This is why Ciaran Cuffe MEP is great. I am sat here in Brussels and he is talking of the problems of the Bruxelles-Köln route. While plenty of politicians are in denial about it. More on this here: https://jonworth.eu/bruxelles-koeln-and-decision-makers-disconnection-from-reality/

@jon Interesting and shocking numbers. I wonder though how this 24% of cancelled trains in one month compare to other high speed routes of Deutsche Bahn. Is this just near the average cancellation figure or is there something particularly bad about Brussels-Cologne?

(There is no reason to celebrate in any case!)

IIRC Cologne was mentioned several times regarding this in David Kriesel's fantastic "BahnMining" talk:

@eliasp @pikarl Ah thank you. Will look. But the Brussels problem is especially pernicious because the ICE 406 series breaks down.

The particular part is, that there is a border. International routes are secondary to national ones.
