Deutsche Bahn: Hoffnungslos kaputt? Mit Claus Weselsky | heute journal - der podcast

Deutsche Bahn is synonymous with delays, train cancellations, and a lot of frustration. Why has Germany been unable to get its rail service and network under control for years? Is the problem with politicians and the Federal Ministry of Transport, or with Deutsche Bahn's management? The appointment of CDU politician Steffen Bilger as the new Minister of Transport came as a surprise to many. Can he actually get the railway back on track? What will it take for Germany to have a punctual, modern railway? Host Helene Reiner and heute journal anchor Christian Sievers discuss these questions with former train driver and chairman of the German Train Drivers' Union (GDL), Claus Weselsky. Together, they discuss railway management, billions in investments, political responsibility, and the question of how to save the railway. heute journal – the podcast – is available in the ZDF heute app, on the web, and on YouTube.
