Mixed impressions, Nov 7/8, 2014
So November is really mild, and continuing the day of nice sky impressions, I took even more photos. Yesterday (November 8) I went to Oberhausen to pay OpenRheinRuhr a visit, my motto to “ignore the train driver strike” fully paid off, also when we went to the Allerheiligenkirmes in Soest in the afternoon as a group of friends.

Useful links for GDL union action aka “Bahnstreik” in Germany, Nov 6-10, 2014
English: – hier klicken für die deutsche Version
UPDATE: According http://www.zeit.de/mobilitaet/2014-11/gdl-beendet-bahn-streik-schon-samstagabend the strike will end tomorrow (Saturday Nov 8th, 2014) at 6pm!
So there’s another union action against Deutsche Bahn which started at Thursday Nov 6, 2014, 2am and will end Monday Nov 10, 2014, 4am. Good news is, about one third of Deutsche Bahn trains will still operate according to an emergency schedule which is available on-line. Bad news is that they most probably won’t be able to stick to the schedule so you should not try reaching any important appointments while relying on it. Here are some useful links for this situation:
Timetable information:
- See this link for realtime information – at least the Deutsche Bahn promises it’s up to date
- See http://www.bahn.de/p/view/home/info/streik_gdl_102014.shtml for an overview of information about the union action from Deutsche Bahn (in German)
- See http://www.bahn.de/blitz/view/nrw/uebersicht.shtml for an overview about the current operation of regional trains in NRW (in German)
- See http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/ for realtime information (multilingual) – look for red and grey triangles, they might point to information saying the train is cancelled!
- The spare schedule for long distance connections is available as PDF (in German)
Alternative transport options:
- Coach metasearch: http://en.busliniensuche.de/ – book early to avoid disappointment
- Transport metasearch: http://www.fromatob.de/ – don’t rely on the Deutsche Bahn results too much during the strike
- Carpooling: http://www.carpooling.co.uk/ – http://www.blablacar.com/
- Press release Eurobahn – they are only affected indirectly

Deutsch: – click here for the English versionÄNDERUNG: Laut http://www.zeit.de/mobilitaet/2014-11/gdl-beendet-bahn-streik-schon-samstagabend endet der Streik schon morgen (Samstag 8.11.14) um 18:00 Uhr!
Es gibt seit heute einen weiteren GDL Streik gegen die Deutsche Bahn, von Donnerstag 6.11.14 2:00 Uhr morgens und Montag 10.11.14 4:00 Uhr morgens. Die gute Nachricht ist, daß ca. 1/3 aller Züge fahren, es gibt einen Notfallfahrplan, der auch in die Online-Auskunft eingeflossen ist. Die schlechte Nachricht ist, daß der Notfallfahrplan nicht unbedingt eingehalten werden kann, so daß man sich für wichtigen Termine nicht darauf verlassen sollte. Hier sind ein paar nützliche Links für die Situation:
Fahrpläne:
- Unter http://www.bahn.de/liveauskunft verspricht die Bahn Echtzeitinformationen
- Unter http://www.bahn.de/p/view/home/info/streik_gdl_102014.shtml gibt es eine Übersicht über die verfügbaren Informationen zum Streik seitens der Deutschen Bahn
- Unter http://www.bahn.de/blitz/view/nrw/uebersicht.shtml gibt es eine Übersicht über die aktuelle Situation des Nahverkehrs in NRW
- Unter http://reiseauskunft.bahn.de/ gibt es Informationen in Echtzeit – bitte auf rote und graue Dreiecke achten, die auf Zugausfälle hinweisen können!
- Den Ersatzfahrplan Fernverkehr gibt es als PDF.
Alternative Transportmöglichkeiten:
- Fernbus Metasuche: http://www.busliniensuche.de – früh buchen, um Enttäuschungen zu vermeiden
- Transport-Metasuche: http://www.fromatob.de/ – während des Streiks sind die Ergebnisse für die deutsche Bahn sicher mit Vorsicht zu genießen

Speckled wood butterfly, Sep 15, 2014
Speckled wood butterfly, 15.09.14 This guy seems to love nettles, at least he kept still until I could take this shoot 😉 In German it’s a “Laubfalter”, at least using the very nice web page “Die Schmetterlinge Deutschlands” lets me think so. I found him in Technologiepark, right where I described it to be a nice place to spot them in this post.
