   I just discovered that you can go from #Munich to #London by #train really really easily:

   1. Nightjet 486 departs from Munich at 23:16 (3x / week)
   2. Arrives Paris Est at 9:38
   3. Take a Eurostar from Paris Nord, they run roughly once per hour
   4. Arrive in London 2.5h later, e.g. 13:30

   In terms of "active time spent traveling", this is as good as flying (get up early, head to airport, fly, train into London).

   It's more expensive though, because capitalism.

     If you're using the DB Navigator app, it won't tell you about this route. But it's there :-)

     In practical terms, the trip works like this:

     1. Have a normal day. Have dinner. Pack your stuff.
     2. When everyone goes to bed, you head to the station and board your night train.
     3. Sleep on the train, and get a small breakfast.
     4. Grab a crossaint and coffee in Paris. (optional, but c'mon. You want this.)
     5. Board the Eurostar. Get some work done.
     6. Arrive in central London in time for a late lunch.
