Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600

The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.

The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China's north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

    Ugh, my clothes for work feel so bad. I could really feel the difference between the weekend and today based off of that alone. Anybody know how I can femme up jeans and a really bad sweatshirt? I'm aware I could probably get it a size down, but I need some other ideas in case that doesn't work niko-wtf

    In other news, I binged Nevada. What a horrible idea, now there's so many thoughts going through my head. This happens every time I binge something, but I can't seem to put stuff down once I get into it.

      It's awful when uniforms give dysphoria. For ideas to femme it up, I'm thinking accessories? Like, a statement belt, jewelry, maybe even cute hair clips. Cute socks too — I'm a fan of crew cuts with patterns or stripes. Idk if any of these ideas would work for you, but I hope maybe one does!

      Jeans and a sweater as a work uniform? Lucky, better than a polo and work trousers.

      Nevada time hell yeah niko-wonderous

        It probably wouldn't be as bad if I had better jeans and a smaller sweater, to be fair. I have to wear a belt with the current jeans, and the sweater is too small to be really big, and too small to properly fit.

        Also thanks for always bringing up Nevada, it was a really good read!

    • some help maybe

      Paint your toes if you haven't, wear nice socks and maybe a nice top under a sweatshirt if you can, can get some bracelets even something gender neutral to have like that feel on your arms can help, and maybe a necklace that can help too.

      Nevada is fun, I read it in two days, glad you enjoyed it c:
