German Railways (Deutsche Bahn DB)
 German Railways (Deutsche Bahn DB) ... railways of Germany: the Deutsche Bundesbahn of West Germany, the Deutsche Reichsbahn of the German Democratic Republic and the West Berlin VdeR. The Deutsche Bahn AG was founded on January 1, 1994 and, contrary to its predecessors, is a public limited company. As of 2007, all of its shares are still held by the Federal Republic of Germany, though privatisation is planned. The legacy of the former state railways (like civil servants formerly working for one of the state railways) is held by the Bundeseisenbahnvermögen. The group is the largest German railway enterprise and one of the largest transport corporations in the world. About two billion passengers are served each year.Newest Review: ... the Deutsche Bahn call centre in London. You can go on their website (www.bahn.co.uk) for timetables, availability information, pricing and you can purchase your tickets in this way. The website is pretty well laid out, but we didn't use it because we needed to get our discounts, which had to be done over the phone. We made several calls to the call centre because we were booking very early ... more ... and the different legs of the journey were only available for booking at a certain period of time ahead of departure, so I rang once to get information, again to book the Eurostar Leg and finally to get the DB legs. I found the staff to be not only ve...more |

I was so looking forward to travelling to Vienna through the Rhine valley on the night train. I imagined gazing up at flood lit Austrian castles under the stars, eating a meal in the dining car amongst crystal and porcelain, clinking wine glasses with my husband as we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Somehow, the whole vision took place in black and white and amidst steam and whistles (think The Lady Vanishes, The 39 Steps or Brief Encounter) Could the reality ever live up to my ideal? What is the City Night Line? =============================== This is a service operated by Deutsche Bahn that runs through Europe, connecting ... Read the complete review

I have lived in Germany for just over 2 years now, and as I don’t have a car over here, I have relied almost exclusively on public transport, and the trains of Deutsche Bahn (the German railway network) in particular, to get around on my travels. While there have been some dodgy moments, I can say that the service offered to rail passengers in Germany beats anything on offer in Britain into a cocked hat, even if the locals here do like to moan and whinge if a train is a couple of minutes late! The opinions I have read on train travel in the UK, coupled with my own frustrating experiences of the railways on my visits to England, have left me with the ... Read the complete review
German Railways (Deutsche Bahn DB): Cheap and Cheerful (295 words)

I've travelled on trains in Germany twice. Once in first class on a very flash ICE train, and the second time in second class on a bog-standard regional train. The thing that struck me about both trains, was how clean they were. First class on the ICE train was like something more akin to first class on aeroplanes than anything we are used to on trains. Reclining leather seats with footrests and television and information panels in the backs of the seats in front. Large wooden tables with folding sides to make it easier to get in and out of your seat. Large "pods" with glass and wooden walls around some seats so they have more privacy. The ...
