Already planning for #ecir2024 in Glasgow? Here's some carbon emission statistics from the man in seat 61 @seatsixtyone: "Cut CO2 emissions by 90% by taking the train instead of plane..."https://www.seat61.com/CO2flights.htm

The Deutsche Bahn (https://www.international-bahn.de/de/search) provides the best rail planner, if you ask me. Surprisingly, Nijmegen-Glasgow can be done in less than 11 hours. #ecir2024 (much faster than for instance Nijmegen-Ostrava -- to name some random European destination)

Most rail planners do not provide any option for Nijmegen-Glasgow... #ecir2024 #brexit #sigh

Dear @ecir2024, any suggestions for buying online rail tickets in the UK? (and while you're at it, can we please welcome Scotland back into the EU soon, thank you?)

@djoerd Nice! Agreed, bahn.de (also their navigator app) is quite capable for international travel. Pro tip: If traveling anywhere on the German railway network (or elsewhere where delays are frequent), use the "Options -> Transfer Time" setting to give yourself more buffer time when changing trains. Makes for a much more predictable journey, in my experience.

@moritz_negwer Thanks, I had my fair share of unpredictable journey in Germany lately.

@djoerd @arjen @gijs Yes, Euston Street station is different from St Pancras International, where the Eurostar arrives. But it's 'only' a 12-minute walk from St Pancras to Euston station.

@djoerd @heinragas @gijs I prefer crowd funding
