What language do you expect the Germans to use?
This is the norm around the world, especially with complicated situations like a train splitting in two.
Why should anywhere cater to my failure to learn their language and systems? It’s nice if they do but I don’t expect it.
If you are not a backwater that doesn't get any travelers, you should cater to tourists who, as a rule, do not speak your language. Even those tourists who do speak a few phrases will absolutely be unable to understand something as complex as a the train spilling up into two before going to the Airport.

I certainly don't see this attitude from Germans in Spain.
Why should tourists be supported? Tourists are trashing my country nearly as badly as our largest industry (dairy). Without infrastructure they shouldn’t be encouraged.
I have no interest in having more.
We also have no trains, but I’d like that to change.
Managed 2 weeks in the UK without touching cash and the transactions between currency were inexpensive and quick.
Massive fan.
I’ve used it like a debit card/credit card. On phone and as a physical card for tap-and-go on transport. I’ve used it for booking accommodation bookings online too.
Fees are low/non existent and conversion rates good.
In Europe it is pretty hit or miss though, unfortunately.
Unless they happen to be selling something you want to buy.
