Adhering to established safety norms is essential for minimizing risks and enhancing the reliability of railway systems. This blog post will explore key European railway safety standards EN 50126, EN 50128, and EN 50129. Safety measures are essential…
With this year’s timetable change, the first part of the new railway line between Ulm and Stuttgart is finally going to be in operation – thus, reducing the journey between both cities from 1h to only 45 min. More changes in the German railway timetable for 2023 are presented in this video:
Wishing you a wonderful start into the week! For my fellow railway enthusiasts: This is the Enztal-bridge, with 1044 m the longest bridge on the highspeed railway between Stuttgart and Mannheim.
