Deutsche Bahn’s once-admired service has descended into chaos. Whether decades of poor investment or the company’s unusual structure is to blame, it’s a huge headache for a coalition trying to meet climate goals

    Perhaps the Germans could start investing in coal powered trains?

      100% German solution.

      Edit: For everybody downvoting me, see Germany begins dismantling wind farm for coal.

      So tired of this uninformed bashing honestly.

      But while we’re at it: There are some coal-powered trains still in service in Germany, though mostly as attractions. Example: https://www.hsb-wr.de/

        Wind farms are literally being dismantled to make room for coal extraction.
