I'm prepared to shell out to take the #Eurostar bc as a North American, I want to experience what fast, efficient #railservice is like. It's a #transport unicorn, so I'll take the opportunity every time.

Eindelijk is ook #Nederland op lars' transport maps!
Finally, the first #Netherlands train map has joined my transport map collection. It shows #NS, #Arriva, #Eurostar and the other
train services. As the year 2024 is slowly coming to an end, it was finally time to finish my summer work. Feel free to browse the new map!

Hey #BikeTooter, has anyone worked out why #Eurostar have such a completely shitty attitude/policies towards #bikes and #cyclists?
Arcane rules and booking system, strange requirements and limitations and outrageously expensive, they really bloody hate us.
Wondering if @seatsixtyone or @jon have any insights?
