Couldn’t live toot from the panel. Civilised spat with Michael Peterson (DB) - he’s at a human level a good guy, just DB on ticketing is strategically tricky. And there’s more chance DB will sell European Sleeper tickets than DB ever playing nice with Omio and Trainline. #ConnectingEuropeDays
@jon somehow this has left me the most dumbfounded of any of your toots about the event so far. He works for DB, and DB runs an ICE directly to his destination, and yet he ends up flying. This is like the ultimate best-case scenario for a cross-border business trip, and he still takes the plane.
And I know the ICEs into Belgium are unreliable, but /that's his own company/. If he's not taking his own trains because he doesn't trust them, a lot more introspection is needed...
@casblaauw@jon It’s even worse. He is the director of DB Fernverkehr. He is directly responsible for this service and its rapidly declining quality since 2019.
(But I am delighted that he is delayed because he was flying.)
