This is Mexico’s newest interurban train: El Insurgente 🚆🇲🇽 I tried it yesterday between Santa Fe and Zinacantepec, and this is commuter rail done RIGHT! Except for a few things, it’s an amazing new service that will definitely help reduce traffic 🚫🚗 Here’s a thread 🧵

Earlier this week, I traveled on the #TrenMaya between Campeche and Cancun in the heart of the Yucatán Peninsula 🇲🇽 There’s so much to say about this new service, but one thing’s for sure: the Tren Maya will deeply transform the region. Here’s an honest thread about it 🧵👇

Yesterday, I finally traveled on what is probably the most scenic railway line in Europe: the line between Bar in Montenegro 🇲🇪 and Belgrade in Serbia 🇷🇸 I’ve heard about this line for years, and all the hype was 100% validated ✅ Here’s a thread about this journey 🧵

Last week, I traveled on the Rocky Mountaineer’s "First Passage to the West" between Vancouver and Banff, right in the heart of the Canadian Rockies 🇨🇦🏔️ This is probably the best rail journey of my life. Words fail me, but "insanity" seems fitting 🤯 Here’s a thread 🧵 👇

Belgrade 🇷🇸 to Sofia 🇧🇬 by train in 2024? That’s what I attempted yesterday, and oh boy, it was painful (yes, I’m looking at you, Serbian infrastructure 👀) Here’s a thread 🧵

#NightjetOnTour - COUCHETTE REVIEW 🌙🚆🇦🇹 This is the biggest innovation onboard the new Nightjet, the couchette car is equipped with private compartment called « mini-cabin » and this is the first we’ve seen an innovation like this in the train industry since decades… 🧵 👇

North America vs Europe in terms of rail electrification (black is for non electrified lines, colors are for electrified lines) Spoiler alert, one map is depressing 🫠

This morning I took the new #Eurocity service between Brussels and Paris, the classic way 🇧🇪🚆🇫🇷 Despite being twice as long as @Eurostar via the high-speed line, this train is a godsend. Here’s why it’s a good thing … A thread 🧵

Yesterday, I traveled from Brașov in Romania 🇷🇴 to Budapest in Hungary 🇭🇺 on a little-known night train—the IC #Corona (yes, that’s its name) And let me tell you why it’s probably the BEST way to travel by night train between the two countries… Here’s a thread 🧵

As for the frequency—there’s a train every 15 minutes, every day from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM No peak or off-peak hours. You just show up at the station, and within 15 minutes max, you’ll have a train! AS IT SHOULD BE! This is the only way to get people out of their cars 🚗
