I believe this is the pair at GC, which have been out and about every day.

New route, so thought I'd give them a second chance. 1791300926 There's currently a whole YouTube genre of going on a train and explaining what happens with emotive storytelling, rather than just describing everything that happened in the exact order in which it happened, like a robot...

We eventually left 166 minutes late. The Prague train was showing as over 3 hours late. Good stuff! 1791239587 Despite having an opportunity to make up to 2hr of delay, we have made up just 20 minutes. Could be worse, as the Prague train is running about 5hr late. Deeply unserious mess.

If you're talking about the Milan, it came in 121 late, which obviously does reduce the turnaround time as you say, but only down to around 3.5 hours

Currently stood in Brussels South Station, awaiting the European Sleeper to Milan. It was meant to leave one hour ago. The service to Prague is currently showing as 2.5 hours late. Once again, this is quite a reliable service, and I can't see why anyone would be negative about this experience.

Given that most of their early days publicity consisted of them asking for money (and some of it still is), yes.

A year early is no bad thing. Some of their publicity refers to 2029 for the new carriages too, and it could well be a lot later, given how close these dates really are... 1790956563 Nox feels like a more serious operation from what I experienced at my pre-launch visit. In comparison, European...

They fit 30 seats per carriage in this configuration, with the future rooms fitting 38 beds per carriage. That latter number is very close to a full 4-bed couchette configuration, but with 100% private rooms. Charge an average €100 for that, with a few carriages, then the extra services at...

Yes, I think providing a picture of something the public can actually access might be an idea.

I don't believe anything that exists is permitted, whether or not you could theoretically make something powerful enough to run on it is another question!

For some reason, the DB Navigator app and presumably also the DB website is now selling UK railway fares. Here are a few photos from a sample search I made from Plymouth to Exeter. Tickets are priced in Euro, and there seems to be a fairly hefty markup. There are also no Railcard discounts...

And how is that calculated?

Hearing that the Brussels to Milan service was cancelled this evening. Once again, this is quite reliable and I can't see why anyone would be negative about this.

Ahhh. Let me check. 1789198327 Yes.

They are required to have two locos for turning around in Milan. I doubt the ex-DB Cargo 193 is meant to go to Milan, as there would be nothing for it to partner with. Also Arenaways are using their own locos for this.

The European Sleeper to Milan seems to have arrived with a delay of about 250 minutes. The return working is going out about 120 minutes late. Meanwhile, the other services paint a much brighter picture, with last night's Prague to Brussels departure reportedly arriving 5hr late, after starting...

I thought this was another souped up X'Trapolis. Like the ones in Mexico. What even is an Adessia Max and Adessia Coach? Isn't the Stream an Avelia Stream or Coradia Stream?

Another new long-distance product for the UK railway market, as TPE orders 29x new 5 car units from Alstom. https://x.com/philatrail/status/2098154561911369884?s=20

Tonight's inaugural Brussels to Milan service is currently running around 3 hours late, if it has even left. Quite reliable!

Yes. This is definitely a 5th(?) base cushion variant. And it looks absolutely massive, and pretty good too. Though I don't think legroom will do well from this.
