On Tuesday this blog reported on how German Rail is rebuilding carriages so as to save money and went on to suggest Irish Rail might follow suit.
But not everything is perfect at the German rail company.
The world famous main rail station, that was opened in Berlin in 2006 - to be ready for the World Cup, which was hosted in Germany that year with the final in Berlin - is not at all going to plan.
Wednesday's Berlin's Der Tagesspiegel newspaper shows a picture of the glass-domed station. Alas a number of the glass panes have broken and been replaced with temporary sheets of timber.
The repair work that is to be undertaken at the main station is due to cost €25 million. And there will be no new glass panes manufactured before October.
