@hywan omg this is so cooooool

@hywan @girlonthenet Very nice! And those are only the *night* trains. There are high speed trains too, and regular intercity trains, and local trains to nice towns and villages… #trains #train

@hywan its a pity spain’s been taking them out over time

@hywan really cool initiative! Too bad it’s so hard to use on mobile. Will have to check back on a bigger screen.

@hywan I have this map on paper x)

@hywan some interesting landmass rendering issues where it's hard to decide whether it's a bug or intended ;)

(zooming in and out causes all sorts of similar issues - this is on macOS Chrome)

@hywan france disconnected from the rest of europe

@hywan As always in France, everything is built for Parisians, and the rest of the plebs can still count themselves lucky to have the right to use these unsuitable lines.

@hywan Thanks! Amazing to see that Ukraine has them in the thickest bunches. I guess our trains are so slow and distances so large that night trains are so much more attractive.

@hywan this is straight up data porn. I LOVE IT.

@hywan Wow, it's beautiful 😍

The map is interactive, but is it generated dynamically?

I love railway-style , but I can't find a good tool to create them.

In a project dedicated to mapping bike lanes, I wanted to simulate railway-style maps (which support zoom) using QGIS, but I couldn't manage to do it.

@hywan Apart from UK, seems like Finland and Norway are on island as well.

@hywan Edward Tufte would approve

@hywan
Ukraine. Just saying.

@hywan
And the one connection that would interest me does not exist.
@rail_

@hywan I took some Interrail like two decades ago and the night trains were way more than today.
