OK, so my #DecarboniseRail diagrams are now up to V2.0.0

The crux: how to move from ⛽️ to ⚡️

This is the version from the train perspective Image
And this is the version from the network perspective Image
Here new elements for both diagrams come from @BegleyChris & @Ricardo_Rail - Green hydrogen now capitalised - this explains why: rail.ricardo.com/news/opinion-d…
On the train perspective diagram, part about last mile diesel locomotives added (thanks @pdfguru)

Mention of alternative fuels (thanks @Ricardo_Rail) and reorganisation of the bottom right of the diagram
On the network diagram, part on resilience of the network as a criterion (thanks @JP_Ving), and part on physical constraints to electrification also added
High res PNGs and PDFs, and the XML for the diagram, available here: jonworth.eu/downloads/deca…

As ever thoughtful feedback v welcome. But if it's "you're wrong", please instead just do me a favour and download the XML and make your own diagram!

Hey, residents of England!

You're getting vaccine passports

Let those of us in 🇪🇺 who have been using these for some time explain a little about the system... because (whisper it quietly!) the tech is compatible with EU systems! 🤯

🧵
Basically there are two parts to it

How you show you are vaccinated

And how a venue of some sort checks that you are
How you show you're vaccinated - here the QR code you show is crucial

But HOW you show it DOES NOT MATTER. So if you show it in the NHS England app, as a PDF, printed out, laser engraved into a piece of metal or some other way *it is OK*

So @VCDeV @BastianKettner have brought out their "VCD Bahntest 2021/22"

It's a hefty piece of work, looking at 6 international rail connections to/from Germany

The whole PDF is here:
vcd.org/fileadmin/user…

#VCDBahntest

Quick 🧵 Image
The document highlights very well the many headaches a passenger encounters when booking cross border rail in Europe - no through tickets, inconsistent timetables etc. - anyone who follows my rail tweets will know these problems very well #EUYearOfRail
The Bahntest then takes 6 example routes:
Hamburg - Stockholm
Berlin - Amsterdam
Berlin - Gdańsk
Frankfurt - Marseille
München - Roma
München - Budapest
and examines them in detail...

Jeeeez. This interview with the boss of the to-be-merged Eurostar-Thalys… a few comments in a 🧵 #euyearofrail
A common booking site will save them €1 million *a month*

Whaaat?

Either Thalys’s site or Eurostar’s cost €1 million a month to run? For the basic services each offers? 🤯

And Eurostars stay blue, ex-Thalys trains red. Coherent branding that! 😜
ROFL 🤣 . The executive of a SNCF controlled rail group saying it’ll be fine if a rival respects the rules. You mean the rule that no one should rival SNCF? And he says this with a straight face?

OK

So the final leg of my #BerlinBledBerlin is turning into a bit of a nightmare on DB ICEs

So here's my personal rating of all the types of ICE!

A 🧵 to cause controversy in the #BahnBubble!
RANK 1️⃣

ICE 2
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICE_2

vMax 280km/h (good)
The best quality ride, airy carriages, and these are the quietest ICEs (no motors whirring) and there's a proper Bordrestaurant
RANK 2️⃣

IC3 / Baureihe 403

vMax 300km/h (v good!)
One of these on the Köln-Frankfurt HSL is a joy, and the interior is good and being modernised. Ride is a bit bouncy. The best looking ICEs too

The text of the German Corona "Digitale Einreiseanmeldung" confirmation is *really poor*

#BerlinBledBerlin

It's all written as if it were intended for unvaccinated travellers, but 70+% of people arriving are going to be vaccinated...
They'd do better to show this instead
And what country is a "Hochrisikogebiet"? Of course that's *not linked* from the system of filling in the form... but is available from the RKI here rki.de/DE/Content/Inf…

🇮🇹 is the latest country to consider ordering new night train carriages - the @railjournal article talks of 70 carriages 👇


But what's happening here? Some European countries are starting to wonder about night train stock

A 🧵
So who - other than 🇮🇹 - is having similar thoughts?

🇫🇷 Government acknowledges new night train carriages are needed to achieve the aims set out in this report 👇
ecologie.gouv.fr/remise-letude-…
🇸🇪 is considering ordering new night train carriages for services to Northern Sweden 👇
