UnpunctualI took the train from Siegen to Dortmund as I was travelling on from Dortmund to Berlin. The train journey was very pleasant and it was nice and warm on the train. I was very pleased about that, as there was a lot of snow outside. Unfortunately, the train wasn't on time due to a door fault and so we were 45 minutes late, but I was still able to catch my connecting train and I arrived at my destination station on time.
