| Dammtor station, Hamburg |
A long day yesterday, but a generally very enjoyable one (I’m writing this on the 28th). Early in the day, we took the train from Hamburg to Berlin. It was scheduled to depart from Dammtor station (of which I took some photos; the architecture of Ernst Moeller, who designed the station in 1903, is impressive) at 9:28 but actually left Hamburg later. In typical German fashion, everything is calibrated by a clock which announces (via a computerized screen at the platform where you’re waiting) the exact moment a train is scheduled to arrive and then depart. Voice announcements routinely told us this information, adding that there was a “medical emergency” on our line (our friend W. thought this was likely a suicide) that was responsible for the delay, and then for an alternative route we ended up taking.
