Why do trains in mountains work so well?

  1. I get RegioGet, but ČD?! That high?! Knowing how bad it is I fear for everyone else

  2. SNCB has been trying to implement wifi on their trains for 10 years. However after 10 years they have now realized that they don’t know how to do that and will now just be making adjustments to the window cills so people are able to use mobile data onboard. Belgian engineering is a modern marvel.

  3. I can only imagine the rating includes some unreasonably weighted and unnecessary parameters for DB to score that high. Just transport me from A to B, I don’t care about the lobster quality in the first class-only ICE from Cocain haven to Frankfurt.

  4. Yeah nuh uh, an italian of all operators performing better than the SBB? Blasphemy.

  5. I thought Trenitalia was horrible until I moved to UK

  6. Ashford international doesn’t even have the Eurostar running any more.

    The cheek to still call themselves international disgusts me.

  7. DB standing above NS is the biggest joke in this image. I get that NS is more expensive, but come on…

  8. Mountains = Valleys = predefined layout for rail network. It’s easy if you don’t have to consider every possible direction.

    Better than the Germans though

  9. DB over NS?

    What kinda methamphetamines were the surveyors smoking? Have they ever been on a train before in the first place? 

  10. Do you see anything Norway here? No?

    That’s because we would score less than 2.

  11. This image is a complete joke, clearly made by Mario.

    No seriously, e.g. Ouigo is decent and is like the third worst, DB not being further down.. 

  12. NS deserves better

    Also, which inbred monkeyrimmer rated DB so high

  13. Ireland not even being on the list tracks

    Signed: Limerick Junction hater

  14. I thought that the trains in the UK weren’t bad, until I visited Switzerland. Holy shit they are bad here. much more expensive and worse than the ones in places like Germany

  15. This ranking is a joke.
    There’s no way the Romanian CFR is better than the German DB.
    I’ve traveled with both and I know the DB isn’t the best, it’s famously unreliable but the Romanian CFR far far far worse

  16. CP having a 5.7 is amazing, they are on strike every month, so they even deserve anything above 3.

  17. Wait why is Eurostar marked as a British operator?

    It’s a private company owned 55% by SNCF, 19% by a Quebec funds, 18% by the Belgian railway and 6% by an American investor. Britain doesn’t have anything to do with it, let’s just blame the French instead

  18. this study is bullshit, wanna know how i know it’s bullshit ?

    because cfr and sncb are above 1 rating. THOSE ARE THE WORST RAILWAY SERVICES IN EUROPE.

    i’m romanian and i know this for a fact. the service is so laughably bad that the trains in the summer are not allowed to travel above 40 kmph beacause there is a risk of derailment due to lines buckling from the heat, and in the winter they’re still not allowed to travel above 40kmph because of freezing and snow.

    there is no AC, the bathroom is a hole, i’ve seen people get on with goats, pigs and chickes, beggars and thieves are mundane occurrences, first class ? LOL . tickets are expensive, service is shit, carriages belong in a museum, the whole system is a joke.

    And i’ve used train services in the UK, france, spain, germany and now in netherlands. i’ve even used the eurostar when i moved from the UK to the Netherlands. But whenever i go visit my family in romania, I always rent a car.

    never ride a train in romania

  19. I can only speak for German, British trains and the TVG, from my experience DB is by far the worst, it’s not even close, it’s never came on time and the amount of cancellations sometimes at the last minute is beyond count. British trains can be shit but not in the frequency and severity of the DB.

    All this study shows is what my foundlings of Germans sums up, the British will complain about anything that’s not right even if it’s always like that. Germans only complain when it’s not right some of the time. German trains are always late so they don’t complain about it, they know it’s going to be like that so it’s normal, in fact I have heard Germans complain when the train arrives when it’s meant to.

  20. No shit it’s the worst voted

    You’ve basically always on a one way trip to Fr*nce or B*lgium

    —-

    But seriously, what was the criteria for this?

    There are worse rail companies in the UK not listed here, and certainly a whole load better ones too

  21. What the fuck

    Why are you even paying for trains?

    How can that shitshow of Trenitalia be FIRST????

  22. How on earth did DB get a positive number??

    I’ve been to India and Vietnam and let me tell you, the trains rides there were significantly better
