All German rail (DELFI via gtfs.de) train delays, Tuesday 6 October 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

82% of stops were reached less than 5 minutes late, and half of them within 1 minute of the timetable.

Recorded from 00:00 to 23:59. The figures use the last delay announced at each of the 531,684 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 270 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 39,031 of the 42,253 trains the timetable planned for this day.

Not counted in the trains planned: 1,503 more trains the timetable lists on lines the live feed has not carried in the week before (ZVON Oberlausitz-Niederschlesien, Ostdeutsche Eisenbahn GmbH, ÖBB, DB Fernverkehr AG, CFL, Ceske Drahy and 20 more).
