All onboard a night train! 🚆 Rail is one of the most sustainable means of transport we have, but cross-border trips account for just 7% of the kilometres travelled by train. This is why we are supporting 10 pilot projects to create new international train connections in the EU. They will help us improve the quality of service and make them a viable option for more people.Discover all the upcoming routes here ➡️ https://europa.eu/!v6b776 📷 AdobeStock #EuropeanUnion #ConnectingEurope

@EU_Commission Thank you for including the #AltText with the photos you used! Much appreciated! Could you (your communications department) *please* ask all of the other institutions to do the same on their social media, and especially on Mastodon!

@EU_Commission The EU should work on making rail more affordable, and preferably, standardized. Imagine having a ticket/subscription that you can use to travel the whole EU?

@EU_Commission People of the EU probably love what you did with mobile phones and roaming fees. But travelling by train cross border in Europe is still a MAJOR hassle and also a mix of rules regulation and ticketing systems. If I have an Interrail pass and DB charges €3 for a seat reservation. Is it reasonable for another company to charge €32 for the same service?There’s loads to do in this space.

@EU_Commission @harphat This is great.But it would be really, really great if you could get train operators to co-ordinate their services to make cross-border travel a mundane everyday convenience rather than an epic adventure. @jon

@EU_Commission Taking Thalys from Paris to Brussels and then to Amsterdam was the highlight of my 2017 trip to Europe from Canada.While I won't be crossing the ocean again, because of climate change, your rail system is a marvel that I wish I could have brought home with me!

@EU_Commission Connecting WHICH Europe? The central, same-as-always Europe?More-than-neighbours Galicia & northern Portugal have been waiting for a proper train connection for over half a century (to say the least!)

@EU_Commission Paris - Stuttgart - Munich - Salzburg - Vienna is a connection which still needs more regular "direct" trains - but I am looking forward to more Night trains. Or one day the InterConnect from Lisboa to Madrid to Paris to Brussels to Berlin to Warsaw to Riga (and if the Baltic tunnel is done to Helsinki)

@EU_Commission That's awesome news. Having to change trains is painful, especially on international routes, and this will help. One more step toward avoiding air travel, for sure.Personally, I'm excited about that Venice - Paris option, which can give me a reason to connect in Venice between train and ferry on the way from Greece to France.

@EU_Commission how about actually making companies provide good, useful, and affordable cross border high speed connections?LAV Perpinyà - Figueres sees only a few trains a daythe ICE from Brussels to Frankfurt is overpriced to shit and the trains on the route are literally falling apartalso many european high speed lines have a tendency to just end at the border, maybe work on that?how about actually coordinating rail construction and train operation on a European level, even beyond just the TEN-T corridors?

@EU_Commission things are far worse over here in North America. I'm excited to be taking the train to and from my fall vacation with my wife and friends but on average, train travel isn't even an option for most people in #Canada, despite being a country built around rail.Good luck! Keep being an example.#trains #publicTransportation

@EU_Commission reliability is still a problem imho. We took a night train from Amsterdam to Zurich, but on the way back the sleeper cars were missing and everyone was just forced into coach. Not exactly making us want to risk it again in the future, or reassuring us.
