@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... Yes, you can get timeslots on DB infrastructure, but DB controls
1. the price
2. the quality of the infrastructure, and
3. the existence of an infrastructure.
You can only get a timeslot on tracks, that exist. Many smaller towns in Germany, that used to have a train station, don't even have tracks any more.
And on investment, who would have to have invested in that infrastructure? The 100% state owned DB, maybe?
