@sebwilken@mastodon.social @cycling_on_rails@mastodon.social @stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social It helps that Germany is multi-centric. But the Zurich train also serves as a late connection from Amsterdam to Köln or an early connection from Karlsruhe to Basel. By the looks of it, the Swedish trains are doing a similar thing, like, train 93 is a pretty neat connection from Gävle to Stockholm at half the price of the barely faster X2s.

@partim@social.tchncs.de @cycling_on_rails@mastodon.social @stefanlindbohm@mastodon.social No offense to Gävle, but Zurich, Amsterdam, Cologne and Frankfurt are simply in a different league.

@partim@social.tchncs.de Nitpick, but regular services with high speed trains north of Stockholm are X55 not X2. For some reason all SE high speed trains are incorrectly marked as X2 in DB/Hafas. @sebwilken@mastodon.social @cycling_on_rails@mastodon.social
