[HIGHLIGHTS] “The train driver is completely exhausted” – the train conductor’s own announcement is also “unpleasant”

A cell phone video shows an almost unbelievable announcement from a conductor. “If things continue like this, we will be in Hanover a minute too early.

We apologize for this, but we also promise you that we will make up for it with a prompt delay,” apologizes the conductor. The train is the RB 38 from Start, a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn. The comments online are also enthusiastic about the announcement. ‘The train driver was fired immediately afterwards,’ jokes one user. Lateness is apparently stipulated in the employment contract. But don't worry, arriving early remains an exception, the creator of the video clarifies. The announcement occurred on the route between Langenhagen and Hanover. The video has been viewed more than 100,000 times on YouTube since it was posted on December 6. It is available in German and English on the German Railways' official YouTube channel and the English version is available on the official English version of the German Railway's website.
