>>1994882only map that matters to me right now. Frankfurt - Kassel is currently faster with the RE than the ICE right now, with the latter getting rerouted via Aschaffenburg - Gemünden.
while I enjoyed seeing other parts of the country, ICE taking up to 2 hours longer between Frankfurt and Berlin or Hamburg really is a slog after a while. yesterday our train was overtaken by the fucking Flixtrain because our train was 20 minutes ahead of schedule. checking the timetable the Flixtrain is now faster than the ICE lol.
