|Deutsche Bahn is cutting under-utilized IC connections – and threatening further cuts if the federal government fails to keep its commitments. The Green Party sharply criticizes this in a paper.
Michael Peterson had something to clarify. Last week, there was talk of a "clear-cut" at Deutsche Bahn (DB), claiming that entire regions would be "left behind" in long-distance rail service, even as early as the timetable change in December. On Wednesday morning, the long-distance rail executive presented the real story behind his plans to members of the German Bundestag at a parliamentary breakfast – and why he actually intends to eliminate IC connections soon.
