And its doubtful any statistics from the German side can be trusted. In more than one occasion, I've personally experienced delayed and cancelled trains that were shown as running on time in every information system. DB either doesn't know where their trains are, or is continuously fudging the numbers.

I don't really understand the downvote, as cancelled trains do indeed not count towards the delay.

So often trains are cut short and do not reach their final destination, which is arguably even more inconvenient for the customers.

They are intentionally preventing transparency. The operational side of DB knows where the trains are, and the infrastructure to communicate it transparently to consumer side is intentionally hampered. And so information I'd either delayed or not available.
