Some days ago, I did my first really long ride in one of those
contraptions, Mainz-Karlsruhe, and it is outright horrible. We can only
pray, that DB looses all the contracts, which they run with 425s.


which is a journey of 1h35, and a Class 425 is not intended for such
long journeys.

Bur if you plan a journey using only local trains taking a total of
nearly 12 hours, instead of a regular connection of 7.5 hours ... well,
it is your choice.
