No, but you are very impolite, my friend

It's actually 2 minutes faster (40 minutes). Indeed it seems that after the last plan revision, the trains between Bamberg and Nuremberg now take much longer, than in 2010/2011 when I was still a regular on that route. Too bad and sorry for the misinformation.
Not to worry, that's a relatively small detail (20-30 minutes). Greatly appreciate the sample itinerary - we'd never heard of Bamberg, although we got to Nuremberg last December. This gives us a good starting point/plan, which is what we need. Looking at an entire country and trying to set up an itinerary from scratch can be intimidating, particularly when looking at a map doesn't necessarily reflect the complexity/time of travel between two points (which matters greatly - we're not going to drive and we don't want to spend too much time 'in transit').
