Delay becomes the rule – “The system is simply on the verge of collapse”

Anyone who took the ICE 502 from Munich to Berlin last Wednesday was lucky: the train arrived in the capital three quarters of an hour late that day – it could have been worse. On two of the three previous days, this ICE train between the two major German cities had failed completely. On December 15, the train set off, but did not make it to the destination station. Two days earlier, it arrived well over four hours late. And according to experts, the bottom has not yet been passed.
