Really curious about the route my ICE will take between Köln Messe/Deutz and Aachen, given that it'll be 1h40. We're even going relatively fast at 140 km/h.
@jon I think this time the closure is specifically Köln Hbf? But since we're on the wrong side of the Rhine I think we pass by Mönchengladbach anyway, via Düsseldorf
@jon This is actually trackwork I don't mind, Köln Hbf does need improvement. What's unfortunate is the combination of holiday/high ICE demand and fewer trains.
