What's the best way to get from ice 1291 to Basel.

What's the best way to get from ice 1291 to Basel. I have like 30 minutes to decide please help

@lunathemoongirl if you want to get there as early as possible, then you should get onto 60403 (in Karlsruhe or Mannheim); for that, you'd better disembark in Heidelberg.

@IngaLovinde thank you! I figured Heidelberg was a good idea but it's good to have confirmation. it's hard to tell when 90% of trains get canceled today it seems

@lunathemoongirl take re10a (delayed to 17:32, departing from track 2 in heidelberg) to Mannheim, then first ice towards Basel

@lunathemoongirl unless I fucked up with timezones again (bahn.expert told me that your train arrives to Heidelberg at 00:11 on February 6th which... technically is not wrong, but that's why I mentioned 60403 first )

@lunathemoongirl hmm although maybe S3 to Karlsruhe (departing 17:18 from track 8 in Heidelberg) is a better idea if you can make it to track 8 in time.
It's more reliable in a sense that Karlsruhe gets you closer to destination, and potentially more basel-bound trains will be there, while you won't lose too much time (compared to Mannheim option)

@lunathemoongirl not sure if you still need help? Sorry for fuckups with timezones, the specific Mannheim/Karlsruhe option I recommend might not be optimal, but at least from there you'll be able to get to Basel eventually even if that's going to be an hour or two later than with some alternative. At least disembarking in Heidelberg was definitely the right choice.
(It's difficult to try to find connections when all apps are using different timezones, some of them in glitchy ways, especially when using local timezones also means that it's February 6th already)
