I will be travelling next month from Brig to Strasbourg having alighted at Brig from the Glacier Express. I'm then staying 1 night in Strasbourg.
I see there are engineering works near Mulhouse so there are limited trains running Basel to Strasbourg for most of July and most journeys require a change of train at St Louis (Haut-Rhin) - the online timetables indicate a 4 minute connection. is this on an adjacent platform or would it require use of stairs etc as I will have luggage with me?
Alternatively the DB bahn.de site shows an option to use ICE from BAsel and a 10 minute change at Offenburg to Strasbourg - this option also has a slightly longer conection at Basel which seem to be adjacent platforms. (10 to 11) if going via Mulhouse I have 10 (or 40) minutes to change from platform 10 to 31 at Basel which preumably is some distance to walk?
I will be on an Interrail ticket so it doesn't mater which way I go - presumably it would be better to use the ICE via Offenbourg?
Thanks.
