- Reposted by Jonathan VincentOlaf Scholz mocked British railways over “broken tracks and bad trains”, claiming that "nothing works any more” in the UK. Turns out: Germany rail problems have become so bad that Deutsche Bahn long-distance service is less punctual than even the worst operator in Britain. www.ft.com/content/d3b6...
- My article comparing British and German rail punctuality in the @financialtimes.com today with @olafstorbeck.ft.com While British trains perform poorly, the German network suffers even more from delays, especially on intercity lines. on.ft.com/4gKX4Sf
- Britain and Germany generally use different metrics to measure punctuality, but using data provided by bahnvorhersage.de, I was able to compare the two networks directly. DB's intercity trains are now more delayed than even Avanti, Britain's worst performing operator
- This causes issues across central Europe, with German delays spilling out into the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Austria
- The root issue, according to Deutsche Bahn themselves, is the poor condition of their rail infrastructure, which will cost billions to replace at a time when future funding remains uncertain
