3/n Train manager: "In a few minutes we will arrive in Arnhem. Special announcement to all the pickpockets in my train: please get off my train here, without anything extra."
8/n One man making a conference call, two other men yapping at each other, guy next to me on his fourth phone call. Sad to report that silence is too much to ask of a 1st class quiet zone.
1/n I’m on a long train trip again! I’m almost out of data, and have a ton of work to do, but will try to share interesting updates if they arise.
Before the internet starts mansplaining trains again:
- yes, I’m aware of the existence of quiet cars,
- yes, I book my seats in advance, and in those quiet cars if available,
- yes, I know that I can book 1st class tickets and do so depending on availability and other factors.
In fact, I’ve been on my train for only 30 minutes and am already regretting paying an extra 20 € for first class. One of the passengers here is exceptionally disgusting, he’s sitting opposite of me, and it’s busy enough that I cannot really move.
7/n My next connecting will be in about 2 hours. Just noticed that my connecting train is delayed by 15 minutes. I only have 12 minutes for the connection after that. Will I get Deutsche-Bahned? Place your bets now.

5/n The guy next to me just told the phone-calling guy behind me to respect the quiet zone. I think we have an early contender for the award of Ideal Fellow Traveller today!

4/n Of course the couple in front of me and the man behind me are yapping to each other and their phone. Consequently, I've now had Stuck In The Middle With You stuck in my head for the last 30 minutes or so.

2/n cold wind at Utrecht central station, but I have oat milk coffee from AH to go, so all is good.
