It’s so joyous
No stupid gates to get onto the platform
No silly announcements telling me to label my luggage or not try to open the doors at the wrong time, and just a beeping to tell me the doors are closing
Signs telling me what seats are reserved, so I can go find a nice window seat. And no compulsory reservation
Comfy seats
And it works properly with Interrail
@jon I've been catching up on "Jet Lag: The Game" in the last days and I'm impressed by the very different nature of the main challenge posed to the players in France vs in Germany:
Germany: Missing a crucial connection because of a 30 minute delay of the hourly train.
France: "No trains from here in the next 3 hours, and then the TGV onwards is fully booked. No apologies"
@semireg yes. That sums it up.
@jon To illustrate it perhaps even more poignantely:
While in France, the players sit around for hours in rural towns or even in Paris because there is no option for them to get away.
Whlie in Germany, they sit around in trains that should be moving but are held up somewhere on the line.

And yes, this being DB and as I’m going to Köln the chances of disruption are high
But the SYSTEM - in theory at least - is right
There goes a ICE to Berlin
But I’m not taking that. That’s boring
I have a little longer to wait for my more interesting option 🙂
Trainsplainers: yes I know that’s a ICE 1. I know those are good and comfortable trains.
But *today* I have my reasons for not taking it. That will become clear shortly 🙂
1549 reasons actually.
Step free 😂
