@bahn.de hello, we were booked on ICE77 from Kiel to Hamburg which was cancelled.
It looks like the only way to Hamburg is via Lübeck right now.
Do you know when trains will be running direct from Kiel to Hamburg again?

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

We had a brilliant few evenings at #Birmingham #LightNight!
Amazing work everyone involved - can't wait to see how it develops in future years. A very long overdue addition to the city!

A bit late to the party but finally time to ditch twitter. You might have heard it's not the place it used to be.
