If it cant work why does it work and did even better in the past before for example germany destroyed a lot of its rail-network
It really is not though. Compared to 1994 there are 50% more passengers and 90% more freight being transported. The main issue is that the network is massivly over capacity and needs to be upgraded. However it is hardly destroyed.
Yeah, neglected would be the better word. I think the software in some trains is actually from 93-94. During this time period of increased demand they just let it run with bare minimum maintenance.
Software? You mean the 100 years old manual switches? That's the actual reality of the rail network. The trains aren't the problem.
Train software doesn't mean anything though? It doesn't matter if it uses Windows 95 or even older. It needs to work reliably, all required software needs to run on it and that's it. It's like complaining your plane doesn't run on Windows 11
I would not want my plane to run on Windows 11, that would be terrifying.
Edit: he -> be
What do you mean? It comes with Copilot. Is there anything better than a plane with Copilot?

A lot of lines have been permanently decommissioned, especially in the area of local transport. They are now unusuable. To call that "destruction" is fitting.
Replacing a train stop in one city with a bus to another city in the opposite direction an hour away to get on a train to go back in the first direction is destroying the rail network.
Yeah, but the Autolobby is in the government...
Probably witches!
