[ Adding community@lists.debian.ch as probably some ppl there could be interested in this. Please follow up on debconf-discuss@lists.debconf.org. ] Hi Sorry for replying so late. I was away over the week-end. I went to the travel office again today and changed the plan for the trains going back. I now also plan to travel on Friday. I updated the information on http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/Debconf9/Travel/TrainBooking with the trains I currently plan to book.

Is your option the same as this latter, or > something different? Will it cost significanly less than GBP 150 (165e)? This is why the interrail pass is a much better option. If you have an interrail pass you only have to pay 12€. Madrid - Mulhouse is 131€ then. Gaudenz -- Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better. ~ Samuel Beckett ~
