Hey there! :)

Welcome to the unofficial account of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (Hamburg Transport Association).

Things to expect: Posts about (or involving) trains, buses and other transit related stuff, some informative, others more shitpost-ish

Most of the posts will be in English, some in German (with the occasional English translation)

I am a trans leftist who likes trains.

This blog is not run by the HVV or in any relation to it. All use of the name and logo is entirely satirical.

And to the city of Hamburg: Bring trams back. Please?

Was ist deine Lieblingsstation?

hmmm, schwierig. Gibt viele gute. Mein erster Gedanke ist Klosterstern, die denkmalgeschützten Treppenüberdachungen und die Fliesen sind einfach n vibe. Und es gibt richtige Bänke ohne diese ollen Bügel zwischen den Sitzplätzen :D

Heyo, kleiner Tipp: Auf der Line 133 (Steinfurter Allee - Neuschöningsstedt Haidkrug) fährt neben dem normalen Bus heute ein uralter Bus von 1964 😁 Man kann mit einem normalen Ticket einfach den nehmen, statt den normalen Bus, der auch etwa zur gleichen Zeit fährt, aber manchmal vorne manchmal dahinter ist.

Nur falls du oder einer deiner Follower in der Gegend ist 😉

(Nachteil ist der Mangel an Lüftungs- und Klimaanlage, aber das geht und ist erstaunlich bequem da drin)

uuuh wie cool! Hab leider keine Zeit dafür heute, aber vielleicht ja wer anders hier :D

I just found out they're having a bus driver's competition today in Tallinn, Estonia, and,,

We nEEeeed to do this here, I mean, we voted against having the olympic games here (yayy), so I think this would be a way better thing to do :D

Today, Hochbahn allowed the public to take a look at the tunnels of the new u4 extension from Horner Rennbahn to Horner Geest :D

it was really cool to see :3

[hvv-official]

they even let everyone draw on the walls with crayons <3

(edited a bit for legibility)

on the left, I wrote "public transit? shoutout to it/its users in public", inspired by @my-life-is-a-sidequest's post. The "t4t trannies4trains" part was done by @lightfelicis19406 and/or @lordplavis, who i was there with <3

More cool photos under the cut

I love public transit

[my-life-is-a-sidequest]

shout out to trans it/its users in public

[british-rail-official]

did you know? every time your train is running late, its because she likes you lots and doesnt want you to leave her early. if its delayed before it gets to you thats because shes anxious to meet you. try to be gentle to her and remind her youll come back and see it again and she'll be more on time next time 🙂‍↕️

Public transport is a type of horse and I'm a teenage girl who no one understands

The bus fucking bit me

[chaos-has-theories]

The fucking orient express? Is at my train station???

[trainsinanime]

Oh yeah that’s normal. It runs under the name Venice Simplon Orient Express, both regularly from Paris to Venice and along a large number of other routes through Europe (often once or twice a year, or on irregular schedules). Super expensive, it uses historic (but modernized) train cars and but modern locomotives. Vienna is a frequent destination for them. But you can also see it in completely different routes, e.g. I saw it in my local freight train yard a while ago, where it was moving empty to its next trip.

[chaos-has-theories]

HELL YEAH this is exactly who I wanted to hear from and what I thought I might hear.

I knew vaguely that this was a thing, but was very startled to see it at MY train station (yes yes one of the biggest stations in the capital city, shh) but the irregular schedules clear THAT up nicely.

@scar-can-relate and anyone else who shared my shock and delight, YES I did take pictures though they are. how you say. not good.

It was fancy as FUCK.

[trainsinanime]

By the way, if you’re interested, this is probably the Vienna-Paris service they offer a couple of times a year. Prices start at 4275 British pounds per passenger if you share the smallest cabin; twice that if you travel alone and want a cabin for yourself. The FAQs mention that you should dress up as fancy as you can; jeans are “not acceptable at any time”.

[chaos-has-theories]

That would do it yeah ^^

But no it was headed to Istanbul, and this was clearly not their first stop - they were unloading the garbage and possibly reloading on water? I must assume it's the Rome-Istanbul route, though I can find no mention of that stopping at Vienna or Somethingshalom (didn't get a picture of that alas).

If it is that, it's 4 nights, prices starting at 20.000 British Pounds per passenger.

So. Yeah.
