Interactive map of train routes around the world

Happy with all that thanks for your kind words.

By the way I have travelled in Norway several times and love the country.

I am glad to hear that! I haven't been to much in the UK besides London and Edinburgh, but I would love to explore more of the UK. Especially Scotland and Wales

Same as others, please take this as constructive.

Around Toulouse your little helper needs some help. Approaching from the south it has become distracted and fallen onto the tramway before getting excited by the still under construction metro line C to get to Matabiau. Would be worth telling it to extend the Latour-de-Carol line to Latour-de-Carol.

In Spain it is confused about the Levante LAV which actually serves Valencia, Alicante and the new extension to Murcia. Currently it has Valencia and Alicante on the old broad gauge routes.

In Portugal it is being creative; maybe it ran out of tokens. Lisboa-Guarda is via Covilha (when there are through trains, partly buses at present) so turns right at Entroncamento, not Pampilhosa. Porto AP/IC follows the same route as far as Entroncamento rather than the perhaps possible future line it has picked.

Rome-Lecce is the same route as Rome-Bari between Caserta and Benevento.

Similarly, Paris-Nice and Paris-Marseille are the same LGV. Do any TGV Inoui servce Aix-en-Provence any longer? It's probably showing the original route before the LGV was extended. Paris-Nice wandering through Nevers is a nice hallucination.

Thank you very much because the details you have given me will be helpful for tomorrow when I try to optimize further! I also notice that there are visible mistakes, but it is hard to locate all of them.

I am trying to make the trajectory most accurate as possible and it is an insanely difficult job I think, because AI is just stupid even if it is doing a job quickly. It is my job to give the AI feedback and good enough instructions so that it can finally land correctly. There are so many mistakes at the moment, but I think at the end it will be 100% worth it whenever it finally lands through.

I love the 'surprise me' feature. It's giving me so many ideas for future tips!

Thank you! It is very fun for me to use it whenever I am not working on the site, so I am glad that you also like it.

Back in Switzerland again...

• Not sure if it's really accurate to show the Golden Pass as a continuous route from Montreux to Luzern. At least one change is required in Interlaken, and at most times of day additional changes in Zweisimmen and Spiez are needed. The Interlaken to Luzern part is operated by a different company and is branded as the Luzern-Interlaken Express.

The so called 'Golden Pass route' was a creation of the 1980s when the number of tourist groups coming to Switzerland from outside Europe grew immensely. As most groups wanted to 'do' the 'big three' tourists areas - Luzern, the Interlaken / Jungfrau area and the Lake Geneva area, a 'through route' branding was created.

The problem was of course that the brand didn't match the technology. The SBB's metre gauge Bruenig pass line meets the standard gauge BLS at Interlaken Ost, from where the BLS trains ran to Zweisimmen. From Zweisimmen to Montreux it is the MOB (Montreux Oberland Bernois) railway, also metre gauge. So - three separate trains were required, with careful arrangement so that the trains met 'cross platform' (or as close as was possible) at Interlaken and Zweisimmen. Some sets of coaches were painted in a brown/cream 'Golden Pass' livery on the Brunig and BLS routes and (more sparingly) on the MOB - which likes its blue livery.

'Golden Pass' is a misnomer. It really only applies to the Montreux - Zweisimmen section (the original MOB) and originates from the Pullman train inaugurated in 1931 called the 'Golden Mountain Pullman Express'.

Thanks! The details are super helpful. I love details because it makes my job so much simpler. Slowly but surely the map can be fixed.
