A Dutch start-up is now producing upcycled table tops which fit perfectly on Amsterdam's 18th-century "Amsterdammertje" bollards.

With 38,000 bollards in the city, combined with quiet streets and its al fresco culture, they're perfect for enjoying a glass of wine with friends.

Swiss trains are awesome.

[Quoted tweet]
Le premier InterCity pendulaire (ICN) entièrement rénové a été présenté officiellement aux Ateliers d’Yverdon-les-Bains. Les 44 rames seront entièrement modernisées d’ici 2031

Elles sont entrées en service en 2001 et ont parcouru chacune près de 8 millions de kilomètres

One of the best things in a country full of awesome things. I love the Swiss train system so much.

… but slow. There is nothing like the Paris-Marseille TGV. It takes three hours to go to Zurich and they seem to get slower as time passes.

the new electric train in Silicon Valley (San Francisco to San Jose) is Swiss made.

Well not French trains. You’ll pay €15 to go 50km and not even have a seat because it’s too crowded. Then you’ll have an hour delay and not even get a refund.
