Only one in five long-distance trains is running: the railway strike in Germany has begun

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Large parts of long-distance and regional rail transport in Germany have been at a standstill again since early Thursday morning. The reason is the 35-hour strike by the German Locomotive Drivers’ Union (GDL) in the stalled collective labor agreement negotiation dispute with Deutsche Bahn. (archive image)

The emergency timetable, a basic offering in rail transport, has been running since 2 a.m., Deutsche Bahn announced on Thursday. “The DB expects a huge impact on railway activities on Thursday and Friday,” a railway spokeswoman said when asked by dpa.

As in previous GDL labor disputes, only about a fifth of long-distance trains are operated on Thursdays and Fridays. In regional transport, the offer can vary greatly per region. It was said that train traffic will not be allowed to run normally again until Saturday. The freight transport strike started on Wednesday evening.
