February 24: woke up at 4am to join a friend who tried to reach Frankfurt from Köln via Regional trains. Our very first RE collected so much delay out of Köln Hbf that we wouldn't make it on time, meaning my friend had to buy an ICE ticket for a train that's 25 minutes late while I go back on an RE that's half an hour late.
People, IT'S NOT EVEN 7! THE SUN IS NOT EVEN OUT YET! If 5 in the morning is not safe from delays, then really, what's left?
Correction: instead of taking the half-an-hour-late RE I ended up taking a third train that canceled its further trip due to delays and departed back from Bonn with "only" 15 minutes delay.
The Sun is still not out.
