on `travelynx.de`
travelynx journey logging is based on checkin and checkout actions: You check
into a train when boarding it, and check out again when leaving it. Real-time
data is saved on both occasions, providing an accurate overview of both
into a train when boarding it, select a destination, and are automatically
checked out when you arrive. Real-time data is saved on both occasions and
continuously updated while in transit, providing an accurate overview of both
scheduled and actual journey times.
## Checking in
You can check into a train up to 10 minutes before its scheduled departure and
up to 3 hours after its actual departure (including delays). I recommend
doing so when it arrives at the station or shortly after boarding.
You can check into a train up to 30 minutes before its scheduled departure and
up to two hours after its actual departure (including delays).
First, you need to select the station you want to check in from.

As soon as you select a train, you will be checked in and travelynx will switch
to the journey / checkout view. If you already now where you're headed, you
should click/tap on the destination station in the station list now. You can
change the destination by selecting a new one any time.
## Checking out
You can check out of a train up to 10 minutes before its scheduled arrival and
up to 3 hours after its actual arrival. This ensures that accurate real-time
data for your arrival is available. I recommend checking out when arriving at
your destination or shortly after having left the train.
Once checked in, `travelynx.de` will show a list of all upcoming stops. Select
one to check out there. You can also check out at a specific station by
navigating to "travelynx.de/s/*station name*" and selecting "Hier auschecken".
If you forgot to check out in time, or are departing the train at a station
which is not part of its documented route (and also not part of its documented
route deviations), or are encountering issues with travelynx' real-time data
fetcher, the checkout action will fail with an error message along the lines
of "no real-time data available" or "train not found".
If you use the checkout link again, travelynx will perform a force checkout: it
will log that you have left the train at the specified station, but omit
arrival time, delay, and other real-time data. At the moment, this data cannot
be specified manually.
You are automatically checked out a few minutes after arrival at your
destination. If the train has already arrived when you select a destination and
its arrival was less than two hours ago, you are checked out immediately. If
it's more than two hours, it will not be included in the scheduled and
real-time data fetched by travelynx. In this case, you have to check out
without arrival data using the link at the bottom of the checkin menu's station
list.
