Damn it’s not my day

ICE Berlin-Köln gets stuck between Hannover and Wunstorf due to police incident, track blocked

I go back to Hannover. Take a IC to Fulda. That gets delayed due to… police being called to remove a passenger at Kassel

So connection missed in Fulda. Means I’ll miss the ICE in Frankfurt (Flughafen). So l’ll be in Bruges 6 hours late… 😳

@jon Is it unique to Germany that there are so many police interventions in rail services? I’ve never encountered this in the UK, but maybe the information isn’t relayed to passengers in the same way

@mrmarkporter I don’t think it’s unique. But it does happen A LOT!

@mrmarkporter
the situation in Wunstorf (suspected homicide in a forrest near the tracks) is pretty unique, the others not so much.

@jon I’m sorry. It’s hard still to think positive after all that.

@jon Ha ha, you should have taken the plane instead 😜

@LaurensSwinkels Strike at BER today. And I wouldn’t on principle for this trip…

@jon I know, I follow you for a while with your struggles on cross-border rail travel in Europe 🙂 I like going by train myself too, even if it takes a bit longer. You are just a bit unfortunate today. Good luck with your trip!

And you are sure that you are on a railroad trip - not an adventure game?
