Good Morning from Gare de l'Est, where #SNCF is taking me some of the way to #39c3 , hopefully (I'm glad my connection in Frankfurt was 35 mins initially...)
Hazy sunrise over the fields of Champagne on the way to #39c3. The train is quite empty so hopefully the border bullshit in Kehl doesn't delay us too much further. For now, including the expected border delay, SNCF still believes that this #TGV9561 will be in Karlsruhe/Mannheim/Frankfurt before the #ICE74 to Hamburg.
@Nicolas Dandrimont i mean, ICE74 will be delayed by the standard DB delay, so you will be fine, right?
(and every time I write something like this I think it goes against nature: Italian trains are late, German trains are supposed to work almost as well as Swiss train!)
In Strasbourg with the expected 20-minute delay. Gotta love SNCF scheduling its trains with zero slack with respect to max speed. Next known unknown is border controls... #ICE74 arrived in Freiburg on time
Yesterday, border control have kept us ~15min in Kehl (TGV 9583 from Marseille to Frankfurt). We were already late before. And after the check it was a 30m delay. The train succeeded to finishing on Frankfurt with 18m delay, so there may be margin on the German side
@lpoujol I bought my ticket with DB all the way through so I'm sure I'll get to Hamburg eventually (and delays are one of the reasons I booked such an early train)
DB just sent me a mail telling me that I will have 2 minutes for my train change in Frankfurt, so I'll just change in Karlsruhe or Mannheim as both trains will follow one another on the same platform there. Hopefully in the right order!
That station (Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe) is pretty special. It was planned with long ramps so that Taxis could drive to the platforms (wtf). Different time. (But not even that long ago.)
Now that's an eventful #ICE74. First the chess club is looking for adversaries, then the hot drinks machine is out of service, then the conductor calls for a medic on board, the train speeds up, and now we've dropped off a passenger to an ambulance waiting for the train *on the platform* in Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe 😯
Train departed 5 mins late from that stop, expected on time on arrival in Hamburg.
Oh chouette \o Je suis dans la zone de Milliways pour le moment.
Je sèche le meeting angel générique (mais j'ai fait celui sur le contrôle d'accès & évac juste avant) et plus tard j'irais au meeting de démarrage de l'équipe de trad \o
ahhhh mais je crois que je t'ai croisé sur le quais (je courrais, pull rose, vers l'agent pour demander si notre correspondance à frankfurt sera assurée ... on risque de devoir orendre le prochain train, et donc 3h sans place assise...) bonne fin de trajet, et à + au 39c3 !
@mathieui @Nicolas Dandrimont I do wonder what they are doing border control for on expensive trains, when they don't really bother with doing border controls for cars, even when Switzerland is involved
(and at least between Italy and Switzerland they aren't really doing border controls on the cheap-ish local trains either)
@valhalla @mathieui good question, we'll see. On the way back, the cross-border train is my last leg though! Only thing I'll be late for is new year's eve raclette at home 🧀🧀🧀
@Nicolas Dandrimont @mathieui being late for a raclette doesn't sound like a good thing either, but surely beats “being stranded in a station in a foreign country, *and* very late for a raclette” :D
