I see a lot of German people jocking about how unreliable the DB is.
Here in France we are almost doing the same with the SNCF.

Last time I took a train in Germany was back in 2011 and everything went fine, it really became that bad?
I guess in both case we tend to exaggerated.

I just discovered that you can go from #Munich to #London by #train really really easily:

1. Nightjet 486 departs from Munich at 23:16 (3x / week)
2. Arrives Paris Est at 9:38
3. Take a Eurostar from Paris Nord, they run roughly once per hour
4. Arrive in London 2.5h later, e.g. 13:30

In terms of "active time spent traveling", this is as good as flying (get up early, head to airport, fly, train into London).

It's more expensive though, because capitalism.
