Today I'm attempting #Heidelberg-#Madrid by #rail in one day. 6 trains from #tram to #TGV. Made train no 1 at 6:39. ETA in Madrid is 23:45.

Biggest challenge might be the regional train to Mannheim. Due to illness of personnel at least 1 of the 3 trains I could take simply isn't running, which means that one of the others will be crowded and hence delayed ...

@knud good luck! How many trains in advance do you take to be safe to reach your TGV anyway?

(Unreliable local trains are a constant nuisance for me while traveling via Stuttgart.)

@pikarl

1 tram (check)
1 local train (check, with premonition)
1 ICE (unclear if in time)
