Since when does the train rarely run according to schedule?

As a frequent train traveler, I've noticed that almost no trains run on time these days, and many are canceled altogether. I think this has only been the case since 2015. Can you confirm this, or do you have any additional information?

This has started with privatization creepy. By saving, primarily by staff. In the past, the punctuality of the Deutsche Bahn was considered to be proverbial, today it is a kind of lottery whether a train arrives on time if it does not completely fail.

It seems to me that the railway knows what connections I need. The ticket is valid for a specific ICE, so they need to know who to wait.

In October I had a return trip to the Lake Constance, the transfer times really very “sporty”. But three times to get off the road and three times to get back. Just once I had time to eat something near the station.

Other case: failure of the S-Bahn. Had my bike and was allowed to cycle at night 15 km despite paid ticket. It wasn’t funny at Frost.

But since when that is, I can’t say. Mostly travel with the S-Bahn, which usually drives half-hours with us (large space Ffm). If I hear the street news on the radio, it’s not better.

With me in Hamburg not, that has always been so that if a bus or the train has delays then the rest also works so well net, at the Deutsche Bahn it is usually worse, almost always has delay, different track, completely different train suddenly, my reservation is quasi gone because the train is different than he should be, there is 60%70% nothing warm to eat and and and and…!

Well, it could be, but also by train in Austria, Italy and Prague it was all different than optimal, but yes, but it just gets better, the normal re, Rb etc trains are always punctual with me in northern Germany and southern Germany, but DB gets it only at the route to Munich etc, somehow hardly any way to Cologne….

And why? Because the fridge was out. Actual statement. Goods could be spoiled and may not be sold.

No, because they weren’t supplied…!

I’m BJ ’65 and I’ve never felt the train on time!

In any case, the private ones manage to do this occasionally if not just a late train of the train gets priority.

Yes, for example, until recently Abellio.
But also the privately operated RRX – at least with us – is usually on time.

As a permanent railway driver, I notice that your very flat-rate assertion is not true. I’m driving 95% on time.

Yes, since 2019 I have been again several times every year from Hamburg-Munich, Cologne-Munich and Hamburg-Köln, Hamburg- Freiburg and Berlin it goes to 80% smooth and even almost 😅 always with eating 😂

Even the official statistics of 75% contradict you, with only delays from the 6th. It’s time to count.

In official statistics, however, it is not about trains with which I drive, but about all passenger trains.

This has statistics in itself to generalize individual perceptions in order to achieve a value. I use 4 trains on the day and come to a value below 50%. But would not claim that this is the generally valid truth. You have objected to the FS on the basis of your perception, he would say flat-rate untruths and thus raise them to the truth. Which is refuted by statistics.

I noticed that in 2011. I’ve been driving with the car since.

Also not better, there is really always traffic jam and since 2018/2019 it has become better with the VIEL train really….

What traffic jam? I don’t have traffic jam on my way to work.
