Huh really? Whenever I’ve taken the train in Germany it’s been pretty punctual, and looking at the board that’s been the case for most trains. But maybe I just got lucky and/or it’s changed over time.
Flakiest trains I’ve experienced anywhere in Europe were in Italy - rolling strikes among train workers are crazy frequent and cause so many delays and cancellations.
- yeputons 2y agoThe map claims a journey from Berlin to Bremen takes 2h57m. My last one took 6h 33m. And it was only a single connection in Hamburg. The Berlin-Hamburg ICE got stuck for a few hours in the middle of nowhere, then a few trains from Hamburg to Bremen got cancelled... The usual stuff.
- yashap 2y agoAh brutal. Has it got worse recently? Been years since I’ve taken the train in Germany, but they used to be pretty good IMO.
- yeputons 2y agoI've heard so. I think my first DB train was around 2019, it was another ICE from Berlin to Munich. They've changed the train, cancelled all seat reservations as a consequence, delayed it for a few hours, I missed my connection in Munich... Maybe I'm unlucky :) E.g. I'm quite lucky with London trains (never had a cancellation/significant delay), but I've heard Cambridge residents would love to have a word with me.
