Interrail trip 4 - the journey continues
Posted by grahame at 20:26, 23rd July 2026
 
Lisa and I have travelled through former East Germany and are now beyond.   No detailed log as I might do for UK journeys, but we have seen platform changes, delays, crowding, and a train terminated short and having to rush over tp another.  These things are not unique to the UK, and the number of incidents I could report is such that I can be sure they're not as unusual over here as might be wished either.

Would anyone care to hazard a guess - or perhaps more than a guess at any of these?   Bearing in mind they are a bit specialised, please feel free to identify several if you can

Hmmm ... 

Very kindly, grahame gave me a printed sheet of A4 detailing their itinerary for their 'grand tour' of Europe.

I'm still struggling - but will hopefully offer a couple of suggestions here, when I've mulled them over with a mug of coffee and slices of chocolate cake.

Lest it be thought that I have 'inside information' here, I don't. 

The printed itinerary which grahame gave me tells me where he is now - not where he was when he took those pictures. 

After two mugs of coffee and two slices of chocolate cake to give my brain some energy, I can offer the following:

1.  A hybrid train, somewhere in Poland.  Sorry, that's the closest I can offer.

2.  Vienenburg station, Lower Saxony.

Other members of the Coffee Shop forum, familiar with Europe, will do far better than me on this one.

Both 3 and 5 look like the HSB - seen last time in Wernigerode Bahnhofsplatz - which is where both of these are too, I think.
