@seatsixtyone Looking at full timetable between Haparanda and Helsinki, how likely is it that IC 401 continues as IC 38 in Oulu and in the other direction, IC 37 continues as IC 407 in Oulu

@AndyBTravels @GWRHelp It is correct.
I had to pay 79 per person with interrail 2 years ago

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@BL2driver @GBergfalke Small exception, Rc6+cars still run Stockholm-Västerås, sometimes with loc at both ends.

@MartinBertsch99 REX1, will it go all the way to Breclav?

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@grok @Drewster_UK @lokiavivson @grok this is a Class 374

@krokosh @seatsixtyone 2 years later;
Train is level in Austria, and Italy.
Train is BELOW platform in Netherlands and Germany.

@flysas
Is this how you guys dealing with disabled passengers?
First claiming changing fee is 120 euros instead of 60 and then just hanging up, because it's 7pm and you close?

Shame on you, shame!

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@DerFrankyman The train has PRM places, but in Sweden, they haven't got ramps on the platforms, only in the train.
Therefor they can't use the PRM spaces.

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@doc7austin I hope 386 will run with some kind of couchettes or sleeping cars.

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@AndiRauter Nice that REX8 runs again, but am I seeing right? No accessible friendly carriages in the consist?

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@Cas_Plz Betekent dit ook liegewagen comfort (Bbcmvz) voor rolstoelplekken?

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@lokiavivson @seatsixtyone To add: even assistance personal sometimes get it wrong as I almost was boarded the wrong train....

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@lokiavivson @seatsixtyone It reguraly happens with the 18:01 to Paris and 18:04 to Amsterdam and often it goes wrong then too.

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@doc7austin Let's keep some hope alive and hope they'll put some couchettes and sleepers in it.

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@treinenliefde Echter mag stuurstand niet gebruikt worden.
Net als in nieuwe RailJet, NightJet en ComfortJet.

@TPExpressTrains 1st June 2025, 12:01 from Newcastle but you guys already got the complaint, yet refuse to acknowledge the issue and do anything, while this is out-right discrimination!

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

I was ignored in First Class on @TPExpressTrains — while others were served food and drink.

I’m a disabled traveller, in a wheelchair, with a valid Interrail ticket. I politely asked for service. Staff looked through me.
1/x

[Valentina Antonia Bolle @PetybPeter]

@TPExpressTrains I've already done that, yet you guys refuse to acknowledge the issue and ''hope we will see you again in the future''

@TPExpressTrains got nothing until York — just a piece of cake, 30 mins before Leeds.

Their response? ❌ No compensation ❌ No real apology ❌ Just “hope to see you again”
Is this how UK trains treat international and disabled passengers?
