Germany's shift to rail freight stagnates
Germany has made scant progress over recent years in its bid to shift more freight transport off the roads and onto rail, according to a report released on Friday. In 2023, the share of rail freight in total goods transport even dipped slightly to just under 20%, down 0.3 percentage points on 2022, the Monopolies Commission found in its latest sector report. "A shift to rail can therefore only be observed to a small extent," the report said. It also noted an overall decline in the movement of goods last year, not only on the railways, attributing this mainly to cyclical reductions in demand and cost increases. The previous German government of Olaf Scholz set itself the goal of transporting around a quarter of all goods by rail - considered to be more energy efficient and sustainable - by 2030. However, the new conservative-led coalition government under Chancellor Friedrich Merz, which took office in May, no longer maintains that target. "Rail's share of total transport performance falls short of political expectations," wrote the authors of the sector report. "The positive competitive developments of recent years are stagnating." The Monopolies Commission called on the new government to formulate clear political objectives with regard to the railways. It should also monitor more closely how Germany's state-owned Deutsche Bahn (DB) railway network uses the billions of euros it is expected to receive from a planned special fund for infrastructure. "Otherwise, there is a risk that the funds will be used where they strengthen the competitive position of DB's own transport companies," the report said. An independent monitoring body with proven expertise was needed to ensure that the funds end up where they bring the greatest economic benefit, the authors added.

Germany's Deutsche Bahn to end discounted family seat reservations
From June 15th, families of up to five will no longer be able to reserve seats together for just €10.40 in second class. The price of individual seat reservations will also increase by €0.40. As a result, a family of four will now have to pay €22 to sit together on a train ride – over twice as much as previously. The decision has been criticised by politicians from across the political spectrum, as well as environmental groups. Many argue the new pricing structure will push families to drive instead of taking the train, undermining both environmental sustainability and the attractiveness of rail travel. 'Families with children, in particular, depend on reserved seats,' said Kerstin Haarmann, chairwoman of the VCD transport group. 'They are now facing another effective price increase.' Advertisement DB says the changes are necessary to shore up its financial position. Last year, the rail operator posted a €1.8 billion loss. It is now in the midst of a restructuring program known as S3, which involves investment but also cost savings. Unlike in previous cases such as the attempted removal of printed arrival timetables from train stations, which was swiftly overturned after public outcry, DB says it will not reverse course. What is changing from June 15th First class reservations are rising to €6.90, up from €6.50 Second class reservations now cost €5.50, up from €5.20 The discounted family reservation no longer exists Children up to 14 will continue to travel free when accompanied
