Some research on train schedules from Hamburg to Cologne and Cologne to Brussels turns up some interesting nuggets.
From Hamburg to Cologne there is a huge hole in the schedule from 601pm until 1046pm departures. I am sure that World Race Productions planned on all teams having to wait until 1046pm. Even if they had made it to Cologne, they still would not have been getting ahead of the 644am train from Cologne to Brussels. And even if they somehow did the first task in Brussels would surely have caused a Hours of Operation delay.
The overnight travel was OK as long as teams were sleeping from Hamburg to Cologne, but then there was a 3 3/4 hour delay waiting for the train to Brussels. that ust have been uncomfortable in the middle of the night.
Chateau d If:
This is what I had dug up yesterday:
apskip:
Chateau,
I realize that my information from the dBahn website may not properly reflect trains around July 6 or 7, but let's assume they do. Here are the available trains from Cologne to Brussels-Central:
Koln Hbf dep 06:44 1:58
Bruxelles-Central Tu, 29.11.11 arr 08:42
Köln Hbf
Tu, 29.11.11 dep 07:42 1:53 ICE, IC
Bruxelles-Central Tu, 29.11.11 arr 09:35
Köln Hbf
Tu, 29.11.11 dep 08:44 2:02
Bruxelles-Central Tu, 29.11.11 arr 10:46
Hourly trains to start arriving relatively early in the business day is what I find typical of all German rail main lines. Translated, that means I expect that your leaving out the earlier 644am train is incorrect unless you have some way of establishing what that schedule was in early July (it is very probably the same as now).
The dBahn website also listed the change of trains in Cologne between Hamburg and Brussels to be possible with the 1046pm connecting to the 644am train.
Chateau d If:
The DB Bahn website seems reliable for dates in the past. It tells you it's in the past when it is. By changing the date the outcome varies according to what the schedule were then. Here's the website (there is an English version but I couldn't find it this time):
http://www.bahn.de/p/view/index.shtml
I tried to find the 6:44 am train and it does not seem to start running until on/after November 5th. I don't think it was available on July 6th.
