       Meanwhile there’s a group of passengers in this train speaking German, but one of them is French speaking German with a heavy French accent.This still messes with my head after all these years. English-German mix: fine. English-French mix: fine. German-French mix: I’m always confused!

       #Deutschlandticket messes up DB’s data processingI have a ICE ticket Berlin-Leipzig, and will use Deutschlandticket for the RB 13 Leipzig-HofMy ICE to Leipzig is delayed, I might miss the connection onto the RB 13 - but due to the split ticket the train manager didn’t even know there was anyone on board with that connection…

       Normally I’m a fan of Stadler RS1 trains, but today’s has an uncomfortable high pitch whine from something on board. Noise cancelling earphones get rid of the worst of it, but if I didn’t have those this would be grim for more than 2 hours.

       And yes, tilting trains are like Marmite. You either love them or you hate them.And apart from SBB ICN and SJ X2000 that are good (more because they’re nice on board than anything to do with the tilt) I can happily give all the rest a miss.

       What?Ad at Hof Hbf1&1 is offering a 50MBit/sec fibre packageWhy even bother with fibre for that limited speed? And €30/month isn’t even very cheap. 1000MBit is €60/month which also isn’t great

       @jon is that normal to capitalize B when talking about bits, it feels purposefully misleading, capitalized B in data units is always meant to stand for byte not bit

       And really, DB Regio Bayern, this RE 2 Hof - München is crap Given DB has only just won this back from Alex (Netinera group), you’d think they’d try to make a positive impression But no No power sockets. No WiFi. A 1970s diesel locomotive (class 218). Older double deck carriages with hard seats*For more than 3 hours if you go the whole way*

       The irony of Bayern not electrifying is Hof and Marktredwitz seems to have a very high number of ex-DDR, built in Luhansk (today’s Ukraine) Ludmilla hulking diesel locomotives

       I love places like this. Moments like this. Imagining what the Czech women with badly dyed hair over there are talking about. Wondering what they’ve seen in their lives in this corner of Czechia, bordered on one side by Bayern and the other by Sachsen.

       @jon wait there's hranice v cechach? so that's why they call the other hranice na morave even though it's just hranice technically?

       Massive DB f*** up hereArrive Werdau. Train to Leipzig and Halle first delayed, supposedly due to a late arrival of a previous train. Then it disappears from screens. Then DB Navigator tells us it’s a bus. There’s no bus. No coherent announcements. No staff. No clarityHell knows when I’m getting to Berlin

       And yes I know DB is under funded. Yes I know that planning on the fly is hard. But at least could the dozen passengers stuck here on a desolate Werdau street awaiting a bus - maybe? - perhaps get some information?

       👏 Deutsche BahnDespite me being on the first Zwickau - Werdau - Gößnitz rail replacement bus around the closed track section… we’re now to wait 30 mins before the train departs. FFS.

       As a result of this massive cock up, and no effort by DB to then coordinate trains and SEV buses in Gößnitz I’m going to have to spend 80 mins at Leipzig Hbf and eventually get to Südkreuz at 00:54. Total delay: 2 hours 30 mins at least.

       Also having been sat on this train at Gößnitz station for c. 20 mins now, and it having a driver and, as it’s 6 carriages, I presume a train manager somewhere, has either of them thought to make an announcement to explain what’s going on? No. Not at all. Nothing.Again this isn’t a budget question. It’s basic courtesy. And DB S-Bahn Mitteldeutschland doesn’t give a shit.

       Ah. And now this train has to wait 40 mins for the next replacement bus to arrive. When the previous train did *not* wait for the bus I was on.I went and found the train driver, asking why we have had no information until now. “I have no information either” was the honest if rather unhelpful response!So maybe it was a good job I am meant to have 80 mins in Leipzig. That’s going to be down to 40 or less…

       There’s also a problem aheadI am using #Deutschlandticket Adorf - Werdau - Leipzig, and a Sparpreis for the ICE to Berlin. But that ICE is long gone…Strictly I’ve got no rights to take a later ICE, as I’ve got separate tickets. So I’ll explain to the train manager what happened, and hope. 90% chance I’ll be ok and not get fined

       @jon You mean it's not eligible as a "PRR" ticket as it was not a full journey?

       @matoo I don’t follow your point. My Sparpreis says only Leipzig - Berlin and not Adorf - Berlin…

       Ok. Found the Zugchef. Typical DB: explain the situation and they’re ok with it. Like almost all DB staff on ICEs he was understanding. So no fine. Phew. And as I explained it all, I likely saved some other passengers in the same situation as me some hassle.

       An important point re. DB: a train manager here *still* has the power to judge your case on its merits.Strictly speaking the train manager could have demanded I buy a new ticket here - I did not have the rules on my side. But that I’m on the wrong train is as a result of a problem DB InfraGo caused. So I have a moral case, and that was enough.
