My 🇩🇪
#Germany 🚅
diagram has been updated for 2026! It focuses on long-distance train lines that run at least three times a day. Providing a more interpretable alternative to #DB 's official #IC and #ICE diagram with a stronger focus on the system (regularly running connections and their frequency instead of the sole line definition) was my initial motivation for starting creating diagrams a couple of years ago.

I have never used anything like this strange 'transport thing' before. It's a combination of a vertical lift and a horizontal funicular, and it can be found in Genoa.

My unofficial 🇫🇷
#TGV diagram has got an update for 2026. Once again, not much has changed.
This is my personal attempt to unravel the #French high-speed rail system, if only a little. The highly radial network means that the diagram varies greatly in density. Around Paris, TGV Intersecteur trains have to be grouped together, but there is space for symbols representing important landmarks.

Happy New Year! I'm starting the 2026 railway year with my updated 🇦🇹
Austria long-distance rail diagram. Due to the opening of the #Koralmbahn, #ÖBB has reorganised its long-distance services on the Südbahn and in the Alps. #Westbahn will introduce new services between Vienna and Villach in April.

The advantage of this route is that I can change to the IC 🇩🇪 Flensburg - 🇩🇰
Fredericia, which doesn't require a seat reservation. Otherwise I would habe ended in the often crowded EuroCity Hamburg-Copenhagen. But more importantly, it is a DSB MF/IC3 also known as 'rubber nose', which is one of the most cozy train I have ever been on! #BlankSpots
Tog er fantastiske! 😍
(Trains are fantastic!) #BlankSpots
The Kiel-Flensburg line provides a curiosity. Due to the construction of a new bridge across the Schlei and the poor condition of the old one, the Schlei can only be crossed on foot. The train line isndisrupted and has two terminus station on both ends of the brdige. This may be inconvenient for locals, but is randomly interesting to me. #BlankSpots

Lars at a train station so early in the morning... That means it's going to be an eventful day. 👀
