Ok. It’s a vending machine. But what a vending machine and system! You can get excellent coffee, @sudostbahn branded beer and wine and… errr… polenta with mushrooms to cook at home!

The first class is extraordinary - super seats and massive windows. Second class also very good. Stadler & @sudostbahn - I like this *a lot*

It’s too early for beer. But a Voralpen Express coffee does just fine!

Sorry @sob_ch I cited the wrong Twitter handle earlier! Your train is still fantastic meanwhile 🙂

I’ve now crossed all of the borders for today!

It took me 15 mins to cycle from St Margrethen 🇨🇭 to Lustenau 🇦🇹 and 4 mins by train back. This is the rail bridge, and the road customs posts

I’m now travelling on my own again. Thanks for the good conversations in Bern and on the SBB & SOB trains @pdfguru @AufGleis13 @Felyxorez @AdamTywoniak @_wrzlbrnft_ @ChSieberGasser Philip Gasser and Till Burckhardt!

There’s a woman with a permanent scowl on her face reading an astrology magazine - and she’s occupying the only seat in this carriage with the nice window views approaching Landeck Zams. And she’s never looking up to enjoy this!

Ah 😎

I might be in Austria, but @db_bahn chaos can reach me here too!

My planned train later Schwarzach St Veit - Villach delayed at least 90 mins due to chaos in Germany

Luckily @unsereOEBB is putting on a 🚌 at Schwarzach! 💪
