Michael PiotrowskiI’m on my way back from #UndoneCS.
Since the journey to Luxembourg went so smoothly, I’ll again take the L40 bus from Luxembourg to Saarbrücken.
And of course, after leaving Saarbrücken Hbf with just +2, we’re now standing somewhere because the track is blocked by a broken down train.
The DB Navigator says “repairs on the catenary” and forecasts an arrival in Mannheim Hbf with +5, which seems to me suspiciously optimistic.
It seems to me that the Dutch engineer, who’s supposed to take over a cargo train in Koblenz or Duisburg, isn’t really convinced either…
And the delay has been updated to +11… And the ICE from Mannheim to Basel is announced with +5, which would be good iff we actually arrive in Mannheim with +11. Because with Deutsche Bahn, you always have to generously round up delays.
We are moving again!
Luckily, #ICE73 did NOT sit there for 7 minutes (as predicted by the SBB app), but arrived in Basel SBB with a delay of only 1 or 2 minutes.
This allowed me to catch the EC 67, and so @CerstinMahlow and I can have dinner at #Tibits in Bern.
So much for my #UndoneCS trip!
It seems that I got lucky: my train must have been one of the last to take the Bahn 2000 track between Olten and Berne…
