OK, so phases 1 & 2 of the annual Seat61 European Timetable update are completed. Which pretty much means the site is usable for planning trips in 2024...

Damaged by a derailed freight train in August, the Gotthard Base Tunnel was originally expected to resume normal service from January 2024.
It could now be September. 7 km of trackbed needs complete replacement.
Tempi molto lunghi per il ritorno alla piena normalità nel #Gottardo.

Dear @seatsixtyone, do you know why it's not possible to buy tickets for many trains between Basel/Zürich & Milan for after (and partly before) the timetable change? Is the change not completely implemented yet, or disturbances Domodossola-Milan or Gotthard tunnel? Thank you!

P.S. results for Basel-Milano & vice versa on Trenitalia include connection that assumes a portal between Steinen near Arth-Goldau & Steinen, Baden Württemberg. It's one of the fastest and cheapest connections, on sale since summer. I wonder how many tourists have been stranded?

People in the Middle Ages knew the earth was round, as you can see from this 900 year old drawing.
So where did the myth come from that Medieval people thought the earth was flat?
Well, it was once an important part of America's national identity...

Finally getting back to organising more travel for my class, this time for a country I've never taken a train in - @seatsixtyone saves the day once again!

.@seatsixtyone Hello! I have a mystery and was wondering if you could help me solve it please. The connection below (for 21.06.2023) shows up on sbb.ch but neither on oebb nor cd.cz. Do you know how I find out if it actually exists? Thank you!

I am going to take @brittlestar's words to heart.
Again, you don’t need to be in everyone’s face telling them how great you are. Sometimes you just need to give them a call or send a message.....just be nice. Read more here. substack.com/app-link/post?p…

The only problem here is that urban development/planning strategies reinforce this challenge. I am fortunate that I can walk, bike, & bus easily to and from work, but many people can’t afford to live this close to work. Housing close to where people work needs to be a priority.
