being openly queer in public is fun

despite the weirdos

Oh look! It arrived! 😍

Okay so quick recap of all the shit that went down with my travel since Sunday

I was about to take the direct Berlin - Paris ICE (9590) that should arrive in Paris at 19:55 and then switch to a TGV to Rennes at 21:15

But ICE started already delayed, leaving Berlin 20 minutes behind schedule already

Then there was another delay

And an unscheduled stop in Darmstadt to couple another ICE 3 (407) for some reason (it was closed and empty). This stop also took longer than originally expected

Delay got so big that the change was no longer possible, even when running through the Paris metro and getting perfectly timed trains, it takes ~30 minutes to go from Gare de l'Est to Gare Montparnasse. Actual arrival time was 21:40-something anyway

I had to annoy the train manager a few times to let him know that I will be stuck in Paris. Seemed really annoyed but lol whatever. Ultimately he said he'd call SNCF and make an announcement when he knows more. I had my doubts but he actually did like 20 minutes before arrival in Paris, asking passengers with changes to check their email/SMS

And yeah I actually got two emails from SNCF, one saying I am entitled to free accommodation for the night and can pick one of the suggested hotels, other saying that my ticket to Rennes has been rebooked for 6:20am next day

Awesome. I already had fallback to someone ready to give me a couch to sleep on but hotel was much more convenient

In the meantime i write to Interrail support to let them know about all the shit that happened

Got into a free SNCF-sponsored hotel, had a good night, grabbed some food in the morning and went to Gare Montparnasse completely ignoring the 6am rescheduled train.

Went to the ticket office and asked about a new ticket for my train because of a missed connection. SNCF lady seemed a little confused that an ICE from Berlin to Paris even is a thing but looked up some stuff and gave me a new ticket for 11am, no problems with that

And with that train, I finally made it home

And in addition to that, Interrail gave me an extra day on the pass

It was a lot, quite stressful, really anxiety-inducing and messy but ultimately everything worked well and I didn't end up in some horrible situation <3

Looking at Zugfinder, this ICE is usually more-or-less punctual with a delay no longer than 30 minutes (which would still be fine for my connection) but sometimes it just explodes like this and it being the only pair of trains a day… yeah

I think I'll avoid it if possible and next time I'll go with a NightJet to be honest

Firefox, I will tell you right now, as a blind person:

Please do not hold accessibility support behind a progressive rollout. You are locking certain people from using it based on effective RNG, and I don't approve.

If you release accessibility support, that's awesome - but please release it for everyone. Please. I beg of you.
