According to the Tagesspiegels drive several ICE trains through the city at night without passengers. These "ghost trains" are not a marketing gag, but the result of acute parking problems. There are no suitable tracks to accommodate the constantly increasing number of trains, and some of the 30 “overnight” trains have to drive around by Berlin, while the train drivers are deducted for regular services during this time. Missmanagement in its blooming form!

According to reports, previous construction plans, especially for a new ICE plant in Stahnsdorf, had to be abandoned on the basis of resistant residents. The additional capacity that is to be created in Schönholz freight station - eight new tracks with a length of 400 meters each - will not be put into operation until 2028. Until then, it remains to be seen how the DB can manage the challenges of the roster of the train drivers and the reliable handling of train traffic. The increasingly apparent delays and failures are an increasingly precarious situation, while the acceptance of the railway suffers significantly from passengers. big plans, big problems
