Trains direct to Warnemude from TXL???

[DONNAKG]

Hello-- Do I understand this correctly..???

 

there are 2 trains direct, no change, from Berlin TXL airport to/ from

Warnemunde cruise port?

One is the ICE ? where could I find the schedules & rates?

Another is the CONNEX? where is the info for this ?

is one faster than the other?

 

We would like to travel by train from the airport a day or 2 before Aug 22nd.2014 cruise Royal Princess.

On the return we would like to again take the train into Berlin and stay 2 more nites.

We will have 2 large suitcases.

Is there baggage compartments?:confused:

thanks Donnakg

When I looked at the German Railway website I didn't see anything direct. The journeys I saw all started with a bus ride. But you are right, the interconnex one does not have any platform changes.

You can access the railway site and put in the departure information at:

 

http://www.bahn.de/i/view/USA/en/index.shtml

 

Here is a screen shot of what I found around a 10 am departure.

 

Now, if you can get to the Main Station in Berlin you can do the interconnex a lot easier. Sorry they turned out blurry-- something happens when I upload to photobucket.

Hi,

Sorry but there are NO direct connections between TXL and Warnemünde. We have to wait for our new airport for that, although when that will happen is anyone's guess :rolleyes:. You must first take either a bus or taxi from TXL to Berlin Hbf. (mainstation)

 

The two trains you are thinking of are the InterConnex (private train company) departing Berlin Hbf at 10:59, arr Warnemünde 13:51 and the ICE (DeutscheBahn) departing Berlin Hbf 17:23, arr Warnemünde 19:45.

Otherwise, there is an RE (DeutscheBahn) departing every two hours from 8:44 onwards, travel time to Rostock about 2hrs 40mins.. From there you can take the S-bahn or a taxi to Warnemünde.

 

In the reverse direction the Connex departs Warnemünde every day at 14:07, arr Berlin Hbf. 16:58. There is an ICE on Saturday only departing Warnemünde at 8:01, arr Berlin 10:32.

Otherwise the RE service from Rostock departs every two hours from 8:34 onwards.

 

There is very little difference in the speed of the three services although the using RE would take longer as you have to change in Rostock.

All the main-line trains are modern, comfortable, air-conditioned and have plenty of luggage space. So good in fact that 1st.class is not really worth the extra, certainly not on the ICE.

 

For the InterConnex, tickets can be bought on the train or booked on-line at www.interconnex.com (all in German but easy to follow).

For DB trains, tickets can be bought on-line at http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/bin/query.exe/en , from a machine, in the ticket office or on the train. Special fares, a considerable saving, will be available on-line from 1/6/2014 but they go fairly quickly.

Happy cruising :)

Hi, thank you for your appreciation.

There are always taxis available, they never miss a chance!

Rostock station - outside the main northern entrance (well signed from the main concourse under the station). Warnemünde - in the parking area of the cruise terminal.

Happy to help if you need more info. :)
