Because of train cancellations in regional traffic, the state of Brandenburg is entitled to repayments in the millions. For the year 2019, the repayments by the railway companies to the state budget for services not provided amounted to around 14 million euros for the time being, and for 2020 even to around 16.8 million euros, as the Ministry of Transport in Potsdam announced in response to a request from the Greens parliamentary group. The total is still being calculated for the past year.
