All German rail (DELFI via gtfs.de) train delays, Tuesday 29 September 2026

Delays recorded on this day, in Germany local time. Below: how it went, then the whole day as one file to download.

gtfs.de's realtime feed (CC BY 4.0) carries DB long-distance trains only where their lines cross the VRR and NVBW areas. From 23 October 2026, the DB Fernverkehr trains it lacks (international legs, SyltShuttle, EC/ECE, some IC lines) are added from Deutsche Bahn's Timetables API (DB API Marketplace, CC BY 4.0), with delays at German stations only.

How late the trains were

85% of stops were reached less than 5 minutes late, and half of them within 0.3 minutes of the timetable.

Recorded from 00:00 to 23:58. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 477,791 stops that had one, as the operator sent it. Cancelled trains (marked cancelled, or with every stop skipped), skipped stops and values over an hour early or twelve hours late are left out, as are 236 placeholder values the feed sent instead of a time (a train “here, now” hours late, or one time repeated at every stop). 100% of the stops of the trains that ran (skipped stops aside) had a delay.

The archive saw 35,182 of the 43,758 trains the timetable planned for this day.

Archive outage from 05:00 to 12:15: the archive itself recorded nothing then, from any source (the archive's collector ran out of memory and restarted in a loop). Our fault, not All German rail (DELFI via gtfs.de)’s: these figures cover the rest of the day.

What the columns mean

service_date
The day the train was scheduled to run.

stop_sequence, stop_id, stop_name
Which stop along the route: its position, code and name.

When that last announcement was seen. After the train has passed, it is what happened.
trip_status
