Trade union - GDL warning strike on the railroads causes many cancellations
The warning strike at Deutsche Bahn also led to severe restrictions on long-distance and regional services in Baden-Württemberg on Friday morning. Deutsche Bahn announced in the morning that there would be delays and train cancellations nationwide until the end of the day. Accordingly, only an emergency timetable with a greatly reduced number of journeys will be offered.
"The warning strike is going very well," said a spokesperson for the German Train Drivers' Union(GDL) in the morning. The GDL had called on its members to take part in the warning strike from 10.00 p.m. on Thursday evening in passenger transport, while the strike in freight transport began at 6.00 p.m. on Thursday. The work stoppage is to end this Friday evening at 10.00 pm. The GDL last called a warning strike at Deutsche Bahn on November 15 and 16.
Deutsche Bahn advises passengers not to travel or to postpone their journeys. If this is not possible, it asked travelers to find out via the information media whether their connection is available before starting their journey. "The big goal is to get back on schedule tomorrow," said a DB spokeswoman.
