so, i'm hitting DB bingo on my way to a cutie :/
IC 2311, delayed on Sylt by almost an hour because:
- signal failure
- level crossing failure
- backlog on single track line
further delayed on the way down
late in Harburg
delayed there by another broken level crossing
continuously being slowed, half the time our conductor doesn't know why either
now being diverted around Münster because checks notes Entschärfung einer Fliegerbombe
i don't wanna anymore, this is so unfair, and i'll get basically fuck all in compensation for it and it keeps getting worse and the time keeps slipping and at this point i don't believe they'll get me there before 9pm even tho for now the arrival is "only" around 7pm

this is so unfair, why does DB go fine when I don't need it and then keep stealing time so hard when i desperately wanna be somewhere, and i can't even change my plans at the destination because i just know more things will happen
this is screwing my autism so hard rn it's making me basically nonfunctioning, nevermind that i really really want to be with the person at the other end of this ride rn

and a second bomb defusal, Duisburg this time
this isn't fucking real, how can one journey have this many disruptions

i've been bahned this hard in terms of amount of delay before. i'm not sure i've ever hit this many individual different disruptions.
Show threadash Mar 10
nevermind all the small things and accumulating unexplained delays, i've had both my stated reasons on bahn.expert (level crossing, bomb defusal) be superseded because both of them have happened twice in this run

Duisburg is a Geisterbahnhof today, we zoomed through past the empty platforms without stopping :D
at least no further delay for it

i always hear about how 'good' eurupean passenger rail is compared with amtrak; this sounds like it's the same as amtrak.

@mairi i swear i've taken something like 77,000km of trains in Europe last year, and i've seen a lot of things but this is way outside what i'm used to. this is bad. it's like all the things that go wrong sometimes happened at once, in an area already not known for amazing punctuality.

@darkphoenix

yeah, i've never had so many things go wrong on amtrak, and i've ridden almost all of amtrak
