German Train Reliability

Trains are pretty awesome, especially in small Europe. Flying always comes with security hassle. A train is just: get in/get out.If Europe would just spent more money on infrastructure.We have trains in Germany that can do 350km/h but I've yet to ride one that goes faster than 200, probably because the rails aren't what they're used to be.Then we have the Germany Ticket.
