However it will bring uncertainty for passengers relying on DB's IC or EC services (for instance, a passenger to Dresden or Salzburg) - which aren't covered as they aren't high-speed. (DB may still honour this, but they're not bound to it).
And that is my argument - they should be. It shouldn't matter what train it is that causes the delay - a TGV, Eurostar or the Class 230 on the Marston Vale - the protection needs to be legally mandated in the manner of CIV.
