We are sitting on an ICE train in seats we have a reservation for! Going in the right direction and only a bit more than half an hour late!
@SemAntiKast Not a trend, it's just @feorag and my 33rd anniversary holiday together!
@Charlie Stross can't be in germany ...
@jabgoe2089 Not to worry, we just diverted off the main line onto a local commuter line (to avoid whatever DB wackiness is causing half the ICE trains from Berlin to Nuremberg to be cancelled today). Now trundling past freight sidings …
Is this a private trip or do you have a public event in Germany? Would totally travel there.
@FlorianTischner vacation. Was at the Eurocon last weekend.
@cstross wow, today must be your lucky day!
Look ma, no driver!
This is one of those new full self driving trains.
@cstross As an American, this post reads very ominously.
