Yes, last summer was an absolute drama for ICE international to Nl and Belgium. But still, an annoying move that can thwart a lot of travel plans for many.

@Mukhammad@Camilo. are you aware of this? Is there any possibility to revise this? Like the sudden decision of TER PACA last summer, to not accept pass holders suddenly. Luckily that was revised quite quickly.

I can understand the fact they want to avoid overcrowding. And there’s a shortage of international ICE’s, not making it easier. But then just make reservations mandatory, for this period, to avoid excessive delays because people need to get off the overcrowded train.

Maybe they should together with DB work on more trains? Instead of this sh**. 

I mean DSB and DB will from April also have more capacity using IC1 cars of DB instead of the IC3 trains of DSB. 

Maybe adding some trains Cologne to Amsterdam using old carriages.

Well, probably last summer there were too big problems due to very crowded trains (thx to the 50% sale), so it is partly understandable and there are enough alternatives (although they take longer, but still)…

Thx for the info!
