I’m sitting in an ICE in Munich that was supposed to leave a few minutes before I saw this story on HN. First the conductor announced a 30 minute delay because the radio wasn’t working, and then they bumped it to 2 hours. They didn’t say it was a systemwide problem.

Had a very similar experience in Munich years ago. That time it was because a train engine on fire on the tracks leading out of the station...

I would get out and look for a hotel before all of them get sold out. Probably tomorrow too.

Luckily: Update from announcer is that trains can start again at 12:25 AM and they reduced our delay by 30 minutes. But there’s still a huge line of riders at the DB service desk.
