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?

I spotted a Danish Talgo 230 unit in Neumünster, Germany #trains #germany #deutschland #denmark #dänemark #danmark #talgo #travel #dsb #talgo230

I really don't think the ICE L looks good... not sure what the design-approach was beyond "make it look like an ICE" but it just doesn't feel as "fast" as the existing ones as it seems kinda "stocky".

But imo. this can be fixed with just a bit of livery change adding something like a line in the white space above the windows.

So here's a quick mockup based on this image 👀

@lewd DB did run ICE-L as ICE 1148 two days ago from Berlin Ostbahnhof to Düsseldorf Hbf. IDK if that was in *public* service or just a test ride.
@fluepke has been on board:

The rumours have been confirmed: #Flixtrain about to buy up to 65 #Talgo230 push-pull trainsets, same as Deutsche Bahn's ICE L class. 🥳
