A record 151 million passengers used long-distance rail services in Germany during 2019 according to German Federal Statistical Office’s (Destatis) annual report.
The 1.9% growth in long distance passengers was shared across DB Long Distance, Flixtrain (Flix Mobility), Thalys and ÖBB Nightjet. DB Long Distance is by far the largest rail operator so will have benefitted most from the growth.
