Once again, a companion thread to @jon's #CrossBorderRail journeys - this time, an exhibition about Romanian Kursbücher!

…Well, it's a bit late, it turned out it took 3~4 evenings to write… I spent way, way too much time on this

On the way from Beclean to Suceava last week, Jon inspired me to do some research and while information about Romania's railway history is apparently scarce online, timetables are an exception - thanks to the efforts of one Marius Ionescu (who appears to be active on VagonWeb, too), Timetable World has a great collection of CFR paper timetables available for online viewing! And it turns out there's a lot of interesting and cute things I'd like to showcase in there.

(This thread was originally going to include screenshots until I realized the potential copyright implications. It was then going to include links to the particular pages until I realized the potential privacy implications (since I have to generate them and they only contain a UUID that tells the server to look something up, well…). So, mostly text and links to individual timetable books are going to have to do. (I mean, I know that's not a super-ultra great guarantee either, but I am still complelled to at least try))

This image captures the intricate web of train movements at Manchester Piccadilly, illustrating the organized chaos that underpins urban transport networks. The digital representation of interconnected routes and live timing reflects the dynamic flow of city life and travel.

Sometimes, when your original flight is canceled and you're rerouted on via the northern tip or Europe, you might happen to fly via :) Which, by the way, it's a nice experience: airport is clean, well organized, bright and, in these times of no-fly above Russia, not crowded at all.
