Choices!
ProRail doesn’t seem to care about the night train any more. Rather than allow it to depart on time, they let a goods train cross through the station right in front of it.
Is it me or is the legroom in the new class 408 interior rather small in first class? Don’t even want to know how tight second must be.

“Welcome on the ICE to Frankfurt. We currently have a delay of twenty minutes, no idea why.”

It is always kind of odd when the passengers know more than the crew.

Could have taken the RE from Arnhem to Duisburg rather than the ICE because we are now stuck right behind it. Let’s hope they have enough tracks available in Wesel so we can pass it there.
I was considering Frankfurt as my overnight stop. Luckily I ultimately decided against it.

@partim Someone set off some fireworks in an ICE. As these are legally „explosives“, the federal police closed the entire station of Siegburg down, evacuated the train, got their explosive detection dogs – the whole spiel …

Two ICE were stranded on KRM and had to turn around („Zurücksetzen“) to Montabaur.

@tonfolge I read about the drama last night. Probably also the reason why we are running half length this morning.
