summons railway ticketing nerds where exactly would you have to arrive after midnight for this, at the train station or your destination?

specifically, i would arrive 23:45 in braunschweig hbf but sometime after midnight in $home
Show threadlis  1d ago
well

at this point it doesn't matter anymore ​​
Show threadlis  1d ago
in theory, riding this ICE should allow me to catch that RE60 in hannover and arrive in braunschweig before midnight

in practice… we'll see about that

…the same platform interchange in hannover now is two platforms apart ​​
Show threadlis  1d ago
four minutes to change platforms could be doable though

i've managed one minute with far more distance before

that fucking RE stole my ICE's track ​​
Show threadlis  1d ago
it's not like track 14 was occupied either, there was an s-bahn on there but that left nine minutes earlier

why ruin a perfectly good same platform interchange?
Show threadlis  1d ago
it's called Peine because it's such a pain in the ass to the REs stopping there

will i actually arrive in HBS before midnight? bets are open now!

current prediction is 23:58…

hmm i could've gotten an IC(E) ticket from duisburg to minden refunded under the Mobilitätsgarantie couldn't i? since that RE6 got +35 in duisburg already

that knowledge might make future travels in NRW much more bearable…

@lis yes. You Need to buy it between 20 and 80 min after the scheduled departure of the RE for a ICE in this timeslot. (Tip: buy the ticket from a machine, so there is no Timetable on it…)

For journeys within VRR- or NRW-Tariff you can also use the legal passenger rights, as they don’t state Deutschlandticket as erheblich ermäßigt.

@lis important: Mobilitätsgarantie needs a 20 min delayed *departure* from your original station, and doesn‘t covers interchanges.
