Being a victim (some say: customer) of the Deutsche Bahn (with bahn.comfort black status): I sincerely believe they can not. After 40 years of ignoring maintenance, never setting up the East-German rail system for success, I honestly believe the system is broken beyond repair. What is indicative of that is that they believe they can make the Deutschlandtakt work by (no typo!) 2070.

We get what we have, and that's it.

There was a time when there was no railway and a time were we had a good railway. That is not out-of-reach, but it is mostly a political problem, not a technical one.
