The Only thing that works on the railway, is the fault message

There is a lack of staff, passing tracks, trains and especially in the Autoland Bavaria to politicians, the drive train and, therefore, as a means of transport seriously.

Thursday, 7.10 p.m. - the route agent for the railway report, once again, to the morning greeting: "Due to a technical malfunction on the route between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Mittenwald to adverse effects. It is to be expected with larger delays. Also, it can be short-term cancellations." Commuters living South of Munich, are aware of these phone messages too well. Because the Only thing that works for the track really, the fault message. The temperature drops below zero degrees and just a touch of snow, then the transport system collapses Rail on a regular basis.

The consequences are absurd: Just after the onset of Winter commuters need to get in the car, if you want to be on time in the office. The railway is just days of the operation. Imagine, the Salzburg motorway would be made for a week close to the rooms there in the quiet snow and fallen trees - is unthinkable. For the intolerable conditions there are two main causes: the confusion of responsibilities for the rail network and the years of neglect by the policy.

The CSU since 2009 with Peter Ramsauer, Alexander Dobrindt and Andreas Scheuer without interruption, the Federal Minister of transport. What you have not done rail everything, everyone recognizes the passenger of Lateness and cancellations. None irrlichterte but by the transport policy as Scheuer: He invites the tip rail to the "crisis summits", where he present himself as a maker and from its own failings can be distracting.

A little bit of the rapport appointment of the Bavarian railway company recalls Scheuers PR method. However, in addition to contractual penalties to the train operators need clear lines of responsibility and more money. There is a lack of staff, passing tracks, trains and especially in the Autoland Bavaria to politicians, the drive of the car and they take, therefore, as a means of transport seriously.
