There it goes!
The train to Dillingen
from Bouzonville 
That runs 1 day a year - on Good Friday
@jon I guess you’ll explain why? Some local pilgrimage reasons?

@fiee There's a Good Friday market in Bouzonville. That's the excuse to run the special train. But the point is also political - on the German side there is some will to do this more. The French side, not so much.

Also it is pretty funny this train manager happened to ask me about all of this, given he - by luck - found about the most experienced and knowledgeable passenger he could have found, and one fluent in the three most useful languages for this train (French, English, German)
@jon I’m sure nobody else could have made this reservation, so he could only find you.
But he has a story to tell now. -

Genuine Interrail panic this morning
The Interrail app wouldn’t allow me to add a journey 🤯
No journey means no QR code to show to train managers…
Turns out: an iOS update broke it! You can’t SEE the Save button
Tap where I’ve circled and it works!
@jon that is an insane failure of integration testing

@hans_zelf @jon I'm aware
