   Currently Not Very Impressed with Deutsche Bahn and DSB both. I don't think I've seen more than a few ICE trains leave on time at any of the stations I've seen this past week.

   And now the train across the border into Denmark also is having a lot of trouble.

   I guess this is what a few decades of deferred infrastructure maintenance looks like when you apply the slightest pressure to the system.

     OK we're now going to be even later than expected (which was already late), but at least they seem to have switched modes from 'yeah sorry but that sounds like a you problem' to 'we'll sort it out so you have a realistic chance to reach your destination' which is Good(tm).

     Ok so the sorting out things was maybe not ideal - the replacement train service that was waiting for us was one (1) DSB car which was entirely inadequate, and one (1) replacement bus which is now full.

     I've heard rumours more buses are coming, which, if so, great.

     No more buses. Just taxis shuttling people from Flensburg to Padborg to take uh the next train that was also going through Flensburg? This is nuts.

     With luck they hold the train in Fredericia sonwe dont have to wait there for 2 hours but at this point I'm fairly sure they won't.

     @souvlaki Honestly seems like this was mostly on Deutsche Bahn, but yeah DSB also isn't impressing.

     @souvlaki I think the weirdest thing for me right now is why oh why they don't have a train from Fredericia towards Copenhagen that matches the last frain from Flensburg.

     Like.

     They go every half hour up until 2353, then the train from Flensburg arrives at around 0015 and then there's just... No train at 0023.

     Instead, you have to wait for almost _two hours_ to go on towards Copenhagen! It's madness! Why?!?!
