    Russia on the same level as Germany? I’ve heard that German trains are pretty crap, but really?

      Being a metalhead from head to toes I’ve been going to Wacken Open Tour some years, and I can’t extend how SHITTY the trains are there. You can’t imagine how many times I had to pay for another night in a hotel and another international ticket trip because how the trains fucking skip arrivals/stations without warning.

      And Germans even told me that I have only seen when trains have good days.

      In comparison, Spain is fucking technical heaven, and it isn’t even that good…

      Japan’s rail system is pretty good, tho, better than Spain.

      This makes me wonder what baremus they used for putting Germany there with the rest…

        Geez. I’ve never been to Germany, just got some online acquantancies from the region (German and Dutch). Russian rail is kind of notorious here, largely in terms of shitty quality of the trains

      Deutsche Bahn is THE prime example of how privatizing infrastructure/transportation makes it go to shit.
