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

| Feb 26, 2018 at 20:29 | comment | added | a2xia | @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! | |

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