The German Rail high speed trains, or
ICEs (Inter City Express) as they're locally known, are rather impressive, and go rather fast... and in every 2
nd class carriage they have changing LCD displays, in English &
Deutsch, to inform
passengers of important things such as the current speed (especially when it hits 300
kms/hr), the date and time, up coming stations, and helpful reminders to not forget bags and umbrellas, etc...
but last week, on arriving at the Frankfurt Airport station (on the Munich to Dortmund train), the display said:
"We are pleased to take leave of our guests."
