Set out prepared:
- Plan your journey in advance on the 9292 website.
- Check in time whether you can still make your connection. It can be crowded. Therefore, for the return journey, do not gamble on the last train, but take an earlier train. As much as we understand that you want to stay until the very last moment…
- When travelling, keep an eye on the digital screens and public announcements at stations and on trains for up-to-date information.
