CW: train travel (+?)
This is the most "ICE 3" an ICE can get: BR403 :3
(Not a statement about quality … or my favourite ICE 3 variant, but it is perfectly fine.)From Nuremberg to … well … my ticket says Siegburg/Bonn, but i probably want to take the transfer in Frankfurt instead. (The next and last train on this journey is supposed to be BR408, and more time with it (especially on the high speed tracks) is always appreciated.)

guess what … another BR408!
This time even with the new interior :neofox_aww:Next change in Nuremberg:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1777564620?token=8000105-210Even got a decent seat. Not perfect … but can't expect that from a crowded train.

CW: train travel (++), overly excited
oh, BR408, my darling … i love getting railed by you again :dragnheart:
You gentle electric purring is a wonderful song in my ears and your new interior a pleasure for my eyes :neofox_aww:We departed punctual, on the minute. The next stop was even predicted to be reached ahead of time.
And a more then decent selection of free and comfy places is available in the quiet zone.
How delightful!Soon to travel on the high speed line :dragnwitch:
Sadly, i can only stay till KA (Aken Centraal) on this train's international journey :neofox_floof_sad:https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1775406780?token=8000105-185

On a BR408 to FF? Couldn't be mew :neofox_floof_cute:
(This trains makes such lovely electric noises when accelerating :blobcatmeltlove:)Sadly, it is a bit crowded. But that should clear up in KK. So i'm a bike until then :dragnwitch:
(The neat thing: other bikes are quiet, yay!) -

Yipp, disappointment from not going at least 290 km/h on the high speed tracks between KK and FFLF is real. But not as bad as it could be. Was still quite nice.
And today's speciality seems to be consistency:
Continuing onwards on another BR412. On the same platform, just crossing a few metres from ICE 101. Getting into carriage 2 again, and taking seat 138 … again. Also going the same direction from the station and the train not being too crowded :3So, onwards to Ulm with ICE 591:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1772868780?token=8000244-246Interestingly, we are leaving before the train that brought me here. So i got to see me previous carriage and seat passing by and could wave goodbye at the train :neofox_floof_happy:
(Which makes this a rather tight connection. But as long as it works, i'm happy not having to wait for long.) -

Oh, BR408 … i love getting railed by you :dragnheart:
Sadly, we'll part ways in Cologne already — i'll come for the high speed line again one day :neofox_floof_sad:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1770820680?token=8000001-59It doesn't start too bad: this train is kinda "on time"-ish. We'll see how that works out with tight connections in Cologne and Hannover.

ha! there you are!
ICE 10 tried to escape me.
the personnel in ICE 622 told everyone with Brussels as their destination to stay in Frankfurt, because a transfer wouldn't be possible.but now i'm on it — for a single station, roughly an half hour ride. yet nonetheless: i made it! the lobely ICE international, BR408! :dragnwitch:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1762800120?token=8000207-28Yes, it is a place on the floor. But it is a place on the floor in one of my favourite train models.
And there would've been plenty seats available … just nothing where i wouldn't have someone next to me. (and for half an hour or so … too low on spoons to bother)now i'll have taken all of the trains on my planned journey. just with the last transfer in KK instead of FF. (and one little stop of S-Bahn mixed in … but let's ignore that :3)
And still got to go ~300 km/h on the high-speed line — just with ICE 3 instead of ICE 10. :neofox_floof__w_: -

time to leave bavaria … in the quiet zone of ICE 622 (BR407).
only one more change in Frankfurt Central, if everything goes well >^.^<
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1762786620?token=8000284-137after roughly two hours of regional trains in bavaria, a few hours on the high speed line feel like a treat :neofox_floof__w_:
also got some pretzels in Nuremberg, which is always nice … if i've got the time — Nuremberg is also quite obnoxious with delays and missed connections ^^" -
CW: train travel (+), selfie (eye contact)
it happens again: BR408 to FF!
or in other words: train go bzzzzz :dragnwitch:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1762072740?token=8000001-140using more general words: taking an ICE3 neo to Frankfurt Central, which can reach 300 km/h between Cologne and Frankfurt … and makes very satisfying electric noises while accelerating :neofox_floof_cute:
Tickets just got checked and i asked for getting mine stamped … now this is a very happy kittyfox with some blue marks on their ticket :3

CW: train travel (±/+?), "sports", stress
on my way to Magdeburg, starting with an ICE 3neo to KK:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1760103540?token=8000001-61I was quite worries about the departure time, so decided to run. Hands are still trembling and my face is covered in sweat — after wiping it down already.
Not a minute of pain was wasted, though: got into the train 5 seconds before the doors closed and locked ^^"Oh, and: the connection i'm taking now couldn't be booked anymore, because apparently it is too crowded already — the train i'm sitting in right now in particular. But i have to say … it is not that bad. Already have been in way more crowded ICEs which were listed as "medium".
Only sitting in this train right now, thanks to the magic of "buying a flex ticket for the next (similar) connection, about 30 minutes before your train departs. :dragnwitch: -
CW: train travel (±), event: mrmcd
on the way to the MRMCD :dragnwitch:
taking up a bike space on the floor on a crowded ICE 315 (ICE 3neo, yay!) to Frankfurt Central :3
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1757590740?token=8000001-18we'll see how to get to Darmstadt from there …

Barely caught this ICE 4, travelling today as ICE 1053 …
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1755866700?token=8000001-335
Hope this journey goes smoothly and we arrive on time in Hannover Central.At least the train is still not too crowded (which will likely change in Cologne) and quiet :3

CW: train travel (+?), travelynx, food (vegan; +)
Hello, dear ICE 3, travelling as ICE 1128 today.
Caught you! >^.^<
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1747843020Now onwards to FF. Making the transfer there might be a challenge, but might be doable within the estimated 7 minutes, as I should be in the part closer to the pathways on both trains ^^
Also: managed to obtain and (just in time) nom a pretzel with hummus and some veggies — Nuremberg station does have decent options for vegan food :neofox_nom_bread:

it has been too long … we're going south again :3
And hello, ICE 3neo, my (no so) old friend :dragnwitch:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1747136640Oooh, we are going the other direction!
And it takes longer than planned.
Riiight … the direct route to cologne is broken ^^" -
CW: train travel, travelynx, selfie (eye contact)
Aaand on it goes. ICE 650 is on time … but overcrowded.
So for now, I'm a bike, choo choo :3
(Not wearing cat ears right now :neocat_floof_sad:, because headphone will be put pn soon.)Next transfer should be in Cologne [KK].

hello ICE3neo, my friend :3
Quite crowded, but still a lot of free place to sit (on the floor) in the (empty) bike section :dragnwitch:Just from KA to KK this time:
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1743860340?token=8000001-206But we are already ~10min late and border controls are annoying :neofox_floof_sad:
-
CW: train travel (±/+), travelynx
yess, that worked out as I thought :3
Definitely wouldn't have caught the 102 in FFLF (departed alrrady and the 1222 hasn't even arrived yet), while I'm sitting in a comfy warm seat with great view in the 810 (ICE 3neo, my dearest) … 10min before scheduled departure!
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1738870260
( Next change in KK or KKDZ, we'll see. ) -

… and onwards to NN (Nüremberg) with ICE 721 (my part of the train is a BR406).
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1738161300So far, connections are looking good (:
Have a photo of me at FFLF this time, instead of in a train.
(We had the latter already ;P) -
CW: train travel (+), travelynx, selfie (eye contact)
choo choo! :3
Oh BR408, my love … I'm getting railed with you again :dragnheart:
For now it is ICE 315 from KA (Aachen) to FFLF (Frankfurt Airport), then onwards with the next ICE.
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1738154340Just a few minutes of delay so far … but we'll see :dragnwitch:
-
CW: train travel (±)
and on it goes:
With ICE844(/ICE854) from HH (19:34) to EDG (21:49). In a not too crowded quiet zone :3
https://bahn.expert/details/ICE%20854/?journeyId=20250110-0da56fd5-236f-31eb-b654-fe10a8ffe44fFrom there, hopefully, onwards with RB33 to KA … wel'll see.
At least I get to claim "Fahrgastrechte" once again >^.^< -
CW: train travel (+), travelynx, a bit of luxury
choo choo! :3
In the comfy first class quiet area in the tail of an ICE4. From Aachen to Hannover, and onwards from there …
https://travelynx.de/status/nya/1735998480The tickets were booked months ago and so this kittyfox gets to enjoy a bit of train travel luxury :neofox_floof__w_:
-
CW: train travel (±), travelynx
so far, no need to gamble:
ICE 524 arrived already and I got a good seat (one in the front row of "the nose" of the BR403 / ICE 3) :3Well … we still have to wait for a train from Munich, but should arrive earlier in Cologne either way. (And be more than an hour late in Aachen ^^")
