Storms, construction sites and problems during the European Football Championship: Deutsche Bahn and its passengers have had a difficult first half of the year. The company plans to present a detailed report on Thursday.
Deutsche Bahn will be drawing up its financial balance sheet for the first half of the year on Thursday (11 a.m.). The company is still in difficult waters: extreme weather events led to a particularly high rate of delays, especially in June. The problems were also evident during the European Football Championship, which is why the transport company was once again subject to a lot of criticism.
The comprehensive renovation of important route corridors is currently underway in order to make the outdated network fit for the long term. The section between Frankfurt and Mannheim has been closed for a few weeks in order to be completely renovated. The general renovation of 40 other corridors is planned by 2031. For passengers, this initially means more restrictions. But after the modernization of the central Frankfurt-Mannheim route, long-distance traffic should become somewhat more reliable again.
