[speculationfictive@union.place]

@jon Thanks for the heads up. I'm also supposed to be going that way tomorrow...

[jon@gruene.social]

@speculationfictive You *might* get around it via Bad Oldesloe and Neumünster. Today all the ECE trains started/ended in Neumünster.

[jon@gruene.social]

So I *think* you can get around the WWII bomb in Hamburg by routing Schleswig - Neumünster - Bad Oldesloe - Hamburg Hbf, and it even does not add *that much* time

Let's consider all of this again tomorrow morning!

[tops@im-in.space]

@jon the producer is truly laying it on thick!

[fraumitfahrrad@ruhr.social]

@jon Most likely, yes.

[jonas_bostrom@mastodonsweden.se]

@meganL Hej! @jon

[rainerzufall_le@mastodon.social]

@jon Based on what I know about Hamburg trainlines, that seems to be correct.
The train between Neumünster and Bad Oldesloe can get crowded if the track between Neumünster and Hamburg is closed without replacement busses

[jonas_bostrom@mastodonsweden.se]

@jon Thanks for the chat! It was nice meeting you!

[jon@gruene.social]

And as I approach Stockholm, and my train is using a line also used by the Pendeltåg, have some Markoolio

The silliest railway track since Ferd rapping about a draisine

@jon This is quite common in Germany and routine, unless they encounter any issues with the bomb, the disposal team should be quick in disabling and removing it.

@jon Probably the most popular Finn in Sweden

[knud@mastodon.social]

@jon

Oops! Yesterday I passed 500m from there

[tml@mementomori.social]

@sebwilken @jon I thought that was another Mark, Levengood.

[jon@gruene.social]

@kobold Right, I know. I am German

[jon@gruene.social]

BTW how much did all of this cost?

My workings are here:

Short answer: Interrail makes it not too expensive, but all the re-planning has cost me

[cykelsok@norden.social]

@jon That kind of bomb has to cleared instantly. So its likley everything will be just normal tomorrow. Hopefully.

[pepijn@mastodon.online]

It seems all passengers in your Copenhagen - Hamburg train will be locomotive drivers.. Must be something new DSB bought..

Have a good night!

@jon

[jonas_bostrom@mastodonsweden.se]

@tml I think you're right, Mark Levengood is very popular and hard to beat! @sebwilken @jon

[knud@mastodon.social]

@jon

I'm currently reading Ursula LeGuin's 'Earthsea' books, and there are bits where dark forces prevent the wizard from reaching the isle that is his destination! No magic is helping him, so he has to take detours, meets an old friend again, then only after a long route of travels and learning he finally reaches his goal.

Let's see how your trip further develops

(This week already saw train strikes in Italy and the Netherlands and it's only Wednesday

@Pepijn unless the locomotives are locked.
