Are DB Regio trains often delayed?

DB Regio regional services had an on-time rate of 74.1% in 2024, according to the Bundesnetzagentur. That means roughly 1 in 4 regional journeys arrive late — many passengers are entitled to compensation they never claim.

What counts as 'on time' for DB Regio?

DB Regio uses a 5-minute threshold for 'on time' in its internal reporting. EU 2021/782 compensation kicks in at 60 minutes. A train can be 'on time' by DB's definition but still cause a missed connection that qualifies for compensation.

Does EU law cover short regional train journeys?

Yes. EU 2021/782 covers all domestic and cross-border rail journeys regardless of distance or ticket price. Even a €5 regional ticket qualifies — the minimum payout is EUR 4.
