🇩🇪🇨🇭Off the rails: the myth of German efficiency lies in ruins.
News that Swiss railways is stopping late-running DB trains at the border to prevent them wrecking its clockwork timetable is greeted by a resigned shrug from weary Germans. (No paywall ⬇️📰)

Train drivers today are driving at the limit of human performance capability. Further reductions to Signals Passed at Danger (SPAD) risk will require technological solutions. Our Graphic Insights explore how we got here and put SPAD risk into context. brnw.ch/21wJ8cT

Today's travel podcast: I'm on the train, in Germany. It's stopped between a derelict building and a goods yard for no clear reason.
In my experience, the Zeitplan (timetable) on German Railways is an expression of hope rather than a reliable proposition.

🤔 Why does it take a long time to write a timetable?
🎬 Our very own Chris Denham explains in part one why we start working on timetables many months in advance ...
... and how we respond to events like landslips and industrial action to get your trains where they need to be.

I've launched a petition with Parliament to require drive through takeaways to print vehicle registration on wrappers to link the litter with the vehicle it was dumped from. I'd be grateful if you could please share widely.

😯 Incredible historic pictures in 3D …
🚂 More than 100 years ago, the railway between Folkestone and Dover reopened after its worst landslip in history.

We've found the cause of the power supply problems on the route between #Rochester and #Swanley.
Something has caused the live rail to arc to the running rail, and burned enough of a gap to rip the current collector equipment from passing trains (called "shoes"). /1

We don't know what has caused the arc - it's not clear and it's possible the cause has burned to ashes now.
Repairs will take a while as we need to cut damaged rails out (both the running rail and conrail) so please check before you travel on the route today.

This is a different kind of #RailStrike Courage to you @AKamyshin and the test of your teams in #Ukraine

If you're traveling this week, please be aware that we're expecting #russians shelling Ukrainian railway infrastructure again and again. Actually they didn't stop for a day. So we regularly find shit like this on our tracks, demine it and #KeepRunningOnSchedule.
