Train failures in Frankfurt: S1 line affected-this is how you find out!

Current punctuality of the railway

In addition to the current disorders, Deutsche Bahn reported that the punctuality of the long -distance trains in 2023 was around 64%, which represents a decline compared to the 65.2% in 2022. In addition, 36% of the trains were at least six minutes late. In contrast, the DB Regio's trains showed punctuality of 92 to 93% in the first quarter of 2023. The reasons for unpunctuality are diverse and include construction sites, renovations, faults on vehicles, as well as problems in the lead and safety technology and in the network of Deutsche Bahn.

In the context of the train failures, the availability of punctuality and delay diagrams was also addressed, which are provided for S-Bahn lines S1 to S60 on s-bahn-chaos.de . Although the service is currently not available due to data problems, it usually shows how many trains have failed and the respective punctuality encodes. Unusual trains are shown in black and do not go into the punctuality calculation.
