@EU_Commission thanks for ignoring Poland ;)

@EU_Commission You don't even know how passionate I am about trains #NowTräwelling

@EU_Commission how about Poland to Latvia, Estland, Lettland?

@EU_Commission
Too bad we don't have a direct high-speed connexion from Lisboa to Scandinavia and the Baltics.

@EU_Commission
And what about Estonia, Lituania, Lettonia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece ? 👀

@EU_Commission great initiative. A pity there is nothing happening in #Poland and #BalticStates though

@EU_Commission I might know a few people…

@EU_Commission We need to move more towards a locomotive & carriage model, where I can go to sleep in the Copenhagen --> Barcelona carriage and be shuttled by various inter-city locomotives towards the final destination. The origin-->final destination model will never scale to replace planes. Let's be ambitious!

@EU_Commission I would be passionate about trains if they were affordable to EU citizens. 🙄

@EU_Commission ahí falta mucho tren, gran parte de la periferia de la unión esta totalmente desaparecida.
España y Portugal estarían muy mal comunicadas con el centro, Italia del sur también, Grecia ni está ni se la espera, Polonia, y los países bálticos ídem.

Esta propuesta no conecta nada, solo une lo que ya de por si está muy conectado. No añade, a mi modo de ver, una novedad con respecto a lo preexistente.

@EU_Commission 🙋‍♀️

@EU_Commission I hope I can see the Lisbon Madrid connection in my lifetime, but I'm not holding my breath for it

@EU_Commission Cool how this plan ignores almost every EU country east of stockholm🙂

@EU_Commission That disconnected Prague 🥲

@EU_Commission If that graphic shows anything than that this isn't good enough. No connection Paris to Berlin, or Brussels-Berlin, so many obvious and important places just not connected properly.

@EU_Commission What are sources and methodology? Coming from #Prague #Czechia I always thought we have good connection with #Europe. I was almost sure there are daytrains to at least #Vienna, #Warsaw, #Budapest, #Bratislava served by national railways.

Plus you can already get from Paris to both Madrid and Barcelona by train.

@EU_Commission British trains can barely get us from the Midlands to London, so let's not get too excited about this yet.

Sieht leider aus als würden Rhein-Main- und Ruhrgebiet weiträumig umfahren.

(5 Jahre nach Köln bahngependelt, ahne also warum.)

Wobei das nur neue Strecken sind? Ich erinnere mich, dass jeden Montag morgen in Essen ein Zug nach Paris auf dem Nachbargleis stand.
