Challenges and Demands for German Rail

Transport Minister demands improvements from Deutsche Bahn, while criticism arises that he is only stating the obvious. The logistics subsidiary, dissatisfied supervisory board members, and changes through the traffic light coalition government are also mentioned.

Financing the infrastructure is cited as an unresolved problem, and the state elections in Saxony and Thuringia are discussed. Deutsche Bahn CEO, Richard Lutz, admits to being part of the problem and emphasizes the need for concrete measures.

Additionally, NRW and Brandenburg face disruptions in train services due to construction and track closures. The government has proposed increasing the capital and providing a loan to Deutsche Bahn to address investment needs.
