Germany's Deutsche Bahn railways, which is dealing with chronic delays and outdated infrastructure, has widened its net loss to 2.3 billion euros ($2.6 billion) last year due to problems at its long-distance division. The delays led to the division writing down its value by 1.4 billion euros. The company is currently undergoing a multi-billion-euro project to overhaul its main lines, often closing complete sections for months. The overhaul has also impacted the train subsidiary, which has to pay compensation to passengers over late trains.
