It’s silly how the creator put Northern Ireland the same colour as Ireland instead of the UK
That Lisbon to Madrid/Bordeaux line is painful. Portugal really needs to quickly get a high speed rail connecting Lisbon to Madrid.
No rail connection between Warsaw and Vilnius is criminal
Why is Stockholm-Kiruna so slow compared to Helsinki-Rovaniemi?
Is the railway between Subotica and Novi Sad already repaired? Because this year in summer, it wasn’t
It’s stupid Finland doesn’t have a straight line from Helsinki to Rovaniemi through Jyväskylä (central Finland). Meaning, if someone wants to go to Lapland by train, they need to go from Jyväskylä to Tampere (to the south-west from Jyväskylä) and from there to Rovaniemi.
There is a track from Jyväskylä to the north, but it’s only for freight transports.
Waait we have a route from Budapest to Ljubljana through Murakeresztúr? MÁV people, where you at?
For some reason, Amsterdam to Luxembourg takes a lot longer by train (6.5+ hours) than car as there’s no direct train,
There is a rail line from Helsinki thru eastern Finland to Oulu.. Slower trains and buses connect the east and west lines. To be fair, it has been a while.. a decade since i lived in the east, so it can be that the line is not continuous anymore. But in general south-north is fast and easy, east to west is slow and more complicated. I live along the western main line, there is usually suitable train going to either direction every 2 hours.
This map is not up-to-date, the Rennes-Paris line is only 1h30… So I can’t know if the rest is correct or not…
Funny how both Frankfurt-Paris and Frankfurt-Basel show as having a travel time of 3:55…
but the latter rail segment (Rheintalbahn) looks half as long on the map as the former (TGV Est).
* Bucharest – Budapest 640km 15 hours
* Bucharest – Istanbul 440km 18 hours
For comparison:
* Paris – Marseille 640 km 3 hours 30
* Paris – Bordeaux 440 km 3 hours 15

Notice how Finnish railways are deliberately designed to go to the West each time. For example, during the 30s, the Helsinki-Viipuri line was very odd and the line curved North from Helsinki and then ran South somewhere near Imatra, basically a weird loop designed to deterr attacking forces from getting the important line of Viipuri to Helsinki from the East

Ljubljana – Budapest doesn’t take 9:45, its 7:35.
