Following extensive refurbishments on the Riedbahn railway connecting Frankfurt and Mannheim, Deutsche Bahn reports significant improvements in train punctuality and reduced disruptions. In February 2025, the regional RE70 train showed a 20% increase in on-time arrivals compared to last year, rising to 80% punctuality overall, though still shy of the national average of 90.9%. Infrastructure-related disruptions decreased by 27%, and train frequency increased. The CEO of InfraGo expressed satisfaction with the enhancements made to the railway's quality and efficiency after the renovations.
"Infrastructure-related disruptions on the line have also fallen by 27 percent since the renovations - and by as much as 50 percent on some weekdays."
"Three months after completing our pilot project for the general refurbishment, we are very satisfied with the development. We have succeeded in significantly improving the quality of the facilities on the line - and the punctuality figures are also on the right track."
