Oct 9, 2026, 10:59 AMObligatory post at 301.2km/h on one of the best pieces of Deutsche Bahn infra and from one of the nicest trains, the ICE International to Brussels.
The transfer in FFM was on-time and uneventful.

Ordering and then slurping Earl Grey (hot) at these speeds feels quite civilised.

Even more obligatory Calatrava admiration post from Liège.
We passed Cologne on time and without issues which is unheard of in recent times.

Made it to Brussels on time and without issue. What the heck.
The only explanation is that I got double vaxxed yesterday and somehow that unlocks a train fairy.
Exiting Brussels Midi proved a bit of a challenge because of this, but it’s all fine now. https://www.brusselstimes.com/2353359/major-disruptions-throughout-brussels-as-thousands-take-to-the-streets

@misty it’s one of the older models, so it’s a bit run down from use, but perfectly serviceable. Sent from 296km/h while being served breakfast, so I have nothing to complain about ;D
