#Brussels 🇧🇪 in March 2002: an #SNCB #NMBS Class 20 electric is seen here with a #EuroCity consist. This used to be the usual setup for loco-hauled trains on the line to #Luxembourg 🇱🇺 for many years: the six-axle Class 20 was able to develop the power necessary on the gradients of the #Ardennes line.

Manic day, so no time for a full analysis of the European Sleeper to run Paris-Berlin night trains from Spring 2026, so just this quick thread
Important: chances this happens are GOOD, upwards of 80%
Chances it can’t launch in spring and start is delayed is higher than it not happening at all

Should I offset my flight?
Airlines are quick to claim that you can ‘fly carbon neutral’ if you just pay a little bit for an offset. But is that really the case?
