DAY96: 23/09/2018 my next 🇪🇺 journey leg from #Amsterdam to #Luxembourg is on an early @NS_online train from Amsterdam Centraal 🇳🇱 to Antwerpen Centraal 🇧🇪 I change onto a fairly new @SNCB @Siemens AM08 as far as Leuven 🇧🇪

Before, I marvel at the multi-level glory that is Antwerp Central. It’s some fine engineering but worth remembering what paid for it as it is part of Léopold II’s slavery legacy. This thread by @GarethDennis looks at slavery & railways.

From Leuven 🇧🇪 I take my (obviously delayed) @SNCB train to Liège Guillemins where I do a mad dash to make my @CFLinfos Luxembourgish 🇱🇺 train to Luxembourg City. It’s rainy as I make out Clervaux station as the train winds through this unique 🇪🇺 country

We arrive at Luxembourg station or Gare Lëtzebuerg in 🇱🇺 (Gare de Luxembourg 🇫🇷) with various @CFLinfos stock around. It is also served by @SNCB @DB_Bahn & @SNCF & has been recently modernised. Now to find my hostel...

A lovely stained-glass window in the station, the info board-cum-totem board, bike hire, ⚡️ buses & an election poster in Luxembourgish if you want to see what this weird language looks like. Basically dodgy Germany with a French twang 🙈🙉
