Just wondering is there any tip for getting seats in UK/German when boarding? I think most people said Friday/Sunday afternoon tends to be busy better reserve seat first, outside of this any other tips or maybe just sit in a restaurant car and buy a snack?

Thanks!

It is by far not as bad as you think it is. Now I am again in DE=germany since last monday.

ONly the ICE trains have what they call a bord-bistro-with just a very few seats. Restrt is far too great a word for that. ICE trains also have 1 car meant to be silent-clearly written all over, thus usually neglected by screaming groups-these tend to be a little less wanted-and you should put fone to silence.

Plus that trains stop ev 20-30 mins and people get off and on-with more chance to find vacated seat.

There is written “Ruhezone”. Should be visible on the windows somewhere.
