Hi Ole - That's a 3-4 hour train journey with 3 changes (and a cab ride at the end? not sure where the venue is relative to the train station). Having been to all of the IETF venues except Stockholm, I'm unclear to which venues you might be referring. Could you clarify? As far as I can recall, the Yokohama trip was the only one any great distance from an airport and the train pretty much went straight there (e.g. no "3 changes") in an hour or so with trains every 30 minutes or so. There was a reasonable length cab ride at the end. London had a train as well, but shorter and a short walk at the end. I literally can't think of a single venue we've been at that is anywhere near this far from a national/international class airport. I also can't think of any venue where the last hop from the airport required more than one change - and that was the Yokohama train/taxi switch. So which ones and why did you consider them problematic? Mike _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
