mkivinenThe residency week in Rinkøbing was great. I got to do a lot of bessewissering, and not just for my new and old friends, but for a general public as well.
Now off to Berlin! Five trains, of which four start in Denmark.
DB delivers. Train from Kolding to Hamburg late/cancelled, leg from Hamburg to Berlin uncertain. Colour me surprised. Let’s see if I’ll get to Berlin today.
Ok, there’s a rail problem of some kind, so another detour via Bad Oldsomething. This journey has so many legs it’s turning into a centipede.
Also, I realised there was something wrong only when everyone else rushed out in Neumünster.
Got to Berlin, and just an hour later than planned. Then again, I had counted for some leeway and a proper lunch break in Hamburg, which changed into constant timetable checking and a dash to a fast food stall.
Because of cancellations, trains were full, and once again first class pass made traveling way more comfortable. Even to the point of absurdity: in the bursting full train I had the first class wagon all to myself.
Martin Hoffmann@mkivinen The Kolding to Hamburg leg isn’t DB’s fault, though. This is DSB thinking they can just put new trains into service without much testing and everything will be fine and there definitely is no backup plan necessary.
