As mentioned a few days ago, @OmioGlobal & I have had to postpone the #ZugGegenFlug experiment until early 2022 as rising Corona numbers and possible lockdowns mean doing it next month isn't possible...

We've put together more detail though! 👇

Quick 🧵
The reason we had wanted to do this in December is because that's when rail companies across Europe introduce their new timetables, and we wanted to test if these new, faster rail services do work as greener replacements for flights
We will run the experiment on 5 routes

Berlin - Bonn - Berlin

Zürich - München - Zürich

Hamburg - Frankfurt - Hamburg

Frankfurt - Brussels - Frankfurt

Berlin - München - Berlin

OK, so here's the idea for #ZugGegenFlug in Germany

Send two passengers on each of 5 routes (BER-MUC, BER-FRA, BER-Bonn, HAM-FRA, HAM-MUC), one on a train, one on a plane - and see who manages it fastest

Explained in the blog post 👇

The idea is essentially a German version of today's @seatsixtyone vs. @SimonCalder race in the UK today

Were there enough interest (and finance) we could add extra routes - either within Germany (Düsseldorf-München?) or to neighbouring countries too
