Closing Notes:

One final thank you to everyone who participated. All the line operators and contributors... I can't thank you enough for supporting this event. It wouldn't have happened without each and every single one of you.

One Special Mention goes out to jbmccune for putting up with me nonstop while I was working on the tool that made all this work so smoothly. He deserves special thanks for that. :)

Thanks again to everyone who took the journey with us.... I'm sure we all made some new friends :) We hope to see you again at some point in the future for a new Let's Train event or just around SG in general :D

Final Update!

A big thank you to all the people who commented and enjoyed themselves! I'm so glad you had such a good time exploring the network.

As I've said to them multiple times, thanks to the operators and contributors. Without them this would not have happened!

Cross your fingers... It's only a short time now to find out if you've won! If you missed something, now's the time to get it done :D

Update #1

Thanks for all your kind words, I took a mini break after finishing this because I needed to just relax. I was 100% sure that any errors could be ignored for the time being and that they probably numbered few and far between. I've commented at this time to everyone who left a comment on my GAs. I will be back for the main post itself in a bit :D

Please continue to enjoy the train!

UPDATE #2

The final puzzle and all extra stops made by me are completed!
You just have to follow me home for clues. But then you might have to go elsewhere.
The sooner you start, the better as the hints take quite some time.

Good luck, and remember, it isn't required for you to do the puzzle, you choose to if you want to.
But I will give a hint: AAA I have never given before :)

Update #3

There was a tiny issue with one of the GAs involved in the puzzle. It was missing a link to vital information. My sincerest apologies. While I can't tell you which GA that was, because that'd be telling, I can say it's walking distance from the Ringbahn :)

Update 4

The S3 operated by Deutsche Bahn has begun operating between Hannover and Berlin. You can catch it from Berlin Hauptbahnhof, or start at Hannover Hauptbahnhof.

Let's Train! Ich bin ein Berliner Edition is finally open!

For the past couple weeks, we've been organizing and collecting GAs and getting descriptions sent out. Finally, everything is done.

Originally there were 480 spots to signup for Giveaways for this event. I'm almost positive at this point, we are over 600 GAs from side additions and extra things that have been added in!

A Giant thank you goes out to all Line Operators and Contributors!

A big thank you goes out to the following people who worked tirelessly and put up with me throughout the preparation for this event. These people worked quite hard to help bring you this event. Please, consider them for a whitelist spot, even if just for the duration of the event: HiroHiro, Klinge, SexyBudgie, jbmccune, CrystalGamer, SadisticChicken, eeev, Sinovera, Faraday, Momo1991, adam1224, and Per3zat.

Another special thank you goes out to MBcoder for helping me create a special line when I was running low on time.

The Netz is officially open for all passengers! But first you need to decide how you got to Berlin?

There are several options:

• Major Airline or Intercontinental Flight? Then you probably landed at Berlin Tegel Airport.
• Minor Airline like Ryanair or Easyjet? Or perhaps you're just very close. You might have landed at Berlin Schönefeld Airport.
• Perhaps you caught a Train into Berlin? You've likely arrived at Berlin Hauptbahnhof.
• Maybe you didn't have that much money and you caught a bus? Welcome to Zentraler Omnibusbahnhof.

The Train Network will be open until May 1st at 12:00 UTC. So start riding if you want to get as much out of it as possible!

Does it matter where you enter? Not really, we just thought it would be nice to give you the option of where to start your journey.

Before you embark on your exploration, you should probably talk to an information desk and take a map. You can of course forgo having a map, many people prefer to explore on their own. But in case you need it, there it is.

Blacklisted by a contributor? Sign-out of SG and continue along the path, or use incognito mode to follow it.

What can you expect to find? A lot of giveaways and a lot of Train stations. Some even have extra things attached to them. You might find a few puzzles, or mazes, but they are not common.

"But I don't like puzzles or mazes!"
No worries, they are not required to ride the official lines. They are all extra things put in by different contributors.

Outage Notice: Due to issues with the Berlin Transit Authority, the S9 is operating only on a night time schedule. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to our passengers.

There is no service interruption on the S2, however, some vandals have defaced signs on the S2 and posted the incorrect final destination. Work crews are out and trying to fix the errors as soon as possible.

Special Notice: My final puzzle is not complete. If you find something that seems like it should have something, and it doesn't. Bookmark it and come back later. I will announce on the thread, when everything is done. I still have to make a few more GAs but as they are not stations, they could wait.

There are two main network systems that make up the majority of the train systems in Berlin. The U-Bahn short for Untergrundbahn had its named copied by the S-Bahn (formerly known as the Stadt-, Ring- and Vorortbahenen).

These two networks make up 334 stations that people use to get around the capital city of Berlin.

At present the exact number of GAs is unknown. I will update later once I have time to account for all the side routes.

Thank you for your patience and please enjoy your Train ride!!!
