Yes, that's poor communication. You need to read the last half of the article to really understand what the news is about. The title should be "405,0 km/h auf Schnellfahrstrecke Erfurt–Leipzig/Halle in Testfahrt erreicht". Note that this omits mentioning a specific train.

Germans typically expect you to read full article before commenting. So for them it's not bad communication at all

That's interesting. Can you tell me anything else about Germans? I'm particularly interested in what their school system teaches about good writing and effective communication.
