I love how everyone kept it together. No people shouting or having mental breakdowns. I’ve witnessed a couple of incidents were people went into full rage mode because the barista messed up their coffee… Yeah.
If I were a passenger, I’d be on a huge rollecoaster of laughter and pure anger.
If I were the train driver, I would’ve just burst laughing in the middle of that announcement since the whole thing can’t be blamed on me, and I’m still getting paid lol
Sadly – anyone regularly traveling with the German rail system will know that this is fairly par for the course.
We used to have such a great service. Now….I haven’t been on a train that arrived on time and without hiccups in 2 years. I ride about once or twice a week long distance for business.
Im sitting on a German train right now and all I can say it is really a mess. Nothing about German accuracy when it comes to their public transport system..
As someone who lives in the US there’s a candor about this that is …oddly refreshing? Like they laid out the problem and their assumption of what was going to have to happen in some detail, and also managed to convey they personally also found it bewildering and mortifying and absurd.
I feel like Stateside this might break down more along the lines of “Due to unforseen issues some of you may have to return to your point of departure, thank you for your patience” or something very vague like that.
I love the calmness of the train driver. then again, German culture isn’t one where full rage mode is a commonality. The ICE is a cool train though. ive gone on it once.
It’s arriving at 2pm approx but what time was it supposed to arrive?

Luckily, Bremen and Hamburg are not that far apart, so it‘ll add 90 minutes to the journey. Not ideal, but not the end of the world.
Extra Fahrvergnügen
Where is the fun part?xD
Traindriver. That hilarious.
ELI5?
What a shame! This could not happen in France…
No train ever has been misrouted. This isn’t possible when the driver is on strike.
Ah, die DB, pünktlich in Bremen mit nur 10Stunden Verspätung

Ok but as soon as he realized he was going the wrong way, did he speed up considerably?

As Swiss person, I wouldn’t expect German trains to be on time so this is fine.
This happened to me just yesterday. 75 min delay as a result.
It would still have definitely been on time in both destinations in the 1930’s! 😉
If this was a Skytrain in Vancouver Canada there would have been RIOTS!
Does he say “verbokt”? I have a good understanding of German but don’t know the slang.
Would that be “goat-ed” in English ?
Could be worse. Could be working for queensland rail…
> There been incident ahead
Passenger: vague much
