Skopje has one?

Our rail network is quite good but furthermore we have three neigbouring EU contries just a sunday bike trip away. So actually many of these “international connections” are just commuter trains 😁

I think this loses a bit of usefulness due to the definition of being linked to foreign country cities. It can skew the data towards centric cities in small countries that are easy to connect to other countries, or cities near the border (see Milan but not Rome).
Perhaps it would be more interesting to see the cities with the overall most connections, regardless of borders.

If Helsinki is showing 1 here, I think it should show 2: Turku to the west and Tampere to the north. But it’s still very sad how poor the Finnish railroad system is. In many places, it’s a single track with a couple of passing spots. However, usually the passenger trains have to wait for freight trains to pass.

Kurt Vonnegut would have loved it there.

Makes sense it would have the most direct connections* given its central location. It would be weird if somewhere like Lisbon had the most direct connections.
*I assume that’s what the post means by “connections” since every city in the network has the same number of indirect connections – that’s how a network works

All I read is that people want to get the hell out of Vienna.

What a weird graph

The conncetions used for this for Vienna are clearly outdated:
Brussel
Berlin
Rostock
Hamburg
Split
Nice
Bozen
Livorno
Kosice
Gydina
Rome
Amsterdam
Dortmund
Ljubljana
Cluj
Baia Mare
Sopron
Zurich
Kyiv
Przemsyl
Moscow
Znojmo

You can spot the three big cities of the austro-hungarian empire pretty clearly.

Now we just need a failed painter from the European city with the most rail connections, to optimize other countries railways, to make a final rail network solution

Weird way to visualize this topic. Stockholm has railways going north, northwest, west and south (west and south run together until the city of Södertälje). Four directions, four lines but only one line goes straight through the city, north-south.
And best connected to foreign countries? It take quite a while to leave Sweden by train from Stockholm, passing through a number of other Swedish cities.

That does it. I’m moving to Wien to open a raincoat and notebook store

Odd form of displaying how many tracks there are but okay.

Almost like coastal cities have less connections! I wonder why!!!?

This graph is from few years ago. Did anything change?

Zürich isn’t doing too bad either!
What’s with Sarajevo and Tirané?
Munich?

That’s the worst infographic I’ve ever seen
Moscow?
