The number "2" on the window indicates that is a Second Class Coach; a number "1" indicates that it is a First Class Coach. The trains run on a set schedule about 30 minutes apart and it is a non-stop trip between the cities.  The trains are high speed and cruise along at about 125 miles per hour.

Just typical of the wonderful public transport systems available in most countries of Europe and greatly lacking in the US of A.

There are several stations (bahnhof) in Frankfurt.  Going to check and see if there is a connection at Frankurt-am-Main airport.

I have been to FRA a few times. The station is called 'Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof', approx. 5 mins walk from the main airport. Use this to search on the Die Bahn site.

Thanks for the hint, Libra:

Here are Lufthansa flight schedules to Frankfurt - no direct flights to Stuttgart or Muenchen, so most likely fly to Frankfurt-am-Main and take the DB ICE train from the Frankfurt Flughafen Fernbahnhof to (trains run daily)

STUTTGART
No. 513     LV 8:54     AR 10:08     
No. 579     LV 9:20     AR 10:33
No. 515     LV 10:54   AR 12:08
No. 573     LV 11:20   AR 12:33
No. 517     LV 12:54   AR 14:08
No. 575     LV 14:13   AR 15:31    End of daylight arrivals

MUENCHEN
No. 513     LV 8:54     AR  12:30
No. 721     LV 9:09     AR  12:51
No. 515     LV 10:54   AR  14:28
No. 723     LV 11:09   AR  14:51
No. 517     LV 12:54   AR  16:30   End of daylight arrivals

The Luftfansa flight schedule:  Moscow (SVO) to Frankfurt-am-Main (FRA)

LH 3189     LV 07.00     AR 08.25

LH 3183     LV 13.20     AR 14.45

LH 3183     LV 14.20     AR 15.45

LH 3187 LV 19.05     AR 20.30


There may be other flights that connect SVO with FRA but do not have time now to research.

So my uneducated guess is that teams fly to Frankfurt and then take the ICE train direct from the airport to either Stuttgart or Muenchen.

Chateau d If:
It looks like they are waiting to get on the train in daylight.  So the 20:30 arrival would not be the one.

Or they could fly to a different German city.

libra:
SVO-MUC - There are 3 direct flights: 2 on Aeroflot, the one on LH departs SVO 5:20pm and arrives MUC at 6:25pm.

I think teams will fly to FRA, there are only direct flights to FRA and MUC.

Bottles bashing is one detour, what is the other one? Fran/Barry's dance?

What is the roadblock this episode?
