RensI am currently in Utrecht and want to arrive in Munich tonight. Off course it is possible to get #deutschebahned and arrive with a large delay in Munich, but hopefully we arrive in time. ICE 127 departed with 13 minutes delay from Amsterdam Centraal, so the challenge starts.
I have placed a bet* on 24 minutes delay arrival in Düsseldorf, but the current prognosis says 33 minutes.
*Today's travel is in a larger group. Some others collected bets when we were waiting in Utrecht, betting for the arrival delay in Düsseldorf (transfer location) and München (our destination).
Martin Hoffmann@RensBloom The Price Is Right rules: The winner is the closest who isn’t over.
@partim Announcement in the train says that ICE 727 will wait for transferring passengers in Duisburg. What do the rules say if the object changes? We will now transfer in Duisburg instead of Düsseldorf.
@RensBloom Not sure that happened on The Price Is Right. You are in uncharted waters now.
@partim announcement says ICE 727 would wait in Duisburg for a cross platform transfer.
Practice: we stop before Duisburg, ICE 727 passes by after 3 minutes, and we keep waiting after that. #bahned

@RensBloom And because it goes via Deutz while you dip int Köln Hbf, there is no chance to catch up with it in Frankfurt.
Did you manage to catch ICE 613 instead?
@RensBloom I mean, they both are nearly on time do should go first. Them’s the rules.
@partim ICE 613 had to wait in Duisburg on track 6, so we managed to catch it after a swift walk through the tunnel
@RensBloom And you are now twenty minutes late. This escalated fast.
@partim I am glad we are not immediately on a +120min travel option, but every delay can be increased
@RensBloom Can I join in on the fun and place bet on a +55 minute arrival of ICE 613 in Munich?
@partim the group lead accepted bets until 16:00, but we can start an extra round of bets online
In the meantime I see Mannheim - Schwetzingen
