@jon it would take only 30h if it won't go through Germany 🤣
@PerlPlayer Eh that is too nasty 😀 But it is there it is most likely to all go wrong!
@jon Is Deutsche Bahn or German railways significantly worse than the rest of Europe?
@malte Reliability is a real problem currently. This is not a PR or comms issue!
@jon I meant to write 'or', not pr! :)
@malte Ah! In terms of reliability, yes it is. Major delays are common.
@jon Do you have a theory why? I wonder
@malte Gerhard Schröder. Seriously. That was the point when investment flat lined, and passenger numbers rose and kept rising. And from that you get the mess you are in now!
@jon Sad how cuts can have effects such a long time after!
@malte Yes, although governments in between could have seen what was happening, but did not, or did and did not think it was urgent enough to act. And so now we have this almighty mess.
