Köln West, Dormagen Chempark, Bottrop Boy, Voerde, Oberhausen Holten, Düsseldorf Eller, Hilden

I'm on my way from Greece to Germany
Thessaloniki airport
Flight Thessaloniki-Athens
It is possible to take the train on this route, but if there is a change of flights it's more comfortable by train


Athens airport looks much busier now than 4 months ago, back in January


There are many planes in the air

Landing in Frankfurt

Here in Frankfurt it is much easier to change between flights and rail
Taking the high speed line to Cologne








It is actually possible to do the freight train spotting without leaving Köln
At Köln West station, there are many trains on the West Rhine railway
