Ahhh…, DBB? ÖBB?
Best spinach soufflé I’ve ever eaten was in the dining car on the ÖBB between Salzburg and Innsbruck. So if that doesn’t get your “Geil,” I don’t know what possibly could.
We spent a couple of weeks using a Eurail pass, two years ago, in France and Germany and the Benelux countries and a separate ticket for the Czech Republic and they were all great systems. Good food, clean cars and exact to the minute schedules.
A couple of years earlier we took the train from London to catch the ferry to Ireland at Holyhead and got put on a bus for the last 50 miles outbound and the whole trip back to London on the return. It still worked great in the 80s when I used it quite a bit. Sad!
