Thanks, looks like I'll be having fun with my non-existant German then :P

Unlike the UK, the Ticket Machines in Germany are multilingual, and the vast majority of the staff speak at least German and English. In fact, the first EF I went to we went by train all the way (and I'm doing so again this year), and went into the Ticket Office in Cologne and the clerk was from Newhaven (near Brighton and Eastbourne, fsvo "near") ;)
Cheers,

Well, you're free to ask them just to reply in German and pretend they don't understand your English *G*

Ich möchte zu "Eurofurence" gehen...Wo ist der Zug? ;)
And there endeth the (deliberately) bad German.
Top Tip: In general, departure boards at German railway stations ONLY show the Train Number, Destination and Platform. Fortunately, the online journey planner shows train numbers so you know what you're looking for, and there are departure sheets at the stations which show them as well.
Cheers,

¿Que? ::)
Of course they also show the departure time and the type of train. In fact, most on-platform departure boards, especially the older split-flaps, don't show train numbers _at all_.
