I booked a train to Germany. 2 hours before my train even started at it’s origin station, it was already announced that it will be delayed in the station where I need to change (6 hours from now).

I have no way to get the money for my seat reservation back, despite that the journey has not even started yet and despite me and the train company assuming right now, that I’ll miss the train.

It’s an infuriating system and I hate the German train company.

I probably wouldn’t be able to wait and reserve a seat for the train that I can actually catch, because the trains are hopelessly overbooked. I can only hope, that someone misses the next train, that I have to take instead, just like I missed mine and find a free reserved seat there.
