@Schleifleistenbruch@ummels how do we define if it ought to be called Semmering? Old Bergbahn with steep ramps and stone viaducts? Or is there something more specific?

´There will be a proposal for cross-border rail transport, including the connection of five train stations to international HSL lines (e.g. Hengelo, Venlo, Heerlen, Groningen and Zwolle).' (1/3).

Guichet still can. Though they said this will not be permanently buy only during the migration period to another booking system.
Anyway, despite only 15 minutes in Strasbourg and the wasted time at the vending machine they could sell me my reservation in time at the counter.
