Fucking love trains. Zipping through Europe with 200 km/h while sipping my coffee and getting some work done. From Hamburg to Zurich. City center to city center. No annoying queues or xray checks. Powered by renewable energy. This is the future. #sustainability #trains #publictransportation
Well, now they just need them to leave in time, or at all...
That would be Nice. Like, really Nice.

“Fly like a demon from station to station”
If only the US would get on board with this concept… So to speak.
@can more trains for everyone! 
@can I enjoyed the heck out of my time in Italy using these to get around. Watching the train slow down to use tunnels, then open the throttle back up on the straights. Cars on the highway moving backwards in relation.
@can As one of the poor sods stuck on Perfectly Normal Island, my levels of envy are currently very high.
@can my only fear is that once train travel becomes more commonplace (which is unavoidable, at least in Europe) we will see the same queues and security checks as in airports. In Israel for example, they have those at intercity bus stops
@can Trains are great! I would however question that they are powered by renewable energy. Purchasing green energy means that you are purchasing a certificate, but you’re nevertheless still powered by the electricity that is available on the grid, which in Germany contains a significant fraction of electricity produced by burning coal.
@jknodlseder yes, of course where the actual electrons come from is something different. But the more orgs and people buy renewable energy, the faster we can shift the electricity mix to 100% renewable (at least in theory 
)
@can The problem is that the certificate market is far from saturation, hence it creates basically zero incentive for the development of more renewable capacity. Best is to invest money in a cooperative that develops renewables locally, in that way one can be sure that new capacity is actually deployed.
