Google Maps for trains: DelayBahn brings live ICE and regional train tracking to Germany
HildeKuehne · x · 2026-09-30
A developer launched DelayBahn, positioning it as "Google Maps for trains" for German rail.
- Live map of all ICE, IC, and regional trains with traffic context
- Tap a train to follow it in real time, with stops and arrival/departure times
- Live journey sharing, arrival alarms, and crowd-sourced delay reporting (one report per account per issue per day)
- Shows typical vs. current congestion states; train positions are estimates, so don't make travel decisions on them
Shared and endorsed by Hilde Kuehne on X, echoing the contrast of roads improving via navigation apps while trains still underdeliver.
