2Are you sure about the number? ICE2096 doesn't appear - there is only an IC2096 (That doesn't go to Berlin)– Sebastian J.Commented Feb 26, 2018 at 19:09

4Are you sure it had the same stops all along the way - or only for the part that you were travelling on that train? ICE276 runs from Basel to Berlin, and if it was cancelled from Basel to maybe Karlsruhe or Frankfurt, a train running only for the remaining part of the journey might get a different train number (I've experienced similar things on regional trains).– SabineCommented Feb 26, 2018 at 19:45

@SebastianJ. Yes, it was ICE2096, it was displayed as such on the Departures board and the information desk also wrote that on my ticket. Perhaps it was an extra number they used for this "special" run.– a2xiaCommented Feb 26, 2018 at 20:27

@JacobHorbulyk That sounds like the most likely answer! Although I didn't pay close attention to the configuration, I do remember that the carriages didn't line up at the position that was indicated on the stoppage chart on the platform (although I didn't have a reservation anymore, I still stood in the position for the same carriage). I asked the Information Desk and the attendants on board, no one knew why the train number was changed!– a2xiaCommented Feb 26, 2018 at 20:29

15@a2xia The replacement train number was most likely ICE2906. Replacement trains are numbered each day starting with 2900, then 2901, 2902 and so on.– Tor-Einar JarnbjoCommented Feb 26, 2018 at 23:11

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. air-travel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
