Deutsche Bahn reported a 2.3 billion euro loss in 2025 due to service issues and job cuts.

Deutsche Bahn reported a widened loss of 2.3 billion euros in 2025, up from 1.8 billion the previous year, due to a 1.4-billion-euro write-down. Nearly 40% of long-distance trains arrived late, and officials warn service will not improve for years, with a punctuality target delayed to 2029. The freight arm, DB Cargo, faces an EU investigation and plans to cut about 6,000 jobs.
