Crossed into Germany a moment ago spot on time - well done OBB, you did your bit. Checked the DB app to find - shock, horror - a delay is expected.

It could be worse. At least I’m not on the NightJet to Vienna that’s three and a half hours late…

Away from Passau 20 mins late. Curiously, there was a full passport / ID check by the police during the interlude.

Arrived into Frankfurt Hbf 20 mins late on ICE 228 (pic one) turning my 52 minute connection onto ICE 14 (pics two and three) into a 20 minute change. Plenty of time. Onwards to Brussels…

A late lunch on ICE 14. Pleased to see DB still serves food on a proper plate and uses glasses - I was worried that had been dropped after the last couple of @diningcar.at encounters.

I am truly staggered to report that ICE 14 arrived into Brussels on time. First time ever that I haven’t had to sprint to the international terminal or ask to be rebooked onto a later train. Have bought waffles & Belgian beer from the supermarket to celebrate this amazing occasion.
