German rail security insufficient without redundancy, experts say

gmx.net (German)

Experts warn that Germany's rail network remains vulnerable to sabotage due to a lack of redundancy in its protective measures. The Deutsche Bahn relies on sensors, cameras, and drones, but experts argue these are insufficient without backup systems like duplicate cables. This approach leaves the extensive rail network susceptible to damage. While the Deutsche Bahn is increasing security personnel and testing advanced drone technology, experts emphasize the need for more robust redundancy, citing Switzerland and the UK as examples of more secure systems.
