Dear all,
As you may have seen, Arriva Nederland are now offering a through train between Maastricht and Aachen on the newly electrified line. Great news!
However, a question. I need to travel to Cologne airport shortly. I checked the DB planner page for the journey. If I begin my journey in Maastricht station I am given a route which does Maastricht - Aachen - Cologne HBF - Cologne airport for a price of €19 and change. This is fine. However, in the journey planner it includes the Aachen to Cologne segment on an ICE service.
Is this correct? I didn't think you could use an ICE service with a normal ticket, especially one so cheap.
Any experience? Any advice?
