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.
@grlodi Talgo? 🤷♂️ All sorts of headaches with those trains still.
re the data - I'd wager it's something in DB's RIS, but I cannot access that as I am not a DB employee 🙂
@jon There’s a Talgo employee on board (orange vest with Talgo label) looking around, so I guess that was indeed a Talgo problem. Hurray for DB!
Now I just hope we will arrive not too late to avoid missing my connection in Hamburg.
