For better travel planning:

One main focus with impact until 2026 will be the high-speed connection between Germany's two largest cities Berlin and Hamburg.

Thanks, MarkK!

Still work going on around Mannheim that impacts the trains. If we get flooding in the spring things will get interesting.

I agree on this.

There is also a question mark on financing some of the very large projects, e. g. Berlin - Hamburg (source: NDR).

Right now there's a lot of questions about financing. Whoever gets elected in FEB is going to have to make some very hard decisions.
