Return Train Connections

These connections are for furries who want to travel back home from EuroFurence 4 by train between 3rd and 5th August. Sorted by country and city. See here how to get to the con by train. Use these times at your own risk, they are not valid every day and I take no liability for typos. Better look up your times again before you board the train :) Have fun! unci
