I am trying to get to Verdun, traveling on the train from Trier, Germany. A route that works best with my schedule requires a bus ride from Onville to Conflans-Jarny. Is the Onville bus station at the same location as the train station? I only have 20 minutes to get from the train to the bus.
Thank you!

Hi, Bonnie. Where have you found that schedule? I don't see that connection recommended in my sample tests through DB train schedules and not much info about the town online. If it's a "replacement bus" that the railway is running during construction on a line, then the bus stop is normally right outside the station.
I found it on the DB Bahn web site; copied below:

OK, I've done some research and it looks like certain rail journeys between Onville and Conflans-Jarny are subject to long-term bus substitution, due to either reconstruction works or pure lack of demand. Since this is an official TER bus replacement, the bus will leave from right outside the railway station and there should be plenty of signage to it. Twenty minutes will be plenty of time.
Thank you!!! :-)
