I just noticed: #Arriva updated their route planner with actual train travel between #Leer (DE) and #Groningen (NL).

The first train connection is on Monday October 5 at 7:23. It takes two trains (transfer in Winschoten) and 80 minutes.

First connection from Groningen to Leer is at 5:38 the same day and is a direct train taking 59 minutes.

Of course those 59 and 80 minutes are without the 3959 day delay for that fff bridge.

@Pepijn on weekdays only the first two trains from Groningen and the last two trains from Leer are direct trains, at all other times a change in Winschoten is needed with not that excellent connections. On weekends there is a direct train Leer - Groningen all day.

Anyway. So at least soon we'll be again being able to cross between the northern Netherlands an Germany by train as if it's bloody 1876.

Also at about the same speed.

How cool.
