On my way to Munich this morning — Deutsche Bahn ICE train canceled without replacement. Couldn’t board the next train bound to Munich (run by another operator - Westbahn), so I stood in the cold for 45mins until the next DB train.
That’s where liberalisation hurts customers: multiple operators, but no cross-honoring when things go wrong. Wouldn’t it make sense to have mutual backup agreements for delays and cancellations? 🤔 @jon anything in discussions policy wise on this?

@julienmarchal @jon This is the result of 3 right-wing politicians of the party CSU responsible for traffic in Germany: Ramsauer, Dobrint and Scheuer

@rainerku @jon how is that? Liberalisation of railway sector is coming from EU

@julienmarchal Bit of both. Some in some Member States pushed it, and EU has been happy to go along with it too, and driven it somewhat. It is not ALL the EU's doing for sure. @rainerku
