Are there lounges at the rail stations for J/Elite? And I suppose zero catering in the train, or do you get a free drinks cart or similar like in the UK or Italy in the case of 1st class?

Finally do the trips count as regular domestic segments with M&M's new system going in force this year?

Thank you for your time!
You cannot take an earlier train, unless there are train delays or other irops. In J you will be booked in 'First' on the train and you will have access to the DB lounge in FRA. There are no 'free' drinks on the train; they do come through regularly in 'First' and will bring you whatever you want from the restaurant car (at a cost).

I haven't seen any indication that M&M has changed the way it treats express rail in the new system
