How would one theoretically get from Dresden to Lübeck using only regional trains?  :hmmm:

Slowly?

Just tried on reiseauskunft.bahn.de for June 1. Just five trains with 7:46 hours :sleep:

Dresden 9.06 RE 50 > Leipzig 10.50
Leipzig 11.04 RE 13 > Magdeburg 12.44
Magdeburg 13.03 RE 20 > Uelzen 14.46
Uelzen 15.01 ME RE3 > Lüneburg 15.24
Lüneburg 15.45 RE 83 > Lübeck 16.52

Fastest connection would take 4:57 hours with three trains which would start two hours later and arrive one hour earlier but would cost €47 instead of €9.

Absolutely superb, thank you so much. I will use this route in June and report back! :thumbsup: :beers:

This would make quite a cool urban diorama!

And a better shot of the guide rail near the canopy supports.

In other general news:

I have secured myself a room for June/July/August here in Dresden. It is very close to Bahnhof Neustadt. It will be nice to have my own room, as currently I am still sharing a dorm at the hostel with 4 others!

Taking a moment to generally philosophise and ponder, I would like to move up the Elbe to Hamburg in September. It is becuase I already feel I have itchy feet. The fact that Hamburg has such an interesting harbour is a major selling point for me. It means I will have spent 6 months in Saxony, which is quite a good innings.

Sounds good, Matt.

Hamburg also sounds like a very good plan. I just returned from Hamburg the other week and it's always a delight.

I always find Hamburg central station to be a point of interest.




The CD EuroCity should look fimiliar  ;)

Also, don't forget to see Miniatur Wunderland. Always a treat.

Best,
Michael

Seconded for Minitur Wunderland - I spent 2 days in that place. Phenomenal work and hugely enjoyable.

A Tatra T4 tram running in Dresden Neustadt today. These come out on special occasions - it may be because of the Pfingsten celebration tomorrow.

Hi all,

Scorching hot weekend here in Dresden. I recently moved into a flat share. Nice room and only a stone's throw from Bahnhof Neustadt.

I am living directly adjacent to the old goods yard area. It is a bit odd, some of the yard is still intact and well-serviced, with clean-looking and even new catenary. The line running towards the yard from the passenger station is freshly ballasted. However I have yet to see a single loco or wagon.

There's lots of evidence of old railway buildings around, mostly converted to art studios and the like. It is great to live in a railway-infused zone!

It is very sobering, however, to consider the role which this very goods station played in the holocaust deportations. I can't quite align it in my head with the positivity and niceness of this part of town.

Today I got a good shot of a tanker train around t'back of t'station.



And some of the old infrastructure (visible from the station main road), from when the yard was in full usage.

Nice to read of your continuing adventures - hope the flat share goes alright.
Interesting infrastructure to find and look for!
