You know there is a Long Haul Night train between Munich and Hamburg with real Beds, Showers and complimentary breakfast. Or sleeping Pods if you’re on a budget.
Can you honestly justify seats in the first class being left empty, while people in the second class have nowhere to sit? There’s so many ways to improve the situation here without anyone actually being hurt. Can’t we all take a step back and see how crazy this actually this?
Well you can always avoid sitting on the floor by paying the 5€ for seat reservations for the entire journey during the time of booking.
