Very retro this morning. There’s even #fensterauf but it’s too cold and rainy currently to profit from it!

And finally once I’m off this bus I’ll be close to two of today’s #CrossBorderRail lines to check:

Bleiburg 🇦🇹 - Prevalje 🇸🇮
Lavamünd 🇦🇹 - Dravograd 🇸🇮

And the Graz - Klagenfurt Koralmbahn is going to be an excellent railway once complete and open. It’s not only a 250km/h line Graz-Klagenfurt but will also connect the region here (Völkermarkt, Bleiburg, Wolfsberg) much better to Klagenfurt.

It’s exactly how you should do high speed rail!

Bleiburg 🇦🇹 - Prevalje 🇸🇮, Austrian side

All orderly, but level crossings without barriers
