On the platform we slowly recognized most people from our Nightjet and bonded a bit over our adventure being hopefully finally over. We boarded the ICE train, even found a seat and left Köln. We stopped in Aachen Hbf which was maybe 30 minutes or so away and were standing there for a while untill the lights went out... "The train has broken down, it is not compatible with the Belgian electricity system, there will be replacement busses in front of the station".

This journey felt like a game of persistence, when does one give up? We went to the in front of the station with the other unfortunate souls and waited. It was an hour before the information reached us that the buses should come in an hour. During the wait, we mingled with others waiting, met some of the companions that slept in our compartments, people going to FOSDEM and just moved around to keep warm.
