Today‘s #CrossBorderRail os the direct ICE Berlin-Paris, starting with +10 and already announced to arrive with a +40 delay in Paris EST due to objects on the line around Frankfurt. But as my TER home only leaves Bercy at 16:30, it won’t change my overall travel time (🤞).

This train is packed beyond the last seat. But it only has 8 carriages. It’s the fourth time I am taking Berlin-Paris direct, and it was always that busy. Maybe it would make sense to run a long ICE or offer it more than once a day? It also seems a good chunk of passengers is traveling the full length…

For whatever reason the screen announced 11:23 arrival FFM. But we are not even past Aschaffenburg. But of course the archetype Nervous German is already clogging up the vestibules and gangways…

@samy What are you doing in Aschebersch? Are they doing shenanigans again?

@partim route between Fulda and FFM is blocked… they are taking us the „scenic“ route instead…
Show threadMartin Hoffmann6d ago
@samy Oh, it wasn’t even planned. Well, good thing you are on the direct train.

Indeed. Arrived in FFM +75. Will miss my connection in Paris, but there is one an hour later at least.
