@ari Now on a mission to get someone from Angoulême/Limoges to Warsaw on a four-day #Interrail pass, fewer connections if possible.
Current suggestions:
06:37 Angouleme - Lille - Antwerp - Amsterdam Zuid 16:54. Buy "snacks". Overnight.
08:00 Amsterdam Centraal - Berlin Hbf - Warsaw Centralna 21:00
09:35 Angoulême - Strasbourg - Basel - Zurich 17:26 / 21:40 Zurich - Wien 06:32 (pillage lounge)
08:10 Wien - Krakow - Warsaw Centralna 18:24
@siegeavecvue @ari
European Sleeper has some night trains that can be used on that route.

@interrailinfosvenska @ari A third route with the #EuropeanSleeper hatched, but it involves #Eurostar
09:02 Limoges - Paris Austerlitz 12:32
14:22 Paris Nord - Amsterdam 17:50
22:34 Amsterdam - Berlin 06:07
08:00 Berlin - Warsaw 13:00
@siegeavecvue @ari Why Eurostar? Just hop over the border from Lille to Brussels and take ES from there
@interrailinfosvenska @ari Good point. Amsterdam for, um, 'culture'.
@interrailinfosvenska @siegeavecvue @ari Some alternatives (until #EuropeanSleeper is back on Paris-Berlin):
1. Angoulême - Paris - Basel - (night train) Berlin - Warsaw.
2. Angoulême - Paris - Munich - (night train) Warsaw.
Option 2 works in a single Interrail day (if delays stay below 55 mins), unfortunately the timetables don't align so you need an extra change in Mannheim or so. Or sleep in Paris if you want to make it 3 trains.
@interrailinfosvenska @siegeavecvue @ari Some more options from @stefanlindbohm's Railfinder: https://www.railfinder.eu/search?from=13894&to=35802&date=2026-02-08
(Unfortunately the Munich-Warsaw night train isn't found due to data issues, see https://mastodon.social/@stefanlindbohm/115740168280452634)
(Edited: data issues aren't PKP's fault)
@cycling_on_rails It’s not actually PKP’s fault - it’s reported in a special way that is correct but so far we don’t support :). Eurail had a fix implemented for Rail Planner a while back so it should show there!
As soon as we get some booking reliability issues sorted, we’ll get back to a list of some edge cases, including this, to fix in our planner
Thanks for referencing us btw!
@stefanlindbohm Thanks, edited the previous toot to clarify :)
@stefanlindbohm @cycling_on_rails @interrailinfosvenska @ari I was trying desperately to remember you earlier today but had brainfog. Now playing. 👍
@cycling_on_rails @interrailinfosvenska @ari @stefanlindbohm
06:21 Angouleme - Paris 08:40 or 05:57 😱 Limoges - Paris 09:33
10:53 Paris - Stuttgart 14:14
15:17 Stuttgart - Munich 17:16
18:35 Munich - Warsaw 08:00
I'd be up for that, but I suspect the v early start is not for them. But I've put it here for completeness. 😉
@cycling_on_rails @interrailinfosvenska @ari They're seniors and not into rushing, but option two would be ideal.
Meanwhile Angoulême-Strasbourg-Basel-(night)-Berlin-onward a solid contender from #Railfinder
I feel I'm missing context (some toot not shown?): who are "they"?
@cycling_on_rails @interrailinfosvenska @ari "...a mission to get someone" 👈 them
right, thanks!
I should get some sleep, running a bit low on that and it's not even DB's fault.
