Windows 3.11: Bahn sucht Administrator für 30 Jahre altes Betriebssystem
Deutsche Bahn (DB) has a "new" job opening for a Windows 3.11 Admin.
The lucky candidate should also be able to manage MS-DOS and Windows Workgroups.

The trains aren't late because of this and your punctuality is only kinda right.
If you have an aging infrastructure that is run at 130% of its capacity, then it's easy to be late. One late train, one small failure and your trains are going to be late. There are so many trains driving that there isn't any capacity for errors left and too few rails to drive detours.
The punctuality percentage is bad and needs to improce. It is just the punctuality of the IC(E)s. The regional trains had a punctuality of 95%.
Germany has a big network with many regional trains. Countries like France have a pretty good High Speed Network, but a horrible regional one. France has an average infrastructure age of 28, while Germany is at 17.
Germany has to improve and invest, but the rail network is much better than often described.

that is run at 130% of its capacity
I'm betting that they define capacity in some 1970s way that's designed to excuse every failure in 2024 to improve or be reliable. I bet these people think a McDonalds runs at "350% capacity" because they're efficient with the equipment, process, and management.
Modern train control can run more trains more closely spaced. Rail lines don't have a fixed "capacity" any more than copper and fiber optics have fixed capacities (excluding extreme theoretical ones we can't reach yet).

Wrong.  A solid line of trains from one end to the other of the rail, would be at capacity.

actually hold on, this may be something.  Make a loop around the country, just one big train.  It stops every minute to let people off/on somewhere, but only goes one way.  There is no train to miss, because it's ...

Capacity is a rate. A solid line of trains from one end to the other moving at almost light speed would be the max theoretical capacity.
