Not sure if this is a disability aid or a thing to create more disabilities. #TrainFriday

Guess who has a 17 minute long layover at Bydgoszcz Glowna with two separate tickets?

You, foreigner, roaming in our country, shall not get the connection search results.

(I'm not sure if it's geoblocking but it's very plausible)

Sorry, search engine error occurred with code 403.

The train actually arrived 13 minutes after scheduled departure and the layover was a bit compensated by the delay of the next train.

For an unknown reason, no journey planner offered me a more direct connection than this.

A screenshot of a map with a trail between Toruń and Inowrocław via Bydgoszcz while there clearly is a more direct path.

While standing still for more than 20 minutes and then moving with a speed of 20 km/h from signal to signal, one can see the energy transition of Poland. On the right, a natural gas mine is burning excess gas while on the left, windmills are producing renewable energy.

Czech railway people all know that the proper way of attaching the locomotive to the train is to put the chain link of the train on the hook of the locomotive. Somehow this does not seem to be the case abroad as this is already the second time I see the connection made the other way around.
#TrainFriday
A view from the end of the train carriage to the link with the locomotive. The hook of the locomotive is empty and the train is apparently attached to the chain link of the locomotive.

Is there a rationale for the rule?

@mdecky what I heard it relates to the fact that broken chain link on the locomotive is much more serious issue than broken chain link on a carriage. But it might be just an urban legend.

The other Frankfurt. There is no proper ticket office and everything that looks like a ticket office has a big sign saying what they don't do.

Some passengers are so eager to board the train that they block half of the door width, slowing down the process of alighting.

The last train of today got delayed due to crowding, as standing passengers in the aisle prevented the driver from reaching the cabin.
#TrainFriday

A crowd waiting to board the train. One person is standing in the door opening.

This is very normal... 🤔

The typical situation at a subway train door is like that:
1) I want to get on, but standing outside the door profile to allow passengers to leave the car (I see some persons just behind the door).
2) Several seconds passed and the door remains closed. Thus I go to it and press the button.
3) The door opens, I make one step ... and collide with the passengers running out between the ones standing inside close the door (and not leaving the car).
🙈
