A large-scale modernization of railways is planned in Germany, 100 billion euros will be allocated for this purpose.

30% of trains arrive at stations late (6 minutes or more behind schedule). Previously, the government set a goal to reduce this figure to 20% by 2027, but in order to improve statistics, Deutsche Bahn began canceling flights. About 80% of the delays are related to the poor condition of the infrastructure, the equipment does not meet the standards due to congestion and deterioration of transport corridors. And another unusual but real problem for the German railway is the growing population of badgers. Animals dig tunnels under the tracks. As a result, the routes between Frendenberg and Unna, as well as between Landau and Wenden, were closed due to subsidence. The schedule of delays is published on the website https://www.bahn.de /.
