Die Bahn spielt schon wieder mit meinen Gefühlen. Ich weiß, dass das nicht wahr ist 😭

Wholesome DB Moments: Vor mir im 4er sitzen zwei junge Männer (ca 16/17 schätzungsweise), auf den Knien zwischen sich ein Tablet balanciert, auf dem ein Film läuft, und essen selbstgebackene Plätzchen aus einer runden, schneelandschaftbemalten Plätzchendose.

#1 - Backpack
SquareEnix, this is a threat: Give us this backpack as a glam, please! Or I'll be reduced to drastic measures...

I'm bitter and if there's one thing uniting us in this country it's our shared hatred for our public transit lol
(I wish I could add a "there have been mix ups or uncertainties that caused me emotional stress but in the end it usually worked out alright" but I ran out of options)
Reblogs are encouraged and appreciated!

I do love travelling by train, I really do, but the German train system is currently a clusterfuck. I have yet to take a train today that’s actually punctual <_<
And I’m already travelling since 8am. Actually I had to take a train about half an hour early to get to my other trains who all only go once every hour.
And the first one, that that I would have missed, was SO packed with people for 90% of the time (I was travelling for 4,5h from end station to end station) that it felt as if we were travelling in a sardine cab and not a train. And I was one of the lucky ones to actually have a seat!
The current train is actually alright - and there’s a lot more space and less people - but we already started 5mins late from the station (again first stop/end station of the whole drive). Though I will still get my next train afaik. I still have at least 15 minutes to change train even though we’re late.
Still. I love taking the train. But I hate how bad our train system has gotten.

Shout out to the German train system for ending my lucky streak of no late trains while travelling through Europe with literally the last train home.
You never fail to disappoint.
So good to be back 😌❤️

Ah yeah great experience getting home from my parents today., Usually would take 5 hours and one switch of trains, took nine hours and 5 changes. Partly it was their fault and partly.... I guess my body's fault. So I was planning to go to a concert today in Osnabrück. Kinda half way between Berlin and Duisburg. Great, it's of course longer, but fits well. Booked a train from Berlin to there. Was planning to stay at a hotel with a friend and take regional trains, which I already have a month pass for tomorrow. Would take a while but sure, no issues, I would leave whenever.
Well I got sick. Like not super bad, I think I will see a doctor tomorrow, too much to go to the concert. But I have the ticket. It's a physical ticket. So either it goes to wasate or I go to Osnabrüclk, which is now with wanting to go home a detour. But whatever not a big thing. At 8:54 I get into the S-Bahn to the trainstation to take the IC, I get on. We start to move, we move slow. We arrive Berlin main station. We are standing. We are told the train is broken, we need to leave. Next option, a train to Hannover. Well I would have needed to take a train going through Hannover anyway, it's half an hour later, I get on the train and figure, I will figure something out in Hannover.
I arrive in Hannover. The train was almost on time. Like maybe 3 minutes late. Which ist absolutely on time for Deutsche Bahn. I get off, I check my App. It's 45 minutes for the next train to Osnabrück. I briefely consider going straight home but it's just a bit of a detour, it will be fine, I wanna get the ticket sold and I wanna see my friend at least for a moment.
It's a regional train, slow, stops at every small town, no room for my huge suitcase, I hold it between my legs. I have downloaded a tatort episode with my mobile data, transferred it to my Laptp which I'm now balancing on top of my suitcase.
I would have 8 minutes to hug my friend, give her the ticket and get from platform 4 to platform 12, already not really optimistic. Trains there home leave once an hour. My train arrives 3 minutes after my connecting train leaves. We go to McDonalds. I'm still sick and have not slept well at my paren't house and christmas is fucking exhausting. I get tea. It's 2,69, surprisingly cheap. I'm downloading another tatort episode. I have now downloaded over 1,5GB today, it's fine, the month is almost over.
The next train is on time. weird thing to happen but I take it. I find a place to sit and put my suitcase under the seat, it sticks out. A huge family with a lot of childrern find the seats next to me to sit. They're loud, they run around. I'm still sick. I finisch my Tatort episode. I get inspired and write 700 words of a fic. I'm pressed into the corner, because the children are jumping around. I'm tired, I arrive in Essen, last time changing trains, my connecting train is late, I take an S-Bahn, it takes a little longer, it's only 5 minutes late. I gat off the train at 6pm.
I'm home now. My friend sold my Ticket, I will gop see my docotor tomorrow, hopefully.

On the train. It’s on time and very cozy, people in Ruhebereich are actually quiet. The restrooms are not out of order but spotlessly clean. The coffee maker in the Bordbistro is not working but there’s mulled wine and gingerbread instead. I hope it’s not a dream and I somehow sleep through my stop.

Deutsche Bahn really isn’t the most reliable huh
Stuck somewhere near Sollingen after already having had a previous train cancelled. As long as this fucker gets us to Basel will I be happy… but so far my experience with DB…???

Guess who's stuck at the Bahnhof for the next *hour* bc DB can't get their shit together and guess who didn't pack anything to eat bc they thought they'd be home by Abendbrotzeit and also guess who is getting hungry now!!!

being one of several siblings is constantly being in lowgrade competition about not being the one who's doing the worst in life currently. I'd say beginning of the year I was pretty solidly in second place, and we're slipping down that rung, but that's because my employment is so dependent on the stars and the gods and my mental health aligning at the exact right time. I think I provide a much-needed whimsical insecurity to our prospects as a family, one moment I'm the only one of the kids with a degree, the next I can't access most of my funds due to moving to another country and brexit, and then, wow, a whole grant for six months, and now, guess what... solidly burnt out for another six. what will I think of next? tune in next week, it may be an experimental bottle episode just consisting of me reviewing doctor who episodes in an oversized hoodie, it may be an offer to direct a documentary short. life.
