Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  xxxNKW: Very possibly, but how about something along the lines of: "Ticketing for high-speed traffic between Germany and France takes the form of timetable-based sales" (which I interpret as fares that vary with peak/off-peak timings. I am not sure about this)
29 mins
agree  David Moore: "ticketing for high-speed traffic between Germany and France is on a schedule basis", I'd say - sounds more natural (British) than "schedule-based"
1 hr
agree  Ivan Nieves
5 hrs
neutral  Rolf Bueskens: German is rather bureaucratic! I think it means that tickets are valid for a particular scheduled train only, a practice that has been around in Germany for some years.
