The year 2024 brought some changes to Austria: The Westbahn increased the number of connections to Innsbruck. A new daily connection to Bregenz was also introduced. It has more stops than the RailjetXpress connections, such as Hohenems, Frastanz or Nenzing. The daily connection from Innsbruck to Bregenz, Stuttgart and further to Germany is now realised … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Austria 2024
Rail Network of Belgium 2024
The timetable change in December 2023 brought few changes for Belgium. The suburban trains around Liège have been reorganised: The S41 line now forms the Euregioaixpress, as it has been extended to Aachen Hbf instead of the L train from Spa. In addition, the S53 line has been extended from Ghent to Oudenaarde. Another new … Continue reading Rail Network of Belgium 2024
High-Speed Rail in France 2024
My high-speed rail France map has got an update for 2024. There have not been major changes concerning the high-speed connections. However, already in autumn 2023, the brands of Eurostar and Thalys have been merged. I have kept the colour yellow for Eurostar and former Thalys connections, because there are already two shades of blue … Continue reading High-Speed Rail in France 2024
Rail Network of Denmark 2024
This 2024 map of rail in Denmark includes only a few changes compared to the 2023 version. The number of regional trains between Roskilde and København H has been decreased, while the direct regional trains to Helsingør have been reorganised. In addition, the tangential regional train from Lufthavn Kastrup to Slagelse is extended to Odense … Continue reading Rail Network of Denmark 2024
Long-distance Rail in Switzerland 2024
Voilà the new version of the long-distance rail map of Switzerland 2023. The design remains unchanged apart from adjusting some radii. The most obvious change is the introduction of numbers for every long-distance (and non-long-distance RE) line. Some lines have got an official specific colour, which I also applied in my map. However, two events … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Switzerland 2024
Long-distance Night Trains in Germany 2024
Corresponding to the changes on the long-distance rail map 2024, I have also adapted the layout of the night trains map. The enlarged size of the map allows a clearer layout of the lines especially at nodes in contrast to the map of 2023. This is important, as the number of night trains is increasing … Continue reading Long-distance Night Trains in Germany 2024
Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
For the 2024 version of the long-distance rail map in Germany, I have totally rebuilt the map. It still shows the systematic long-distance trains in Germany (e.g. all connections that run at least three times daily). As the number and variety of connections is increasing, the main axes count more and more lines, whereas the … Continue reading Long-distance Rail in Germany 2024
High-Speed Rail in France 2023
This high-speed rail map is my first non-octolinear transit map. The highly centralised high-speed rail network is the perfect occasion to escape the 45° angle structure. Instead, the network map is divided into five sectors surrounding Paris. In each sector, there is a central ray and an orthogonal axis to it. In addition, there are … Continue reading High-Speed Rail in France 2023
Long-Distance Trains in Switzerland 2023
Finally, I have managed to update the long-distance train map of Switzerland 2022. There have only been a few changes compared to the previous map. In december 2022, the IC lines from Basel and Romanshorn to Interlaken and Brig (IC 6, IC 8 and IC 61) have been reorganised. A new line IC 81 has … Continue reading Long-Distance Trains in Switzerland 2023
Train Network of Belgium 2023
Belgium has joined my map collection, as I could not find a nice network train map anywhere. I wanted to create a map that covers both Belgiums long-distance and regional trains, because the stopping frequencies of the long-distance (Intercity) and regional trains (L and S) are similar in some regions. As the rail network is … Continue reading Train Network of Belgium 2023
