The train comes, always too late. At least felt. With the carriages it would be sometimes much slower. At least no signal interference. The trains creak and groan, as if you are in the Ghost train.
But that is all no wonder. The train is not moving forward – because the coal will run out. 20 billion in net debt there are already. Although the group was cancelled in 1994 by the taxpayer completely. But chief Richard Lutz now wants to loan three billion.
Otherwise, the investment in the new ICEs and to create large-scale projects such as Stuttgart 21. In the case of S 21 own shares of more than three billion euros must be applied. With the income in the goods traffic the railway can compensate for nothing, she is a arg behind the Plan.
If the – subsidised by the taxpayer – rail network could bring relief, if it would be sold, is still very much there, in the renovation of needy infrastructure. But the main thing is, the train’s coming down from the mountain of debt. Before it is too late.
