German trains are less punctual than Britain’s ‘broken’ railways

It will have been interesting to see a simple customer oriented approach:

• TrainA takes 3 hours to do 100 KM, costs 50$, arrives on time sometimes cancelled, 500 passengers (i.e. UK)
• TrainB takes 1 hour to do 100 KM, costs 5$, arrives usually 10 minutes late, almost never cancelled, 1500 passengers (i.e. DE)

Still doesn’t excuse the lack of investment and punctuality problem but the final outcome for the user is different and less rage bait
