Hello,
I'm taking the train tomorrow and have four minutes to change trains. However, if my train is about four minutes late and my next train, which I need to change to, is already at the platform and has to depart according to schedule, will it wait until my train has stopped and passengers can change trains, or will I be unlucky and my connecting train will simply depart?
Thank you.
Best regards, Moritz

Hello! Today I had to go from Altötting train station to Munich airport and then I called a taxi because organizing the train etc. would have been pretty complicated. I was prepared to pay at least €200. I had a total of €275 in cash with me and was sure that this should be enough….
Hello, do bus drivers really always wear short-sleeved shirts? If so, why? And if it's just a rumor, where does the rumor come from? There's a theory that back when bus drivers had to use a heavy lever to open the door, the muscles in one arm grew so quickly that it was cheaper to…

Sometimes they wait, sometimes not. Mostly, a local train is waiting for the ICE. Only once I drove with the ICE on 24.12. a few years ago, the train has not even waited four minutes!
I had to wait more than an hour in the ice cold for the next train. A wheelchair driver only had a connection after five and a half hours!
In other words, pure will!
This is not a willingness, but is often the result of the contractual requirements that require penalty payments for delays, while securing connections remains unconsidered.
Unfortunately, there are only numerous complaints to the responsible responsibilities.
This is not a willingness, because according to plan, 10 minutes have to be available for change. Whether trains have to wait, people always decide in the superordinate train station, not the locomotives.
No, usually they don’t. It would also be bad because the delays would be even more extreme.

This depends on the individual case.
On lines with a dense cycle timetable, for example, it is generally not maintained, for trains without further connections and sufficient travel time reserves it can look different.
Thank you. The route is Kempten – Memmingen. I don’t think I’ll have a dense traffic.
I don’t know the situation there.
Hello Moritz4,
the answer of Rolf42 I join and add a few little tips for you:
In order to better avoid and intercept train delays, you can schedule generous transfer times during your booking ⏳. e.g.
ANNEX In long distance traffic (ICE, IC, EC) 20 minutes changeover time per changeover.
ANNEX In local traffic (RE, RB, S, etc.) 10 minutes change time per change.
Sounds like a lot, but has some advantages for you 😎:
– You live much more relaxed (who likes to check the time and the train app during the whole train ride and thinks: I’m still the next train? Will I also make it my appointment?)
If there’s a delay, you have more buffers to get your next train.
– You have time to get some food/drink.
– You can help another person carry the bag up/down the stairs.
In addition, you will increase the chance to reach your connecting train 🚂 if you book as few transitions as possible.
I hope this will help you for your further train trips Moritz4.
If you experience a delay of 60 minutes or more, you can often get a partial refund of your fare. You can check your claim for refund online and submit your request for refund online http://www.refundrebel.com.

So in Stuttgart we have often experienced that the train that drove towards Heilbronn had waited for another train because it had always been 3-5 minutes late. However, it does not know whether this is common for other routes.
So from his own experiences, he just leaves, otherwise he would be delayed by other trains.
This depends on various factors and is almost always an individual case decision, so it cannot be predicted. Turn in the late train to the train companion.
the trains do not wait for each other
