It's taking Ernest some time to dig out his much trumpeted figures. Will I be able to claim delay-repay?

Please read the DB website a second time.

This attitude sums up the railways quite well.

100% :lolol:

:lolol: UK trains are 100% reliable. I think we'll all have a pint of what you've been drinking.

Er, I have twice in posts 93 and 95. Are you missing both of your eyes?

No. I have claimed German trains are better. I have never quantified how much better. Stop trying to weasel out of this. You claimed in post 47 I agree there is most likely one German service which is worse than the best UK service but overall I have comprehensively shown this is not the...

On your knees boy Current Network Rail overall figure is 88.8% http://www.networkrail.co.uk/about/performance/ Current DB overall figure on a much much larger network is 95.6% http://www1.deutschebahn.com/zb2014-en/igmr/Economic/customer/cs_punctuality.html

You do not seem as confident as you were earlier :lolol:

Stop turning this around. I have repeatedly asked you over the years to provide evidence for your assertion that UK rail is as good as Germany. And all you ever tend to do is come back after 20 mins or so or surfing with a link about some random incident on some far-flung part of the DB Rail...

Quite :smile:

Are you refusing to put your money where your mouth is?

This is a chat-room. If you find me boring don't read what I post. It's that simple. There's also a handy facility called ignore, try it. It's so simple even maybe even you can use it? If you prefer to back up one-trick-ponies who talk unsubstantiated rubbish then fine. For the record, Ernest...

Why, don't you have any evidence to back up the shit you talk?

FFS. This article relates to improvement. Maybe the UK is the most improved but it had a very low baseline to rise from. Besides, your previous assertions relate to punctuality. Please just put your money where your mouth is and post figures relating to this. You made some very bold and...

Heading out now. I look forward to Ernest taking up this charitable challenge.

Correct. Over the last 5 years, across the whole network, and not some isolated single survey which concentrates on just 3 lines on one service out of the three DB run.

That article is over 3 years old and concentrates on 3 services on the ICE. There is the rest of the ICE, the CE and the RE. If this is the best you can come up with I'm happy.

You're the one who needs to find some evidence as you're the one who keeps challenging accepted knowledge. Shall we have a £50 wager for REMF on this? If you can demonstrate to me that over say the last 5 years, in the general (ie across the country), the UK rail service is as good in...

Or is this, finally, a line of humour?
