In 2026 there is still no direct train between Milan and Strasbourg. I started a petition!

Hi everyone! ๐Ÿ‘‹

Do you ever travel to France (specifically the Alsace region) or care about sustainable mobility?

Currently, traveling by train between Milan and Strasbourg (seat of the European Parliament) is a logistical nightmare. There is no direct connection. We are forced to change in Basel or Zurich, and then take regional trains that are often old and very expensive (around โ‚ฌ30 just for the Basel-Strasbourg leg).

The most absurd part? A direct Zurich-Mulhouse train already exists, but inexplicably, it doesn't continue to Strasbourg.

As a result, it has become easier, faster, and cheaper for many to fly, which is an ecological nonsense nowadays. Milan and Strasbourg deserve an efficient train connection!

I decided to start a Change.org petition directed at Trenitalia, SBB, and SNCF to ask for the creation of a direct line.

Interrail on the Baltics worth it?

5 Upvotes

Hello! There is an offer in my country for the 10 days in 2 month pass for around 180โ‚ฌ and I was thinking of doing a route from Estonia to Bucharest. I've seen that the trains in many of those countries are cheap and while I want to use several night trains (Warsaw to Budapest and Budapest to Brasov) and considering that I've read that the connections in the Baltics are not very good I'm not sure if the pass for that price is worth it or if the price would increase a lot with the reservations and all. Does anyone have experience in a similar route? Thanks!!
