I think it’s still too early: I got this error when trying to book the
way there until a few days ago, and now I get it on the way back. So I
assume it will be bookable both ways very soon.

I’m really interested in that, either via Paris or Zürich (probably
doesn’t make a big difference from Karlsruhe). 

Anyways, we should make sure to have a complete list of train-interested
people, possible on http://wiki.earth.li/DebconfTravel2009/Trains (added
myself there now).

Great, looking forward to see you there.

Maybe we should, once we know how many people want to travel from where,
ask http://gleisnost.de/ (international train travel specialists in
Freiburg) for an comprehensive offer. They add a fee to their tickets,
but (according to them) are often able to provide cheaper tickets due to
strange combinations and special offers. I’m sure they’ll also check if
InterRail tickets are cheaper.

Greetings,
Joachim
