Talk:Rail transport in Germany

Train categories
If find the order somehow confusing, as the products can not wholly be assigned to DB or a private operator. Therefore I'd suggest to list all train types by priority (top: ICE, lowest: RegionalBahn), with separate remarks on S-Bahn and U-Bahn (usually treated separately). The next (or preceding) passage could be ont the operators? What do you think?

Another point: 'Schnellzug' is IMO no longer an official train type, but only used for chartered trains. Remove or comment?

International passenger trains
Do we really need to list every station between Berlin and Amsterdam etc? (I think not; this is wikipedia and not a train schedule, which any traveller etc will have to consult anyways.) --Cancun771 (talk) 17:38, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Profitability and subsidies
Does anyone have any figures about how profitable the German network is and how much it is subsidised by the state? Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 19:52, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

Overview
In ths table, I assume "multiple units" means trailer units and "locomotive" means powered units?--- Ehrenkater (talk) 11:09, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
