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.
Good morning! Good thing I didn’t spend the six ninety (six ninety!) for a reservation. This morning’s ICE is running at half length and I would have definitely chosen a seat in the missing part.
Tor Lillqvist@partim But that doesn't prevent somebody else from buying a reservation for the seat, surely? And is this thus counter-productive, it might make the person sitting there think they have a right to it?
@tml I’m hoping they thought of this when they designed the system.
@partim Maybe they do this as a nice gesture to people in First Class, on trains they "know" will not be sold out, so they can as well let the person sitting in a seat without a reservation have it automatically reserved for free?
But it becomes a problem then if people start relying on this feature.
