I am planning this journey in Spain on 15 August:
Paris 20:25 to Strasbourg 22:11 with TGV 2465
Wait 41 minutes
Strasbourg 22:52 to Offenburg 23:22 with RS4 (87461)
Wait 13 minutes
Offenburg 23:35 to Hamburg 07:53 with Nightjet 470
Is the 13 minute connection in Offenburg too risky?
Normally I would NEVER rely on such at short connection i Germany. But the journey between Strasbourg and Offenburg is only 30 minutes long. It has good statistics on https://www.zugfinder.net/en/train-RB_87461. No delays for the last 30 days. And it looks like is has the tracks by itself. So i think it could work...
The TGV from Paris has not other stops and has also good statistics on https://www.zugfinder.net/en/train-TGV_2465. Only 3 delays (max 20 min) for the last 30 days.
But the Nightjet 470 is (of course) the last train of the day. And If I miss it, I will have to find somewhere to sleep in Offenburg. Will it be possible to have this cost refunded if this situation occurs?
My alternative would be an earlier train from Paris 18:54. But then I will not be able to have dinner at a nice French restaurant. (I will also need time to pick up my luggage from a locker somewhere)
