We all love complaining but when looking at the big picture, Germany still has great rail. Could it be better? Yes, it's wasted potential. But as someone from southern Europe, this is great. But can't wait to move to a better place.
Cries in canadian rail
When the train gets stuck behind a freight train and has to go 20 km/h
Since the war in Ukraine started it has become very common for fuel trains to take priority over passenger trains and delay everyone in Germany. Somehow they can't plan ahead for it.
They can, they are choosing not to. We have that same problem in the US. Legally, freight is supposed to yield to passenger rail, but private companies don't give a fuck so they did everything they could to avoid complying and now they basically never comply and nothing ever happens to them
