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 similar anecdata from yesterday evening: RJ82 going (I think) from Bologna to München Hbf. I got on in Innsbruck where it was 17 minutes late. Onboard systems showed projected arrival times for further stops (delay stays more or less the same). After Rosenheim (first stop in Germany) the screens switched to showing the train on time (it clearly wasn't) for the last two stops (München Ost and München Hbf) while Train manager was announcing the delay over loudspeaker at the same time.

@das_aug @grlodi That line across the Brenner is legendary for ridiculously bad live info. Within Italy it only even shows as going as far as the border. The data systems *EXIST* to solve all of this, but so many railways simply do not use them. (DE-BE on a ICE it works solidly meanwhile)
