All German rail (DELFI via gtfs.de) train delays, Wednesday 30 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

81% of stops were reached less than 5 minutes late, and half of them within 1 minute of the timetable.

Trains: 39,427
5 min late or more: 19% of stops
15 min late or more: 5% of stops
Median delay: 1 min
Cancelled trains: 1,020

Recorded from 00:00 to 23:58. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 531,714 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 484 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 39,427 of the 43,829 trains the timetable planned for this day.

Most delayed trains

Line	Where it was latest	Delay
RE1	Bad Zwischenahn	248 min
S2	München Leuchtenbergring	185 min
S2	Mannheim Hbf	175 min
RE2	Uelzen	164 min
S12	Köln Hansaring	154 min

Left out of this list: 2 trains that were late by the same five hours or more at every stop, more often a feed placeholder than a real delay.

What the columns mean

service_date: The day the train was scheduled to run.
route: The line, as the operator names it (for example IC 3 or S2).
trip_id: The operator’s code for this train run. The same train on another day has another code.
trip_start_time: When the train was scheduled to leave its first station.
stop_sequence, stop_id, stop_name: Which stop along the route: its position, code and name.
arrival_delay_min, departure_delay_min: How late the train was at that stop, in minutes. Negative means early. Empty when the operator gave a time but no delay.
predicted_arrival, predicted_departure: The time the operator last announced for that stop, in local time.
observed_at: When that last announcement was seen. After the train has passed, it is what happened.
trip_status: scheduled, cancelled or added (a train that was not in the timetable).
stop_status: skipped when the train did not stop there; empty otherwise.
route_id: The route’s code in the timetable, to join with it.
