Thanks Arno.
I am very much looking forward to this series of videos. Even me, a very experienced traveller who is a timetables’Nerd’, sometimes has difficulties with the electronic timetable! You might be surprised to learn, ‘how to choose the right station from the dropdown’ is my biggest problem.
Best wishes
Roger
I hope you’ll get something out of it Roger. Feel free to let us know. Annika will be showing the online timetable in a web browser, because that’s easier to demonstrate in a video, and it’s easier to use in the trip planning phase. Almost everything applies to the app too though.
Enjoy!
The first video is available here now: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkL7xs9cCyevNIOY-sBNBNU3aZ8Y_ZRxT. The other 4 will be added to the playlist in the coming weeks.
