Liebe Bahnbubble. Ich bräuchte mal Hilfe. In der Auskunft der Bahn sehe ich, dass der RJ von Dresden nach Kopenhagen angeblich Fahrräder transportiert aber an der konkreten Verbindung ist ein durchgestrichenes Fahrrad abgebildet und Tickets scheint es auch nicht zu geben. Wo bekommt man Tickets inkl Fahrrad für diese Züge?
Edit: es scheint so, als ob fast jeder der Züge, auch nachts, schon gebucht ist. Mit den EC war wohl nicht alles schlecht.
It is beyond his comprehension that some people don't always want to cheat to win.
