Im Einsatz für die Bahn

From ICE trains to regional trains: the railway is struggling with major problems. Last year, more than one in three long-distance trains was late. Large parts of the rail network are dilapidated. Trains are repeatedly canceled. The four-part series "In Action for the Railway" follows people from Deutsche Bahn, Nordwestbahn, and the Federal Police at Hanover Central Station, who are giving their all despite, or perhaps because of, the difficulties. It highlights the logistical and technical challenges facing the railway and shares emotional moments on trains and in stations.

Police operation on platform 12

Federal police officers at Hanover Central Station were called to platform 12. A former prisoner is traveling on an ICE train without a ticket, and the train staff are afraid of him. At the Hanover operations center, Robin Rühmann is dealing with a train cancellation. He's trying to organize a platform turnaround for the ICE train. The train would turn around without leaving the platform. And in Bremerhaven, the Nordwestbahn graffiti removers have to remove graffiti from the train. Otherwise, they face a fine.
