An ICE got lost at the weekend because it got on the wrong track. How this could happen and how dangerous such a mistake is, explains a railway spokeswoman.

The situation would have been different if the express train had been routed onto a track on which other trains had already travelled. However, as the railway made clear in the context of past incidents, the probability of such an accident is extremely low. Despite frequent unreliability, Deutsche Bahn has massively increased its prices. DB points to the energy crisis and inflation as the reason for the increased prices.
