I was wondering if there were viable routes to use overnight sleeper trains in Schengen showdown similar to arctic escape.
Do any of you beautiful travel nerds have insight on routs? Are there any European sleeper trains where you can end the game day in one country and start the next game day in another country?
The new icons look really nice. I know this has been a pain point for you Dave so just want to say I appreciate the effort. It has been noticed.
I’m interested in what your city’s bus network looks like for sporting events. Do they divert the route and for how long? Do they have shuttles? Do they run peak service? Do they close down roads but still let busses through?
I’m not that interested in how the rail system works for sporting events because it usually works great if you have it.
The reason I’m asking is because my experience last year was that busses would “divert as needed” meaning you may be at the correct stop or you may not. It was worthless. And considering it had hourly service it sucked even more when the bus diverted right in front of me.
If you found the video about Lagos’ growing population interesting you might be interested in the story of how Lagos bought their Redline Train sets from Wisconsin after a failed HSR initiative. This podcast from NPR is a great listen https://www.wpr.org/wpr-reports/derailed
Why does Amtrak make us line up at terminal stations? My only real reference point is Metra. But I don’t think European operators make people line up to board do they?
