In June, Deutsche Bahn's long-distance trains exhibited a punctuality rate of just 57%, with 43% of trains arriving late. This decline stands out compared to May, where punctuality was 62%, and March with 65.6%. The national railway operator's figures only count delays of six minutes or more. Regional train punctuality in June was 88.9%, a slight decline from 89.9% in May. Equipment malfunctions, unexpected construction work, and severe weather were cited as major factors behind the decreased reliability. Future improvements are uncertain, and the CEO has acknowledged ongoing infrastructure challenges.
In June, Deutsche Bahn's long-distance trains recorded a punctuality rate of only 57 percent, as 43 percent were late, largely due to equipment malfunctions, unplanned construction, and severe weather.
Regional trains, while still outperformed with 88.9 percent on time in June, experienced a slight decrease from 89.9 percent in May, but overall long-distance train punctuality sharply declined compared to previous months.
