<![CDATA[Grüezi and Moin from Zurich!]]>Grüezi and Moin from Zurich! Another international 🇨🇭🇩🇪 rail trip awaits (or rather, awaited — I'm always a late). We'll see what this thread will be about exactly, as there is less rail travel involved in the programme. One thing is certain though: I will be talking about the German legs that I normally skip reporting on. starts with the ICE 200 from Zurich to Hamburg. It's a comfortably uneventful trip with a maximum delay of six minutes.

The one that goes all the way to Aumühle is now called S7.

After changing at Hamburg-Dammtor, we enjoy an uneventful ride on an ICE to Göttingen, where we call it a day. Oh, it is my first time travelling on an ICE train stopping at Hannover Messe/Laatzen.

After a short sprint, we board the cosy, quiet additional Friday afternoon train to Hamburg-Altona. I am very grateful for this, as with the proposed new connection between Niebüll and Hamburg about 30 minutes later, we would have missed our ICE in Hamburg due to a delay.

I have fixed the error. I guess it is a car that isn't used for the RDC night trains at the moment.

However, it makes sense on the island of Amrum, where there is only one line. But let's talk about tickets: Combined rail-ferry tickets automatically include a free bus ride to your destination. However, round ferry tickets for foot passengers without a combined ticket (like me, travelling with Interrail) do not include a bus ride.

However, the walk between the train platform and the pier is very convenient. This direct ferry service to Amrum, which avoids Föhr, is fully booked for cars, but there is enough space for foot passengers.

What an effort for a twenty-minute shuttle service involving a lot of reversing! I guess this is not a regular procedure.

This twenty-minute shuttle service connects to the Föhr and Amrum ferries. Almost no one gets off at the intermediate stops of Deezbüll and Maasbüll.

This means changing trains at Niebüll for us. Some connecting NEG trains from Niebüll to Dagebüll Mole will start at Niebüll DB station instead of Niebüll NEG. This involves a time-consuming shunting procedure with reversing in order to provide connections at the same platform. However, this is only theoretical for me due to our delay and missed connection.

The compartment merits the terms 'salon' or 'saloon' or 'lounge'. There is an echo of the comfortable familiarity of a drawing-room.

With modern designs, they may be efficient and 'clean' but they are a travel space. They are not like 'home'

This is one of the last times that two DB 218 Class engines will pull an IC 1 train from Itzehoe to Westerland. Some trainspotters are waiting for the delayed train along its route over the Nord-Ostsee Canal towards Sylt. ICE L trains have already started operating on this line. The last IC 1 trains will run on 30 April/1 May from/to Westerland if I am not mistaken. 😥
