Dear Professor!
In the ticket agency I learned of the following possibilities:
| Dep Vienna Ostbahnhof | local | sleeping car | 9:20 P.M. |
| Arr Budapest Ostbahnhof | 7 A.M. | ||
| Dep Budapest Ostbahnhof | express | 9:20 A.M. | |
| (In service only from 16th of this month on) | |||
| Arr Poprádfelka | 5:12 P.M. | ||
| Dep Poprádfelka | (local) | 6:32 P.M. | |
| Arr Csorba | 7:06 | ||
| From there cog railway to Csorbató. | |||
| Dep Vienna Ostbahnhof | express | 8:30 A.M. |
| Arr Budapest Ostbahnhof | 1:40 P.M. | |
| Dep Budapest Ostbahnhof |
| Dep Vienna | express | 4:50 P.M. |
| Arr Galánta | 6:46 P.M. | |
| Dep Galánta |
So the I. modality is relatively comfortable, if you can get sleeping vouchers. The II. is wearisome, especially if you don't have any sleeping car vouchers. The III. requires changing trains three times and overnight wait (which, however, late arrival will shorten); instead, travel time is a few hours shorter. In cases I. and II. we would naturally see each other—which,
