Relatively recently they switched from announcing track/train/signalling/overhead line/… failures to announcing everything as "repairs". I suppose the hope was that that would make them sound more proactive (look, we're already repairing the failure), but in practice those new phrasings often just sound silly. > Deutsche Bahn has some announcements which are amazingly unspecific (something like "[the delay] is due to delays in the operating sequence") And the local public transport operator (buses/trams) uses "operational reasons" as a euphemism for "lack of drivers".
