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 @jon As a result of the 3 conservative CSU ministers for travel the annual investments per person in Germany were reduced to 1/3 in comparison with Switzerland and Austria.
