🇪🇺 Direct train connections

direkt.bahn.guru - Find all direct train connections from your city 🚅

crosspost from: https://sh.itjust.works/post/3477888

I just came across this tool, which - after entering a city - shows all other cities to which there is a direct train connection. A color code depicts the travel hours.

Examples:

Although I’m not quite sure yet on what occasion I can use the tool. But someday the moment will come :D

Btw. there is a Sparpreis search on https://bahn.guru/ with a monthly view (“On which day do I travel cheapest from A to B?”). Unfortunately the links to the store don’t work yet.

    I never knew that I can get to Hamburg in about 10 hours. Visiting Berlin by train is on my wish list now I will add Hamburg too.

        Why is the German rail infrastructure so shit for such a rich country? Even the Netherlands has a better system. Is it because of the car industry lobbyists?

          There is simple answer: there is too much to maintain.

          As a Czech I can tell that we have the denses rail network in Europe because we were in centre of Austria-Hungary. Communists didn’t want to tear it down and expanded public transport…

          Now even with heavy subsidies it is just too much.

            At least in Germany it’s due to partial privatization. To a degree. We still think it should be profitable and don’t treat it as the critical infrastructure it is.

              Here it is also partially privatised, but only train providers. National rail maintainer is SŽDC. I think that it is similar in Germany.
