[Master Cutler]

I've noticed recently that DB is not offering the level of efficiency or service of previous years.
Due to the problems and delays on the A5 autobahn I often use DB ICE instead of hiring a car to get to meetings on time, but have recently been disappointed by late trains and missed connections.
This combined with people standing for much of the journey blocking the gangways and my having to prise people out of my reserved seats, the experience is not the delight it once was.
I suppose it's an economic thing that comes from cost cutting but still not what I expect from DB.
Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me being a grumpy old sod?
