@VincentTunru Are trains in Germany normally delayed?
> Deutsche Bahn racked up a whopping 67 years of delays in 2025. That's almost as much as all other countries combined. With only 58.5% punctuality, it's no wonder "the train is delayed" is Germany's unofficial catchphrase.
@VincentTunru @chuuchuu Wow, that is amazingly bad. I am used to the occasional delay in the UK, but looking at the data, it looks like Germany is well ahead of us when it comes to encouraging people to walk and cycle more.
@plwt Whenever you need to travel East from the Netherlands by train, you always need to account for severe delays in the black hole that is Germany.
Well, except for this trip, apparently. And luckily the other legs were in Switzerland and the Netherlands, the most punctual countries in Europe.
(Knock on wood - I'm still in a Dutch train right now...)
