Hope you don't mind me interrupting a bit [USER=26437]@OZDUCK[/USER] but I'd like to query you on Deutsche Bahn. I'll probably be in Germany and Austria in December this year, including doing a few Christmas markets. Planning on training, but your TR has me concerned.
What's your gut feel on the state of the train system in Germany? You caught them at an unlucky time when a bunch of issues coincided? The system is irretrievably stuffed for the foreseeable future? There were problems but you saw fixes under way?
I'll be mainly doing some longer journeys such as Cologne-Strasbourg, Strasbourg-Munch, Munich-Salzburg.
