tash<p>nearly posted something here a few minutes ago and i&#39;m glad i didn&#39;t, because i decided to do a bit more fact-checking first and let&#39;s just say that i got a good reminder of why it&#39;s important to check your sources. 🙃</p>

@jon can i ask you a quick question since i'm struggling to find the answer elsewhere? i'm trying to book a nightjet from paris to vienna for april/may, but it's showing as no tickets available. do you know if could this be because of the upcoming timetable change? or is it literally that everything is sold out even six months ahead?
