I think we managed 1 train that set off and arrived on time in the whole time we were there. Lucky for us that was our 4hr journey from Düsseldorf to Berlin. On other occasions we weren’t as lucky, we had a trip to Bonn one day that set off on time and then got later and as it went down the line eventually stopping somewhere near Bonn but it just stopped with no explanation, no phone signal so I couldn’t work out how to get to Bonn from the station we were at so we just came back. Apparently the train just sat there for an hour. We were probably 95% of the way there.
You heard stories of trains setting off back to Düsseldorf from matches in Gelsenkirchen and half way back the driver would pull into a station and abandon the train because it was overcrowded, this happened on more than a couple of occasions.
