Top 10 European train stations with most delays are all in Germany
Life in Germany would be a whole lot tougher without train stations. How do they fare by European comparison? Which German train station has the most delays?
The European Railway Index by the Consumer Choice Center (CCC) ranks the 60 largest railway stations across Europe. In this year's ranking, Switzerland dominated the top 20 stations, with Zürich Hbf topping the list as Europe's top-rated railway station. Germany, on the other hand, did not perform well. Berlin Hauptbahnhof, Germany's best-performing train station, was joint 18th in the overall ranking.
However, it had a significant issue - 61.1% of its trains were delayed, with an average waiting time of 20 minutes. The ranking revealed that every single one of the top 10 train stations with the highest percentage of delayed trains in Europe is located in Germany. Dortmund Hbf had the most delayed trains of any station in Europe, with 73.8% of trains arriving there being delayed.
Cologne Hauptbahnhof followed closely behind with 71.5% of trains arriving on time. Hamburg, Bremen, Essen, Leipzig, and Berlin also featured in the top 10, with varying percentages of delayed trains.
