from the Brandenburg airport to Dresden

This might be of interest to some, especially those who like rare trackage... The main Berlin-Dresden line is being upgraded so IC trains are rerouted via Juteborg and Falkenberg, then over the freight only line to towards Riesa then using the curve to get on the Leipzig-Dresden line. After...

Varies quite a bit in Finland, on the InterCity trains - all of which are double deck - you have quite a few possibilities: there are seats around tables upstairs and down, and also over the bogies. You can also find 2-4 person compartments and a family compartment on the trains. If you like...

Just had to change flights...departing the airport at 20h00 means arriving in Dresden long after midnight....coming back isn't a problem as I have plenty of time (which with my experiences with DB is very necessary) Now I'm wondering if I should have flow to Prague instead as I did last time I...

Thanks all, explains a lot....there are some interesting routes being suggested by DB - one including 5 changes. Getting back to the airport on time is my biggest concern

Later this month I'll be going form Berlin Brandenburg airport to Dresden. I'm fairly sure when I checked a little while back there was an Intercity service taking about 1h30. Now when I check, say, departures after 20:00 everything seems to be running via Leipzig and taking around 3 to 4...

Here's the best non-Interrail option for Finland: https://www.vr.fi/en/train-tickets/holiday-ticket All the ticket types are here (including InterRail, Mutli and Season tickets): https://www.vr.fi/en/train-tickets

Helsinki Vantaa has come under a lot of scrutiny lately - there *are* queues because there aren't enough staff and now the scanners are reporting a lot of false positives. I also find the queues after security if your back gets checked much slower now. There has even been allegations that the...
