I wonder what the statistics would look like if the total number of trains or passengers on the respective routes were also taken into account.
Germany is much more densely populated and has a more complex rail network than, for example, Switzerland. So even minor disturbances have a much greater impact.

@feliz@norden.social @chuuchuu@toot.community @vermeer@mstdn.social Nope. Germany and Switzerland have comparable population densities (especially if you account for uninhabitable mountain areas). The Swiss train network is one of the most dense in the world, and the Swiss use trains much more than e.g. Germans. We have a more resilient network, too, with replacement trains waiting at larger stations should another one fail.
