New research from the Department for #Transport (DfT) shows that leisure travel is now the most common reason people travel by #train. It also highlights midweek commuting, with Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays being the busiest days. The #railway is vital for connecting people for work, education, healthcare, and leisure, supporting economic growth.
The report found 54% of passengers travel for leisure, 30% for work or education, and 15% for business. The government is investing in a major overhaul of the rail network, moving towards public ownership and the creation of Great British Railways (GBR).
Despite challenges like delays and cancellations, the government is working to improve service reliability and has introduced new performance measures at 1,700 stations. Rail revenue has seen growth, with over one million tickets sold during the latest rail sale, indicating strong demand for train travel.

@sebwilken und die Entwicklung schaut für auch traurig aus. #train #öbb #pkp
To #Albania I took the night ferry from #Bari to #Durres, then the bus to #Tirana. The trip was great, but the bus was … interesting
For short holidays, I'm mostly too lazy to travel at all, but if I do, I chose destinations ≤ 500 km or better ≤ 200 km, so that #train remains a viable option. But then I need a nice destination and it gets harder around here, because of Nazis
In #Europe, I always travel by #train. In the past, that has involved e.g. two #nighttrains (with beds) per direction and a total travel time of ≈ 50 hours each way.
I vote "50 hours"!
However, I also travelled to America and Asia. To America there is no train. To Asia it's very complicated and expensive. Travelling by container ship is even more expensive and takes weeks. To both destinations, I took the plane

Je viens de tester #KDE Itinerary, dispo sur F-droid et ça m'a l'air d'être une tuerie de praticité !
J'ai importé le PDF de mon train, il a chopé les infos du voyage (dates, gares, places dans le train, QRcode) et a créé un voyage dans sa base avec toutes ces infos.
La killer feature : l'onglet « Ticket courant » qui présente le QRcode du trajet en cours, ou le plus proche si le voyage n'a pas commencé.
Je sens que ça va me simplifier la vie de ouf !
They both take you to the harbour.
