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).

Verspätung

I 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.

Alstoms TGV-M hat seine Zulassung bekommen und nun ist auch bekannt, wann die ersten Fahrten mit Fahrgästen stattfinden werden: im September.

Zugelassen: Frankreichs neuer TGV-M im Fahrgastbetrieb ab September

Der TGV-M hat von der europäischen Eisenbahnagentur ERA seine Zulassung bekommen. Damit ist ein wichtiger Schritt für den Einsatz im Fahrgastbetrieb geschaffen worden. Perspektivisch wird der von Alstom gefertigte Zug auch für London wichtig.

All in all, the hierarchy of transport modes in NL seems to be: bicycles > cars > public transport* > pedestrians. Other example: pedestrians need to press the beg button to get a green light.

So it seems that the development of cycling infrastructure wasn't done at the expense of car infrastructure. Curious what @notjustbikes thinks!

*You may argue between cars & public transport (e.g. Utrecht has dedicated bus lanes). But density of highways seems higher than density of railways.

Wir hatten eine "kleine Politzeieinsatz" sagt man.
Show threadRens6d ago

Announcement: 15 minutes delay
Actual arrival in Erfurt: 18 minutes delay
Actual departure from Erfurt: 28 minutes delay.

Typical   but we will go without planned stops to Frankfurt Hbf.

ICE1 from Erfurt Hbf to Frankfurt Hbf, that's a good deal. It's approximately 20 minutes late, but that shouldn't be a problem (he said hesitatingly).

Oh, they now say that ICE 124 will start today in Frankfurt Main Hbf instead of Frankfurt Airport as planned originally. Then I don't think there will be any issues for our travel plans today.
