    Rolling Stock Virgin Trains - Question

    Thank you Kite159 for your quick response. As I seem to be too stupid for RTT (via mobile and onboard a train with lousy connection), any information you can provide on the 0652 southwards from Edinburgh this Friday?

    ICE caught fire on German High Speed Line

    My advice is to remain on your planned route but you will definitely be approx. two hours later in Nuremberg. It might be that your Brussels - Frankfurt ICE runs all the way to Frankfurt (diverted between Cologne and Frankfurt) and you can change to a train to Nuremberg in Frankfurt (minimum...

    ICE caught fire on German High Speed Line

    I was surprised how fast the cause was clear. But if they communicate it so quickly, it seems to be very obvious and clear. Always good if no long unclear search is needed.

    ICE caught fire on German High Speed Line

    Seems evident he was involved. But everyone else could have helped in the same way. Need not be a policeman. Anyway, good he was on-board and reacted in the way he did.

    Hello friends, Chris here from Germany, working for Deutsche Bahn. Having watched and seen multiple videos and photos of the incident and knowing about safety procedures, I am pretty sure that passengers did not evacuate via the windows but using the doors. The windows seem to have been...

    FIP in Germany

    Hello colleagues, hello all of you. Considering the last point "Sparpreis Ticket 50% plus FIP": definitely no! There might always be a friendly conductor that allows you to go on that, but officially it is not valid in this way. As mentioned before, the FIP entitles for a 50% discount on...
