    Athens to Thessaloniki Trains

    Quick question on this one, I understand trains are diesel hauled throughout on this route, when is this expected to end? I believe there are repairs being made to the line after a storm, which have been ongoing for quite a while?

    Was wondering if anyone could confirm whether or not the summer Koper to Budapest trains will be 363 hauled in Slovenia? I know one is now showing on Vagonweb as such but thought had heard a rumour likely to be 541s this year. Any info much appreciated.

    V200s in Italy

    Just seen two yellow V200s in Verona but, as seems to be normal with infrastructure locos, there are absolutely no identifications on the locos.

    Concrete Electrification Masts

    I've noticed a lot of concrete electrification masks in various countries in mainland Europe, can anyone explain why, please?

    New DB website

    What a pile of junk the new DB website is. On the old one I could click on a station and it would give me all departures for next hour; not any more unless someone has worked out how to do it? Are there any other timetable sites that I can use as DB one is no good anymore?

    I know there was the Black Friday offer; usually have an offer on interrail tickets around New Year but seen nothing yet. Anyone know if there are likely to be offers on soon or is that not happening this year?
