German Federal Police are investigating a severe safety incident after an ICE high-speed train door opened at 200 km/h. Nearly 300 emergency responders searched the tracks, and sabotage is suspected.

Starting in summer 2027, a direct high-speed Frecciarossa 1000 train will connect Rome and Munich in 8.5 hours, offering a direct overland alternative to flights.

Due to persistent train delays, the Minister of Transport is demanding that compensation be linked to performance. On the Berlin-Hamburg line, only about a quarter of trains arrived on time. The goal: to reach a 70% punctuality rate by 2029.
