@ExtinctionR I note that it is direct to city stations not out of town airports so 8 hrs isn’t bad compared to train-fly-train. Also there are additional stops en route.

@markmason @ExtinctionR The additional stops are pretty minimal. Strasbourg and Karlsruhe are the two "last stations just across the borders" and Frankfurt you need for operational reasons (switching personnel).
