Nice setup!
What do you think of DB‘s way of showing delays? I believe that it could be black, or should be orange/red (depending on the delay), but definitely not green under any circumstances other than exactly on time or early arrival.
ÖBB Scotty‘s solution is much more helpful, red = delay.
Screenshot of the ÖBB Scotty App, showing train connections between Wien Hbf and Salzburg Hbf, all on time except for a RJX 64 which is 4‘ delayed on departure and 1‘ delayed on arrival, both times in red.

#fensterauf on the Metro Line 1 of Athens. Above us the Tram Line 7.
Photo from outside a train window. The train is on the left, on the right is the opposite track, a dance, a street and some vegetation. On the background above, a bridge and an orange tram on top of it departing from a stop. The night sky is clear.

Last night there were two O405N buses at the terminus of trolley lines 5 & 14 in Galatsi, Athens. Both displaying route number 054 and with passengers onboard, but did not start any journey while I was nearby.
The important bit here is that neither 054, nor any other regular bus serve this stop.
Two Mercedes Benz O405N buses stopped at a trolley stop on a wide, two-way street. The second bus‘ lights are on and there’s a pedestrian crossing in front of the first bus. On the background 4-5 storey houses, trees and the dark sky. Screenshot from Apple Maps showing the location of the stop and the lines serving the stop.

Does anyone want to see some O405N buses? They recently replaced many YUTONG E12 e-Buses in Athens, I still don’t know the exact reason.
Thank god for batteries 🪫
An O405N bus on a narrow street with parked cars on either side. The bus is #560 and doing the route 054 Perissos - Lambrini - Omonoia. View from inside of a bus (O405N #658 on line 054). Two seats on the other side of the corridor and through the window, on a glass storefront is the reflection of the bus.

One of the two S-curves of the Kallidromo railway tunnel. The infrastructure here is significantly better, as it’s concrete. Although the tunnel‘s Vmax = 250 km/h, we’re only travelling at 140 km/h and are hauled by diesel locomotives (Class 220 ADtranz).

Es ist endlich vorbei. BusWorld in Bruxelles mit @alkinooskanaris.bsky.social. Und dann natürlich TrainWorld 😁
Inside of an ICE 3neo train, seats on the bottom part of the picture and the ceiling with a screen showing information on the journey on the top. Entrance of the BusWorld exhibition, red and blue carpets and busses. Inside of a TEE wagon in the museum TrainWorld. Fancy turquoise seats, big windows and luggage on the seats and overhead compartments.

Wwwweiterreisen 🌅
NS Vectron 193 931 at Köln Hbf, Platform 6 with the NightJet 402 ready to depart to Amsterdam Centraal. The sky is cloudy and dark (the sun hasn’t come out yet) and the warm tungsten lighting reflects on the wet platform. Behind the locomotive, the station metal and glass roof and on the right side the Kölner Dom. A Doppelstock train waiting on platform 8 of Köln Hbf as the RE 9 to Aachen Hbf. The scene is dark as it’s still night out and the lights of the train shine brightly. Above the train is the metal and glass roof of the station.

Jetzt geht's auf mehr Reisen! 😅
Night view of Zürich, on the foreground the beginning of the Limmat river from the lake Zürich and above it some buildings, the Grossmünster church and the Quaibrücke, all with warm lighting. The sky is clear dark blue as the night is falling. On the street in front of the buildings right by the river, a VBZ Tram 2000 Be 4/8 "Sänfte" is travelling on the line 15. A grey duvet cover inside the NightJet train with the lettering ÖBB in red and services by nearest wagons-lits in white.

Ein bisschen Dolderbahn, ein bisschen Trainspotting… 🚂
Front view of the Dolderbahn. Tracks inside a green tall tree forest and in the distance the city and lakeside Zürich. Bright colours and mostly clear skies. Photo of the entrance of Zürich HB from the Negrellisteg bridge above the tracks, with two trains exiting the station: the IC 180 from Zürich HB to Singen (Hohentwiel) with a DB IC2 set and the IC 3 (584) from Chur to Basel SBB with an SBB Giruno set.

Essen (endlich) in der Schweiz (endlich).
View from a table in the restaurant of an FV-Dosto of SBB. On the left is the inside of the train, white tablecloths on the tables and some passengers eating, on the right the green scenery and mountains (and a road). An FV-Dosto at platform 7 in Zürich HB.

Schienenersatzverkehr vom Ötztal nach Sargans aufgrund von Bauarbeiten an der Arlbergbahn. 🙃
vielleicht ein Tipp für mein Reiseziel.
Ramp from the platform 3 to the underpass at Ötztal station full of passengers changing from the RailJet to the rail replacement bus. The roof is wooden, on the sides concrete and wooden frame windows, passengers of all ages with various clothing and luggage. View from inside the bus to Sargans, out of the window is the stone station building and the mountains behind it, in front of it another white bus with the words müller touristik printed in black under the windows. Inside the bus some passengers sitting and some still entering, in front of me a dark plastic box and behind that a coffee machine, some trays with coffee sorts and paper cups.

In Salzburg gibt’s was neues. Ex-neues. Ex-ex-Neues.
Platform 3 at Salzburg Hbf. On the tracks a RailJet arriving at the platform (RJX 160 & RJX 560, locomotive end first) and at platform 4, behind on the right, a STADLER KISS Doppestock ex-DB IC with the ÖBB logo unit waiting for its departure (4010 105). Above them the old station roof with metal and glass and cloudy skies. Information display (new, LCD, blue with white letters) on platform 2 of Salzburg Hbf showing the departure of train west 911 to Wien Westbahnhof at 09:52 via Vöcklabruck~Attnang-Puchheim~(the rest is not shown as it changes every few seconds). The time is showing 09:59:53 and the train formation is shown on the lower side with regards to the platform parts with yellow for the first class and green for the second class (1 car mixed and 5 cars second class). Behind it the train, a STADLER KISS Doppelstock with the white - blue - green and orange door frames of WESTBahn. The sky is cloudy and it’s raining so the platform is wet in the distance where there is no cover.

Im Süden und Norden des Tauerntunnels ☀️❄️
Photo from the back side of the train to the tracks. Double track with concrete sleepers, electrification above. On the right side the mountain rises and on the left side in the distance are the lower plains of Spital (Austria). The sky is blue with some white, grey and pink clouds. Cloudy scene of dark green trees in the foreground and the mountain Ankogel (Austria) in the background. The mountain appears to float inside the clouds and the fog.

Los geht’s nach… 🛤️
Photo of the facade of Klagenfurt Hbf. On the left is a dark red wall with a clock showing 06:38 and on the right the same wall recessed with six windows with white outer frame and dark blue inner frames. On the roof is a big red logo of the Austrian Railways ÖBB.

Im RailJet 633 von Wien Hbf nach Villach Hbf, wegen technischer Störung in der Lok ist die Abfahrt derzeit 40‘-45‘ verzögert. Soll ich vielleicht mit der NightJet fahren? 🤔 (Antwort: nein)

The lights stopped power cycling after about an hour. The seat recline is a joke, a bad one especially for night trains.

But listen to the sound it made!! 😁

If I’m not mistaken, some of them are also heated with under the surface hot water pipes to melt the ice. The following two images are on opposite sides of each other, no heating in front of the main station and a clear pedestrian walkway.
Helsinki Central Station, big brown stone building with green-blue touches on the roofs. The ground in front of it covered with a layer of snow. The sky is white. Pedestrian walkway clear of snow although it’s snowing and right opposite to the Central Station from the other picture. On the left and the right big buildings with large windows, Christmas lights and some trees in front of them. The sky is white and snow is falling.

Suburban Railway of Patras, Antheias Stop, right by the international port of Patras (Italy) and the new mall (across the street on the right). The impatience of drivers can be observed from the first second of the video, up to the last. This is the crossing with the most accidents in the last years

ΣΠΑΠ – Peloponnese Netzgrafik 1962

Something I’d never seen before and I didn’t expect to see.

⚪️ Standard trains
🔴 Fast trains
🟢 Local and steam trains
🔵 Car-ferries

A really inclusive timetable, aiming for the passenger’s information

Source: gwrarchive.org/site/sitel2p...
Netzgrafik-Style timetable of the SPAP (Peloponnesian) Railways of Greece. The most important stations are connected with coloured lines, indicating the type of train (or ferry), departure and arrival times and direction. On the top right is a „Train Schedule“ title and the whole design is showing it’s age in a very nice way.
