Why Claims from Köln Hauptbahnhof Succeed
The causes of delays here are well-documented, and none of them are your fault:
- ›Rhine bridge bottleneck on approaches
- ›RRX corridor saturation
- ›International service delays propagating from Brussels and Amsterdam
- ›Limited platform capacity for high train frequency
These causes don't let the operator off the hook. Congestion and infrastructure issues are the operator's responsibility, not force majeure. That's why claims from this station hold up, even when operators push back.
