What is the primary cause of the current punctuality problems on German Railways, and what immediate consequences are observed?

Extensive infrastructure maintenance is the primary cause. In August 2025, only about 60 percent of long-distance trains arrived on time (within 5:59 minutes of schedule), largely due to numerous construction sites along major routes. This has led to widespread passenger dissatisfaction and operational challenges.

What are the long-term effects of this project, and what challenges might arise?

Long-term, the electrification will significantly reduce emissions from rail transport in the region. Challenges may arise from the considerable disruption to passengers during the construction phases (April 2026-December 2027), requiring the use of replacement buses. The project aims to increase the percentage of electrified rail lines in the region from 70% to 72% by the end of the decade.
