Typical #CrossBorderRail moment: DB informs me that I will be delayed in Hamburg; but the onboard screen doesn’t show any delays at all after the Danish border.
*Insert mandatory data sharing between railway companies speech from @jon here*
In other news, this is also my first time on one of the Talgo train sets used on Copenhagen-Hamburg. First impression is that the seats are a little hard, not fun for a 4.5h journey.
@jon Yes, still in DK. My guess was that the person responsible to update the timetable on the danish side didn’t care about updating anything in Germany, but if they use the same systems it’s even more of a mystery!
Also fun side note: for whatever (unexplained) reason, the ECE was cancelled between Copenhagen and Ringsted so everyone had to first board an overcrowded IC to Ringsted and then change. I wonder why they couldn’t depart from CPH given previous ECE 398 seems to have been on time.
@jon @grlodi I don’t think any data sharing of live info exists outside of Railteam members yet..? I certainly never saw a single data source showing both DK and DE live data, so the info screens in coaches need to pick one. Seems they chose the DK data.
(In DB Navigator going the other direction it projects delays based on the time in Padborg, but that isn’t actually live data in DK.)
