No, it is. Go to the UK or Spain and try their trains there. Miles better. Delays of maybe a few minutes on average.
It spills over too. People avoid getting the Eurostar to Germany because although the UK-France connection is solid, anything after that is just a big fat question mark.
Hell even getting a train to the airport in Germany comes with a huge time risk. You just don’t get that stress-inducing level of planning uncertainty in other developed countries with train systems as you do with the DB

The best way to get from the Netherlands to Germany by train is to take the train to the border, taxi/über across the border, then back on the train.
I thought the UK trains were trash and over priced because Thatcher privatized them?
they are trash and they are over priced, but they run predictably. You can bank on making a flight at the airport by taking the train
