we bought our tickets last night, I think we got a good deal.

Train (IC) leaves Dresden at 9:20.

Arrival in Leipzig at 10:28. We have a transfer there and only 7 minutes to do it. We arrive at track 13 and leave at track 13, I guess they are not too far ! Can you reassure me about that ?

Train (ICE) leave Leipzig at 10:35. Arrival in Erfurt at 11:18. Then we have 3 hours before our nex train. Time to take a walk and have a quick lunch. I guess we can found locket at the train station for our luggage, I'm I wrong ?

Train (Ice) leave Erfurt at 14:34 and arrive in Nuremberg at 17:28.

We arrive at track 13 and leave at track 13, I guess they are not too far ! Can you reassure me about that ?>

Well yes that is the same platform you come in on -may be the same train re-numbered going out? sometimes two trains are stacked on the same track - perhaps the train you come on in splits in Dresden, etc - anyone if train is on time - a kind of possible if in Germany nowadays - you should have no problem.

Your train arrives at track 13 and leaves from track 12. Both tracks are at the same platform, so your way is just 10 metres or so.

Erfurt main station has lockers.

The distance to the Krämerbrücke is 1.1km.

I made a typo ! We arrive at track 13 and leave from track 12. Thanks for your answers !

Yes just cross the platform but ALWAYS check the overhead monniker to see if there have been any platform changes - always possible in Germany if one train due to arrive at platform 12 say is late and is still sitting there, etc. There should be placards with the names of the destinations also on each train car (some trains may split en route).

did you get the optional seat reservations with your ticket - if not you may want to make some on the longer trips if in 2nd class as that can indeed at times be full - you can always stand and wait for seats to open up but a few euros may guarantee you a seat - can do on www.bahn.de/en site - seat reservation only or easily at any train station in Germany.

Thanks PalenQ. Yes we made seat reservation. It's 9 euros but it's not that much to buy peace of mind !

peace of mind can be priceless when you really have not experienced something yourself and may be thinking the worst!
