Ride out of Hamburg is pretty comfy (tracks are decent here as well). It's no high-speed ICE but definitely no Talgo 230 either. Noise levels are fine*.

Info system is super nice. Instead of dumb games or ads it is simply explaining all features of the train.

*most noise is from Swedish people being much louder than needed to operate as a human being. It seems to be cultural

I'm still pissed at the #ComfortJet situation btw.

Trip to Berlin by #ComfortJet. Step one: the ComfortJet is cancelled, take any train.

&@£#!ffs

This was predicted last evening. And you'd think DSB, which has spare rolling stock, would put another train in that time slot. Nope: two departures of 500+ person trains just cancelled.

Anyway. Toddler and I found some seat reservations on the ONE reasonable alternative (can't make the earlier one, can't leave too late due to toddler being two #sleeptime).

Not a fun start.

Input needed from #Czech train users: In a #ComfortJet train, is the upgrade to 1st class worth it?
I have the option to purchase 1st class tickets (my employer is paying! it's allowed in the travel policy!) but I still feel a bit cheeky going from 2nd to 1st (am I being classist to myself? I feel like I don't belong there).
It's a 9 hours journey, so comfort does matter.

Apparently no #ComfortJet testrun for me today ...
Obwohl es eigentlich erst im #Fahrplan2026 so richtig losgeht, hatte der #Comfortjet sein Debüt in 🇦🇹 bereits am 6. Oktober. Seither verkehren die RJ 73 und 370 bereits mit den neun-teiligen Garnituren, welche dadurch von #Praha 🇨🇿 über #Wien bis nach #Graz kommen.
