 @0c1a9324 DB seem to have a VERY casual approach to train information updates and rerouting.

Last time I tried to go from Hamburg to Kiel I almost accidentally ended up in Denmark.

 @961f0bc5 they've gotten progressively worse. I last used them in 2018 and this is ridiculous.

 @0c1a9324 luckily i'd deliberately planned to stay overnight in kiel before getting the ferry to gothenburg from there the next day.

So i could be RELATIVELY zen about the extra 6 hours it took me to do a (Theoretical) 2 hour journey.

 @d46ae9d8 @0c1a9324 well i'll be doing it again next year from somewhere else to Kiel (maybe Berlin). But yeah. Just don't expect DB to be ANY good at service recovery. Ever.
