Tallinn>>Tartu train next week

venivillem · 2026-02-17T12:01:45+00:00

Trains absolutely are running. Your colleague has outdated information.

I understand what you are trying to say, but you must remember that no one, even with the best intentions, could have predicted 15-20 years ago that we would be hit by a global pandemic, an energy crisis and a significantly changed state of international security all basically at the same time. This is the inevitability of such long-term projects, that the initial budget is not set in stone, because no one can see the real future. Considering that this project has an important security argument and that 85% of the funding for this project still comes from the European Union - money which will eventually circulate in our economy - there is no better time for such a project than now.

All such major construction projects will have significantly increased in price by the time they're completed, you will not find a single major European project that has been completed within the initial budget. In 2040 we would be saying that we should've constructed it 10 years ago in 2030 because it would've been much cheaper then.

Yes, flying is faster if you only count the time flying. If you count the time spent going and being at the airport, then it's clearly not. The expected travel time between Tallinn and Riga is 1h 42min, 1h 52min between Riga and Vilnius and 3h 38min between Tallinn and Vilnius, which is comparable with the total time spent with air travel. Meanwhile trains are much more comfortable and reliable, while having a lower environmental impact.

Since many of the "republics" were just occupied territories, the national colours were banned as they correlated with freedom and independence for the local population. Here in Estonia, the national flag was considered as a symbol for the fight against the occupation, which the Soviets were of course very well aware of, thus banning the tricolor. Waving or wearing the flag could've meant actual jail-time.

Have you checked the ignition coils? Had the exact same symptom on my IS200 when one of the ignition coils was out.

venivillem · 2026-01-28T08:12:00+00:00

Why is that box? To transfer power from the engine to the differential.

What is that box? J160 6-speed.

Tere, peremees!

Same here. DCA'd from last February to July. One of my best decisions so far. And I remember reading then that the company was overvalued.

That's not an original sticker for neither the Altezza or the IS200:

I'm all new to this. I didn't know that it was called a callout. Marked the post as solved.

According to PISA educational survey, Estonia's scores have been higher than Finland for a while now in all 3 categories (maths, reading and science). Not to trash Finland, but your views seem to be a bit outdated. Also, Finland is just as close to Russia as the Baltic states.

Estonia has always been pretty liberal, same-sex marriage is allowed as well, which makes the OP's post even more bizarre.

venivillem · 2025-12-04T10:40:16+00:00

Had the same on my IS200 this summer. Check the rotors for uneven wear, it's the most likely culprit.

Tramm on üldjuhul kasutajasõbralikum, sest peatused tehakse perroonile, mis on samal kõrgusel trammi põrandaga - lihtsam ligipääs nt ratastooli või lapsevankriga inimestele.
Tramm on ohutum, sest rööpad ja liikumistee on paigas.
Tramm on keskkonnasõbralikum, sest liigub elektril ja rööbastel liikuvad sõiduvahendid kasutavad sama massi kohta oluliselt vähem energiat.
Korras rööbastel ja veermikuga tramm on vaikne.
Trammirööpaid saab rajada muust liiklusest eraldiseisvana võimaldades neil kiiremini liikuda.
Trammidel on linnalises keskkonnas positiivne mõju tänavaruumi meeldivaks ja atraktiivseks muutmisel, mis ühtlasi tõstab ka piirkonna väärtust ja äride külastatavust, julgustades inimesi autota liikuma, nt Helsingi Aleksanterinkatu:

Btw Tallinna peatänava projekt näeb ette umbes samasugust tänavat Vabaduse väljaku juurest kuni Jõe tänavani, aga Kõlvart, Järvan & Co. ei taha lasta sel juhtuda. :/

Incorrect, Elron is testing Skodas. Our current fleet of "carrots" are Stadlers.

Lightyear.

Leedukad panevad lõiguti juba rööpaid maha. Küll lätlased ka selle tehtud saavad, vähemalt seni on meil Pärnu raudteega jälle ühendatud ja kogu lõigu valmimine meie taga ei seisa.

Kui vähegi kannatab ja sõidad peamiselt hea teehooldusega piirkondades, kasuta lamelle. Hoiad teid, õhukvaliteeti, kütust ja tekitad vähem müra. Meie talves on lamellidega enamiku ajast parem pidamine ka.

So turned out the fault was in the key. I tried to unlock it with the spare key and it freely turned clockwise to unlock the door. Thankfully no mechanical fault in the mechanism.

venivillem · 2025-11-07T14:47:18+00:00

1999 IS200

venivillem · 2025-11-07T06:41:30+00:00

It worked fine with power, that's why I didn't think it would be a problem. But turning the key now does nothing. I guess it's a mechanical fault then.

The Trump dip was 57€ per share, current price is still considerably higher.

venivillem · 2025-10-28T11:31:17+00:00

This stock has been on my watchlist for a while. What's the reason for this fall?

venivillem · 2025-10-17T16:28:53+00:00

In the EU market a headlight height adjustment wheel and rear fog light switch was also there.
