The implication in a railway sense is that the clock ticks over and lots happens (a load of connections, basically) but also that it does so at the same "tick" of the clock each hour.<br /><br />In essence, "Taktfahrplan" translates as something like "clockface regular-interval timetable with planned connections". That there's no English word for it says a lot! :)Neilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739094192244593533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-17636904869652270922021-01-13T17:13:43.631+00:002021-01-13T17:13:43.631+00:001.

"M for Metro" differentiates the high frequency (at least every 10 minutes) "main" tramlines, marketed as "Metrotram", from the lower frequency services, which are just numbered. <br /><br />3. The journey planner screenshot contains the phrase "Maskenmuffel riskieren mindestens 50 Euro" - a classic Germanic (humorous?) wording that "mask-grumps [i.e. non-wearers] risk at least 50 Euros"LWBMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7432323264902617108.post-84581096735870827112021-01-13T10:02:57.841+00:002021-01-13T10:02:57.841+00:00The peak hour extras on S1 do appear in the timeta...The peak hour extras on S1 do appear in the timetable, but as a separate set of trains at the end of the Mon-Fri table.
