Copying the successful Deutschland ticket, Portugal goes for a €49 monthly regional rail pass. The National Rail Pass does not include High Speed services, certain regional services, and urban rail in Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra.

Come on, Irish Rail and NI Railways. You can do this.

And here an interesting thread of someone travelling from Portugal to Norway by train. Currently In Hamburg, so probably a bit more than half-way there I guess....

I'm gonna go on a trip. I will be traveling from #Lisbon to #Bergen, #Norway by #train only. It will take me around 4 days. I will try to log it here as best as I can, although I'm not much of a consistent person... 😅

And if you're not doing so already, please @seatsixtyone

(I've not been on a plane in 10 years of holidays and I spend a lot of time in Europe, but have had to accept plane travel for work, which I am forever trying to find way saround).

First ride out for shiny new power train... Investing in replacing most of the important mechanicals (except pulley wheels) means this 6+ year old frame will run smooth for at least another 2 years... #CycleCommuting #SustainableTravel

A 🧵 on #EV travel...

1🪡 When I first told Denny I was joining the #NoJetSet and would only step foot in an airplane once every 3 years, he was understandably worried.

But given the look on his face at this delightful charging station in Green River, Utah, I think our compromise to trade our hybrid SUV for an electric #Hyundai #Ioniq5 worked out just fine.

Employee has to leave the car behind: travel reimbursement for cyclists increases again. Also, more companies are leasing bicycles to their employees.

So what can we do? Reduce, or eliminate, your own flying. Banning private jets is also essential. It's time for the industry to be held responsible for the damage they cause and for strict emission standards and bans on luxury flights to be implemented. (3/3) #SustainableTravel

Start of a long 24-ish hours of travelling - trains, a ferry and then more trains and buses to travel the low-carbon way to a conference over in Norway. Got my FFP2 masks and my woolen socks so I'm good to go.

The threads I did on the adventure of train travel this holiday seemed to go down well, so I wrote them up into an actual blog post - I know, 2 in a week, what's this about?! It won't last when we're back to routine.
