The prompt · ChatGPT

Plan a train trip.

Start / end: [details]
Days: [n]
Rail passes if any: [optional]
Luggage: [details]
Night trains OK: [yes/no]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A route shape with overnight logic.
2. Connection buffers to aim for.
3. What to check on official timetable sites (mark check).
4. Station change tips in general terms.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, prices, opening hours or bookings. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.

A short example

Fill the blanks, then paste. details: a short note you already have. n: a short note you already have. Leave the rest of the prompt as written.
