DAY281: 28/07/2019 it’s @RHDR thread time! My 1st ever visit was on this day having had a lovely weekend camping in East Sussex with friends. We started at #Dungeness behind Hercules #Steam #SteamTrain #TrainTravel #TravelbyTrain
#CoronaAlone #CoronaLockdown
Departure from #Dungeness behind Hercules! It’s situated on a uni-directional loop as we head back towards the beach & the single line section towards Romney Sands via the spring loaded points. #RHDR #Steam #SteamTrain #TrainTravel πŸš‚ 🌊
Past the wonderful #ThePilotInn where you can get cracking fish n chips we chatter across Dungeness past Lydd-on-Sea along the single track section towards Romney Sands. These little engines make a fantastic sound! #Steam #Heritage #Railway πŸš‚ 🌊

So all this "we want night trains back!" stuff, and journalists falling over themselves when Γ–BB ran one to Brussels...

I thought I would illustrate quite how hard a problem this is to solve.

And, yes, I have a way to illustrate hard stuff.

Welcome to #NightTrainDiagram !
This doesn't begin to cover all the complexity of how to get a night train to run, but it covers the main gist of it. And there are not probabilities on it, as there are loops in the diagram.
But seriously, this is what you would have to overcome to get more night trains on the tracks of Europe.

A nice photo opp, or some petition on Change(dot)org is not going to solve these inherent complexities for you. This needs hard work and maybe new law.
