I don't think words can describe how happy this report made me. It's like reading a summary of every geohash I did for the 8 months I was there. Heck, it's like reading a summary of every time I went <i>outside</i> fot the 8 months I was there! Thank you for putting into words what I could only feebly complain about to others! And I'm so happy you made it! -- [[user:thepiguy|<nowiki>[[user:thepiguy]]</nowiki>]] 17:19, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Great report :). Haven't been able to hash for ages so when a report as descriptive and engaging as this comes along you let me live vicariously :P -- [[User:Ephphatha|Ephphatha]] 00:30, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

Feel free to tell Robyn how she should have done better, or to correct her German.

Better than Robyn? Impossible! It's a wonderful report. :)
"I'm guessing there are no request stops in Germany, where you pull down the signpost, or at night set out a flare, to get the train to stop to pick you up." - Yes there are. You have to push a button to make the train stop. There are stop request buttons inside these trains too. I find the concept of setting up a flare at night incredibly cute - At a station like that, I wouldn't even think of having to mess with the train signals! I have to visit Canada! -- relet 11:23, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Note that passenger travel by train is pretty rare in Canada, except for a few commuter and interurban routes. It's possible that it's been ten or fifteen years since I rode an actual train in Canada. It may have been thirty years ago that I last used a request stop, and I was disappointed at the time that it wasn't night, so I didn't get to use a flare. -Robyn 12:35, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
