I was taking the ICE from Berlin to Frankfurt and it broke down halfway, and they basically just left you there at the station to deal. I didn’t speak much, if any German, and I was alone tasked with figuring out how the heck to make it the rest of the 3 hour journey. To top it off, the next train we tried to get on wasn’t able to leave because another train had been cancelled, so everyone tried to hop on that one, and at triple capacity it wasn’t safe to depart. I ended up sitting on the floor of the train going 200km/h for two hours, plus the 45 minute transfer, trying to get to the airport. It was a shit show. I don’t trust German trains much anymore
