The Daniel law of travelling on an ICE (order currywurst und pommes frites mit bier) has been enacted. Oddly, there’s just a single member of staff in the @diningcar.at.

Here we go. Sat at Köln Hbf awaiting a train that is 40+ mins late. Everything else is 100+ mins late. Looks like I’m missing a connection later on. Sigh.

Thanks to the various DB delays it was dark by the time I arrived into Konstanz last night. Nonetheless, the walk to the railway station this morning provided a great view of the lake.

(My phone contract doesn’t allow free roaming in Switzerland, however I’ve just crossed into Austria. I’m aboard the wonderfully-named EuroCity Transalpin service, having made an easy 15min connection in Zurich.)

EuroCity Transalpin at Innsbruck. A stunning route that was bathed in sunshine: well worth the early start! Have a couple of hours in Innsbruck for a wander and lunch…

Lucky you, the ES/ICE connection in either direction is crucial (and ICE is the weak part). 🤞🏻
Experienced ICE from Frankfurt terminating in Cologne several times. 🙄

Yes, I have been impacted by DB being DB on this corridor several times. I’m not looking forward to next week’s return.
