Not #CrossBorderRail today. Or at least not in the normal way
I’m off to TU Braunschweig first, working with @ehrba ‘s students
Then later I’m going to Gedenkstätte Marienborn - the transit point for those travelling to West Berlin from West Germany
First up: a replacement train ICE 2917 Berlin Südkreuz - Braunschweig Hbf
-
I’m in the quiet zone in the ICE and someone is typing on a phone with the keyboard bip-bip-bip noise on
Not only is this irritating for others, but does it serve any purpose? Does it really assist any sort of user? The short sighted maybe, somehow?
Or is it a sort of skeumorphic thing, that keyboards of the past made noise, so still must?
-
Now someone started a zoom call, super loudly. In English. So she got deutsched by me *immediately* and told to shut up.
-
Now had to shut up a second one making calls. What part of “Ruhebereich" do you not understand? (this one was speaking German - so can well understand Ruhebereich)
-
Nice but rather impractical bike racks at TU Braunschweig. So yes, I parked at 90° to the plan
-
And today I am at TU Braunschweig as @ehrba 's students have been researching #CrossBorderRail lines, and they're presenting what they have found. I am looking forward to hearing a lot more about the technical problems at each border - the sort of knowledge I am usually missing or at least cannot easily obtain
-
The five lines we're examining today:
Görlitz - Zgorzelec
Horka Gbf - Wegliniec
Simbach - Braunau
Kehl - Krimmeri-Meinau
Gronau - Glanerbrug -
Now heading back east. First the RB40 to Helmstedt. There’s a tandem on board, but I thought tandems were not allowed? Or does that depend on the line?
