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…
Just to update this thread from yesterday: I’m rather ashamed to say I’d never travelled on an OBB RailJet before, but I put that right by taking RJX 175 to Budapest, which arrived 30mins late. RailJets have a spacious interior but the seat in standard was a bit too hard and upright for my liking.
When I arrived into Budapest, I noticed the sleeper train for Kiev. Quite a strange feeling knowing I’m - theoretically - a train away from a war zone.
It puts my little jolly jaunt around Europe into perspective - and shows how important railways are for connecting folks.
