Flixtrain is on the move. The private German railway company plans to launch new routes across Europe and order 65 new trains for €2.4 billion. We travel from Hamburg to Cologne to see what its service is like.

I’ve been on a Flixtrain some years ago in Sweden, travelling to Stockholm. It was… ok. I mean, it is a train and it was on time. The seats however were the absolute worst to sit on.
Trains on time with places to sit is better than 95% of Deutsche Bahn Travel.
Flixtrain has the same problem as DB when it comes to being on time. Unless it’s a problem with the rolling stock, the problem usually lies with the railway infrastructure and previous delays. In Germany Flixtrain is on the same rails as DB.
This.
No shit. My wife had to travel with DB recently. The delays were so bad that she had to spend the night in a hotel. At least DB comped the hotel.
Do you know “Jet Lag: The Game”? They play travel games. DB’s utterly terrible performance is a running theme anytime they play in Europe.
Same here… It’s the budget option.
