We can talk about Dublin's urban rail system later. Now is the time for my first train ride in 🇮🇪🇮🇪 Ireland, an Intercity service from Dublin Connolly station. We booked free seat reservations for our Interrail trip. However, the gates won't open with the corresponding QR code, despite it being stated in the PDF. Apparently, you have to show your Interrail pass to the staff at the gates. Our seat reservations aren't displayed above the seats, and even the train manager doesn't know why. #BlankSpots

Having already shown the double-decker buses in Great Britain, I feel obliged to post the Irish counterparts as well. There are, of course, many of them. I can also share some additional impressions of #Dublin in that way. #BlankSpots

Well, it's time for me to take my first steps in 🇮🇪🇮🇪 Ireland! #BlankSpots

Unsurprisingly, our journey continues from Holyhead to Dublin. Thanks to Stena Line, I am confident that my ferry will run on time today. Check-in and boarding by bus are both flawless. The crossing takes three hours. #BlankSpots

The second chapter of #BlankSpots begins on the busy platform 13/14 at Manchester Piccadilly. We take a transport for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales service towards Holyhead. However, we change at Chester to an Avanti train bound for Holyhead for more long-distance train feeling. Despite - or because of - my first class Interrail, this will turn out to be a bad idea.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Wales is beautiful. At least I've heard it is. #Avanti #BlankSpots

For the first time, I have managed to update all eleven of my country #train diagrams for the same year! And it's only May!😊😊 Represented are: 🇦🇹🇦🇹🇧🇪🇧🇪🇩🇰🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇷🇫🇷🇩🇪🇩🇪🇱🇺🇱🇺🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇴🇳🇴🇸🇪🇸🇪🇨🇭🇨🇭
I started making the diagrams because I missed the (useful) official ones and wanted a planning guide for my travels. I hope they help you too when travelling through central or northern
🇪🇺🇪🇺 #Europe (or whatever you need them for)!

My unofficial 🇫🇷🇫🇷 #TGV map 2025 is online! It covers all 🚅🚅 high speed trains in #France like the TGV, Ouigo, Eurostar and Frecciarossa. It is my personal attempt to unravel the French high speed rail system.

A month ago, I had the opportunity to go on a train trip through beautiful 🇫🇮🇫🇮 #Finland. So it is time to post my updated Finland 🚂🚂 transit diagram of 2025. It shows all #VR and HSL services. Have fun browsing it.
