Welcome to part 1 of the full journey on IC 2202!
This Intercity is, apart from it´s counter part IC 2201, the only long distant train travelling to Bremerhaven. Furthermore it is the only IC 2 operating on the railway Münster - Osnabrück - Bremen.
The daily origin of this train is Koblenz. From there the route leads to Cologne via the left Rhine railway. Then the IC continues towards the Ruhr area, which it leaves in direction to north through Recklinghausen. Using the 200 km/h fast Rollbahn-railway, Bremen is reached quickly, even though the train is only allowed to go 160 km/h. And from there Bremerhaven is not far away.
In part 1 this Intercity arrived at Münster 14 minutes delayed. Until Osnabrück the delayment remains constantly, but on the long part to Bremen the tracks are finally clear, so the train can use it´s full speed of 160 km/h. So it catched up by nine minutes and removed the remaining delay by reducing the stopover time in Bremen, leaving that city on time again!
