@thijs_lucas@norden.social @chuuchuu@toot.community @siklist@social.cologne West Germany is just incredibly dense population combined with using trains for everything plus lacking of new lines. It doesn't surprise me, yet saddens me as I am frequent traveller there.

@peteriskrisjanis@toot.lv @chuuchuu@toot.community @siklist@social.cologne Our rail network is no where near as good as we would need it to be. Old and in unreliable condition, too few, most investments go into car traffic not efficiency or reliability. When I look at that map I see that this is a problem for European cross border traffic. Germany forces delays into all European connections. I quite like how the Swiss are straight forward and block delayed trains at their border.
