Rail traffic - GDL warning strike hits the north hard: emergency timetable online
The warning strike announced by the train drivers' union GDL is expected to almost paralyze long-distance and regional services in the north and S-Bahn services in Hamburg.
"There will be massive restrictions on S-Bahn services," writes S-Bahn Hamburg on its website. Accordingly, there will be "(partial) cancellations" on all lines from around 8 p.m. on Thursday. "We will suspend operations from around 10 pm." On Friday, the S-Bahn will try to offer journeys on lines S1, S21 and S3 according to an emergency timetable. However, the timetables will only be available at short notice due to the unclear situation. Even after the official end of the strike on Friday, there will still be cancellations.
The Hamburg Transport Association (HVV) is also expecting major disruptions to regional services. The AKN will also be affected by the warning strike. "There will be no AKN trains during the strike. No rail replacement services will be set up for the cancellations," says AKN. The HVV's recommendation: "Passengers are asked to use subway trains and buses if possible." Metronom and Erixx trains are still running, but restrictions must be expected.
Deutsche Bahn also expects considerable restrictions for Schleswig-Holstein. There is an emergency timetable. If trains are running, they will be longer and have more seats. Nevertheless, travel cannot be guaranteed, the railroad writes on its website. Passengers who postpone their journey due to the strike can use their ticket at a later date. The train reservation is canceled.
"All connections in the emergency timetable are now available in the information media on bahn.de and in the DB Navigator app," the company announced. In addition, Deutsche Bahn has once again set up a strike hotline. Passengers affected can call 08000-996633 to find out about their connections. The emergency timetable ensures "only a very limited train service", according to bahn.de. "Please refrain from unnecessary travel during the GDL strike and postpone your journey to another time."
The German Train Drivers' Union (GDL) called a 24-hour warning strike at Deutsche Bahn at short notice on Wednesday. The strike is to begin on Thursday evening at 22:00 and last until Friday evening at 22:00. Disruptions are expected even before the official start of the warning strike.
All employees in the long-distance and regional transport sectors, among others, have been called out on strike, as have employees on the suburban trains in Berlin and Hamburg. According to the announcement, the warning strike in freight transport will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday evening. Among other things, the union wants to emphasize its demand for a reduction in working hours for shift workers.
