Kostrzyn is a BIG and SERIOUS city with a direct train connection to Warsaw!! pay no attention to the fact it's only one pair, running in the middle of the night...

fortunately DB Regio isn't above delaying the connecting train by a few minutes to help the poor commuters get home on time. well, at least those who don't mind doing their cardio on DB property, that is

all in all, I can really recommend gambling with your time with DB Regio. there's nothing more exciting than seeing your train get delayed by 10 minutes, absolutely destroying your 5-minute changeover, then minute by minute catching back up, only to lose it again at the last mile

now, at this point I could have chosen a reliable connection with one change... or a combo of four trains with not one, but two very tight 5-minute changeovers, for a chance of getting to Hamburg 20 minutes early.

so of course I chose the more exciting option

a comfortable 2-minute changeover. and somehow DB Navigator *really* didn't want to tell me about this option
