Another nice one, this is a larger timetable book in Finnish and Swedish from 1934, published by the Finnish Tourist Association. Apparently these were published up until the early 2000s. There are explanatory notes on page 4 in English, French and Esperanto(!).
One detail: the train Jyväskylä–Suolahti (which no longer runs) took 1 hour 20 minutes, only a few minutes slower than the bus that serves the route now. #history #timetables #landBasedTravel

Page three of brochure, 44th edition showing a minimalist schematic map over the railroads of Finland in 1934 with coastline and main cities marked. Also an ad for fashionable Para-brand rubber shoes by Kumiteollisuus Oy, literally Rubber Industry Ltd.

#Travelling by #train in #Europe can be a nightmare. On this year's holidays we wanted to reduce our #CarbonFootprint by travelling by train (instead of travelling by other more polluting means of #transport). The idea was to use night trains and #Interrail to travel. But from Galicia I would have to travel hundreds of kilometres on an inefficient train, and France does not have many night trains. And buying #tickets and checking #timetables was a nightmare. So this time we decided to travel by car and not too far.

Why is it not possible for a courier company to adjust their collection schedule for when one will actually be at home? I had to go out for a few hours this morning, and a phone to the company asking for a collection postponement resulted in my being told it was not possible. The driver had already "accepted the job" and was on the way. (No indication of an arrival time, though.) So the driver doesn't have a mobile phone? She/he can't do other collections first and come back to me a few hours later? Hrrmmph.
