Fuck yeah, we need this! Fucking German railway has held this back for decades. I hope @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu can tell them to kindly fuck off now and finally make travelling through Europe easier with a train.

For the next 20 years, travelling through Germany will be a disaster. If the next national election has the nazis win, it’ll take 50 years.
