After the first #DB #DSB #ECE #Eurocity train from #Hamburg to #Kopenhagen had a blocking brake near Rendsburg we had to switch to another one there after over an hour stop on the rails.
Now the new train (same type) is rolling, but electric power from the seat plugs was off until the headlights were switched on (after an hour), heating wasn't working first and the signage monitors behave strange: We were riding into the unknown...
Is this the #talgo230 and does it have design problems?
It's pretty calm actually! And the train already arrived so for the next half an hour I don't have to freeze outside.
Because of the strike in Belgium travellers are allowed to hop on any EuroCity or EuroCity Direct train regardless of the service you booked for. Really nice you don't have to worry about that.
Right after I stopped being a frequent traveler on the Budapest - Prague - Berlin railway line last autumn, most of the EuroCity trains got upgraded to be Czech Railjets.
I noticed because these trains almost literally pass through my backyard, finally took one for a 30min domestic trip yesterday.
Seems to be an upgrade compared to the old rundown MÁV & co. rolling stock.
Neither the schedule, nor the notoriously bad punctuality has improved though.
