No cover for first class passengers

This blog on a number of occasions has sung the praises of Berlin's new Main Rail Station.

Readers might like to know that the new Hauptbahnhof's design has some major snags.

All first class passengers are not under cover when they step off the train in Berlin. German Rail (DB) ran out of money for the magnificent roof in that section.

So it's best to travel second class - you will not be caught in the rain disembarking.
