 Night Train Map in Europe (2024), https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-map/. This is an interactive map: each line is clickable and brings information about all the stops, schedules, frequency and the company operating this line. That’s pure beauty. Combined with InterRail, it’s so much travel freedom and opportunities in Europe!   41 comments
 @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 @sargontrek I heard it’s being discussed since many years but I don’t know what’s the current status. @b0rn_dead It’s a disaster on mobile, agree. On a large screen, you also have to zoom the page, not the map, to get a better understanding. It’s a detail though, the database exists!  @hywan @b0rn_dead  @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) @floooh Climate change has provoked sea level increase, resulting in the disparition of some islands.  @econads @davidou Then it might be interesting to ping the authors of this database, https://back-on-track.eu/night-train-list/, thoughts?  @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 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. https://github.com/badele/qgis-starter-kit/blob/master/styles/bike_path_metro/bike_path_metro.jpeg   @hywan I took some Interrail like two decades ago and the night trains were way more than today.   @hywan nice map! Can't wait for the Amsterdam Barcelona connection!  @hywan since I moved to southern Italy from Holland I keep noticing how many maps of Europe stop somewhere above Rome @markhburton @hywan To be honest I never clicked through, I took the maps in the message at face value. But on my laptop it does work. |
