Yes, I think that may be the one I mean.  I haven't thought about it
in detail because I won't be on it :-).

I see we have answers from Joachim, thanks.

Yes, I would be happy to book from Banja Luka to Munich for anyone
that would like to join us.  I intend to book the sleeper from Zagreb
when bookings open and buy the local train ticket much closer to the
time.

I will ask Deutsche Bahn whether it is likely to be easy/possible/
difficult/expensive to change a booking from Zagreb to one from
Okucani, since if we can find suitable local road transport from Banja
Luka to Okucani that may be preferable to taking the train to Zagreb -
mostly because the Zagreb connection is 1h and I'm not sure how
reliable the local train is.

Ian.
