I am going to France, and will go paderborn to cologne to paris. But for paderborn to cologne, there is a connection in Hamm west, how could I possibly make this connection in 3 minutes? With ice train cancellations, I'm worried if I miss my connection I can't get a suitable replacement. The ticket I have is 1st class all the way

Three minutes to reach basically the next platform seems doable (assuming of course no further delays).
You need to run to have any chance if your train is on time.
But 3 minutes is under the current weather conditions a bet where you need to prepare to miss the train in Hamm.
If your train arrives delayed in Hamm, the app will show you that you need to take an alternative route.
Hi there,
You will be allowed to board any other train in the same class that is going your planned route.
You may want to check with a travel agent or a conductor to confirm that.
You did book it with 12 minutes which isn’t very much given the fact that delays are very common.
However, you could be in luck and the next train will also be delayed by the time you get there.
So just sit and wait (and maybe look for an alternative instead of standing on the empty platform confused later).
Assuming you miss your connection, you should be allowed to take any alternative, right? In that case, there is an ICE from Hamm to Cologne at 10:54 that is supposed to get to
Cologne by 12:10 in time for EST9450. Its severely delayed, thats why it is going to be extra quick and much better than waiting for the next RE7 I assume.
