Jon Worth<p>The S-Bahn S3 I am taking to Bleiburg takes the first part of what will become the Koralmbahn high speed line from December this year. It's going to be an amazing transformation for this region - with Graz-Klagenfurt in just 45 minutes, and implications for AT-SI and AT-IT <a href="https://gruene.social/tags/CrossBorderRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CrossBorderRail</span></a> as well.</p>

Raph V.<p>For the very last leg of this summer&#39;s Cross Border Interrail trip, we got stranded in a tunnel (in an ICNG train, supposedly more reliable than the TRAXX sandwiches they are replacing) Thankfully the driver applied the old IT wisdom of resetting the system and only got about 15 minutes of delay so we could make it home!</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Interrail" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Interrail</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CrossBorderRail" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CrossBorderRail</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/NS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NS</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ICNG" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ICNG</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/train" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>train</span></a></p>
