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.
webhat@partim I had this too, then 1 person got on the train and said it was their spot, they had the ticket for it. I explained that when i got on it was free and the conductor assigned the seats to me and my group. A helpful person then told me it was not my seat, demanded to see my ticket, and told me I needed to move. I told them they could get the conductor to remove me if they believed it was this other persons' seat, however, I was not moving
Never saw them again
@webhat If it were my reserved seat, I’d make a judgement call. If there were lots of unreserved seats or I would only be on the train for a short time, I’d let you keep it. For a six hour stint on a fairly busy train, I would certainly insist and go fetch the train manager if necessary.
