I&#x27;ll never forget the day when the DB went on strike, and Swiss trains crossed the border to pick up passengers from Frankfurt.<p>Smoothest, quietest, roomiest train I&#x27;ve ever been in. Even the aesthetics were calming, with nice wide windows.<p>No random stairs or narrow corridors, no garish yellow or red colours, no speakers or beeping doors yelling at top volume.

I am writing this while currently sitting in a DB train that hasn&#x27;t moved in 1 hour and 35 minutes due to another DB train having broken down on the rails.<p>Earlier this week, I was in the train that broke down. That delayed me 2 hours and 45 minutes.<p>The weekend before that I took 5x DB trains, where each and every one of them got delayed by 25-35 minutes.<p>I am now at a point where in the future I will only fly direct to destinations inside Germany.

There used to exist apps and websites with the usual reasons that delays happen or get cancelled, that randomly pick one of them just for fun.

None of the trains would be running if Switzerland managed the trains here in Sydney,AU.

On the other hand a lot of Italian trains still operate in CH.<p>Time changes, uh?
