Train from Hamburg to Hannover got in 8 minutes late on an already tight connection but, after legging it I made to train to Köln with a minute to spare. Paid €5.50 for a seat reservation so I can now work for 3+ hours. And breathe…
Train 10 minutes late into Köln but no sweat because I have a half hour buffer for the connection to Brussels. Meanwhile, quick walk around the Dom. The person in the panda suit must be sweating cobs!
All seats booked and it’s standing only in all carriages so I’ll buy a coffee and sit in the on-board cafe. Saves about €1.50 on last-minute seat reservation.
Left Hamburg at 8am. Arriving into London at 7pm. Still got another three hour train journey, but not until 8pm so everything so far has been worked to plan.
