Show me just one single Dutch VIRM that hasn't been tagged over the windscreen...

35h week from 2029 on for the drivers, sounds like a massive success for GDL and Weselsky!

Hohenzollern bridge is in my opinion the biggest bottleneck in the German network. It has six tracks only, two of them are for S-Bahns only, so local and longdistance services can use four tracks only to serve a city with more then 1m inhabitants. Worst part is nearly all ICEs (except the ones...

100%, it is forbidden under German labour law, so called "Friedenspflicht" (peace-obligation), a duty not to engage in industrial action during the negotiations. The new negotiations between DB and the GDL will beginn on 05.02., and if they fail, GDL is aloud to strike again from 04.03., since...

The strike ends at 2AM on Monday, and there are no strikes until 3rd of March.

Best railways in Europe, and maybe worldwide, is, hands down, Germany! :) We have a continuous high speed network between the mayor cities (from 2030 2tph) on the on hand an on the other hand Takt-scheduling for local trains, it is very cheap if you book a couple of days in advance (Sparpreis)...

Only ten of them exist so fare. Because of the massive "success" they expanded the OHLE section on A5 motorway now to a total of 12km. It is a massiv waste of taxpayers money if you ask me. - The Frankfurt-Mannheim line (so called Riedbahn) is currently closed from 01.01 til 22.01 as kind of a...

The bridge at Frankfurt Mörfelder-Landstrasse you are referring to has been hit by a truck, but has been repaired already.

There are two non-stop ICE services per hour and one RB train from Würzburg to Frankfurt, so why did you wait in Würzburg for an hour on the 720 that left Munich already 45' late???o_O

RE9 Aachen to Siegen is every now and pushed or pulled by Traxx, but the majority of services is operated by Desiro HCs...

They always had all four pantographs raised when I was in A Centraal the last time.

The energy demand of the whole train is so high that the overhead line would kind of melt under 1,5kV. 1698505868 When the train is moving they only use one panto.

On long distance trains (ICE,IC,EC) they dispatch, on local trains, they usually don’t.

I took a screenshot of the QR code. I’ve never had any problems…

Fernbahn.de is usually the better source for Germany.
