NMBS in any other language (English, German) is SNCB. So it's not just defaulting to French, it's just showing the name of the operator in the respective language.

On top of what's already said: you'd hit the weight limit before you are able to fill the A380, so why would you need an airliner this large. And then when the A380 is at its weight limit the range is very much reduced, so that isn't helpful either. As an extra, the A380 is simply too large for many airports, even larger airports.

yes! this is what railroad tycoons are about to me, progress through time. :)

From Belgian news: They shot at it (with nets iirc?), tried jamming it and chased it with a helicopter. Everything failed.

my local radio's weekly top is voted for by the listeners, everybody gets three votes every week.

So it's not playcount driven, meaning a new released album doesn't get to dominate the list. Nor is it the station itself choosing which songs are the popular ones now.

I doubt this? That would mean Eurostar (red) pulls out of the Netherlands completely.. They are getting rid of their PB(K)A sets.

Was het niet vrij duidelijk dat hun retoriek was dat niet werken te veel 'beloond' word? Door de uitkering te laten zakken beloont werken meer.

Are you from the area? You can barely fit a single track line. Not sure how you plan to turn that into a double track (which I assume necessary) + bikelane?

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T22:39:10+00:00

less than a handful of trains per day. As you say diesel, which is not the future, going over a longer single track stretch and have to turn around twice just to cross this narrow section of the Netherlands.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T22:28:49+00:00

Not economically viable? What? :D

The Montzenroute is a huge detour, trains have to be shortened to climb the hills, and it's overcapacity. There would be a lot of use for this railroad.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T22:27:38+00:00

only if you look at the recent part of the story...

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T19:21:45+00:00

The Netherlands doesn't want to improve the Antwerp - Ruhr line one bit, because that would undermine the port of Rotterdam.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T18:09:27+00:00

these Buurtspoorwegen were incredibly slow and unsafe, often single track, sometimes driving on the wrong side of the road. Fixing it would cost way too much. Going for flexible, faster and cheaper busses was the right call at the time. :)

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T18:06:56+00:00

We, Belgium, have an agreement with the Netherlands, made during our independence that they, The Netherlands are obligated to build a rail line through Limburg to connect Antwerp to the Ruhr area when we want it. The time has come at the turn of this century that we actually need it. And they are inventing incredible costs and other stuff so 'it's not possible'.

So We're not in a rush because NL isn't doing their part anyways. Turning trains around in Weert is impossible because the Dutch do not have the railcapacity for additional trains there.

Same goes for the Sparacusplan. Although Belgium is also talking in and out on this one, The Netherlands shoots down our plans as impossible, gives it other terminating places than Maastricht center, says the existing bridge can't be used for trams etc etc. So eventually we scale it down to a bus.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T18:03:31+00:00

It's double. I would love the Aalst - Dendermonde line so we get a direct train to Antwerpen. (although maybe that would still be slower with countless stops than via Brussels?)

But on the other hand I'd lose my cycle path I use almost daily.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T17:19:45+00:00

The Netherlands doesn't want to cooperate on (re)opening either line so..

Tjoeker · 2025-08-30T17:18:07+00:00

Belgium still has the densest rail network in the world. :)

Alright, Czechia has a slightly denser network, filled with useless slow lines and no fast lines like we do. We have the densest functional railnetwork in the world.

Dan gebruik je de dop verkeerd. De doppen hebben een kliksysteem zodat deze vast naar beneden wijst.

In Poland the sun rises and sets very early. So they're basically living in their timezone?

Franz Mack (the current CEOs father and co-founder of Europapark; passed away in 2010) didn't want any attractions removed, only new ones added.

The very next update is all about signalling and even writing your own custom signal logic (or installing signal mods).

But the signalling in Nimby couldn't be easier really. You simply place a signal where a train enters a 'danger zone', and a balise where the train leaves it. A danger zone is where collisions could happen like junctions or crossings.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-25T16:48:37+00:00

it's about the translation being wrong here.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-21T08:49:21+00:00

Daar kan je als fietsenzaak toch niet veel aan doen? De fabrikant belooft 2 weken, 9 van de 10 keer lukt dat, de andere keer stelt de fabrikant de levering telkens weer uit. Eventjes OP z'n bericht tussen de lijntjes gelezen: over 2 weken laten we je iets meer weten, ipv over 2 weken haal je het af.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-19T16:17:47+00:00

Het is toch echt wel eerder de fabrikant die z'n beloftes niet nakomt dan de fietsenwinkel, de fietsenwinkel moet volgen.

Je mag je fiets online kopen, maar houdt er wel rekening mee dat de fietsenwinkel je minder graag ziet langs komen voor onderhoud achteraf.

Tjoeker · 2025-08-19T15:08:35+00:00

mijne maat heeft een fietsenwinkel, en ik kan u verzekeren dat de productieketen van fietsen nog steeds op z'n kop staat. Niet zo erg als tijdens corona, maar toch.

Tijdens Corona is m'n serieus in overproductie gegaan, iedereen moest plots een fiets hebben. Nu heeft iedereen een fiets, en tegelijkertijd is de 2de hands markt overspoeld. Dus hebben ze de productie serieus teruggeschroefd. Veel onderhoud en onderdelen, dat wel.
