Open letter to the head of deutsche bahn
Dear mr. Grube,
Do you know friedrichsfeld? Probably not. But i would like to help you on the right track: friedrichsfeld is a district of mannheim and your company can cover the distance to the main station of the square city in ten minutes. At least in theory. When the locomotive driver has no blahs and the sun is shining. So if the timetable is kept to, it doesn’t take long to get to the city center. Or those who are in the center can climb the train from friedrichsfeld and continue from there.
