Story

From ICE trains to regional trains: the railway is struggling with major problems. Last year, more than one in three long-distance trains was late. Large parts of the rail network are dilapidated. Trains are repeatedly canceled. The four-part series "In Action for the Railway" follows people from Deutsche Bahn, Nordwestbahn, and the Federal Police at Hanover Central Station, who are giving their all despite, or perhaps because of, the difficulties. It highlights the logistical and technical challenges facing the railway and shares emotional moments on trains and in stations.
